Will they deny my BRP application?

[weelassie]

Hello friends,

I have the old-fashioned sticker vignette of ILR in my now expired passport, which means I can't work without transferring to a BRP which I believe we all know. I went to apply online and see they're asking for absences over 6 months, which instantly made me concerned because frankly, why are they asking? Absences of a continuous 2 year stretch is what causes someone to lose ILR, but I have had more than 12 trips between the US and UK to see family for long periods of time, despite there never being a 2 year period where I didn't come back home to the UK.

Am I reading into this too much? My thinking is, "I haven't been gone for the continuous two year stretch so why do you care if I was gone even 6 months or more?" I stopped at step two because I wasn't sure if by applying I'm just opening a can of worms for no reason.

Any accurate advice greatly welcomed. Thank you for taking the time to help xx
