Dear experts,

I am on a Skilled Worker visa and getting ready to apply for my ILR SET(O), I'd sincerely appreciate your guidance on the following 2 questions.

1. Can I provide the entry/exit stamps on my USA passport as proof for absence from the UK in the last 5 years? I have made a lot of short trips for work and vacation, though I am not in breach of the 180 rule within any 12months. I have changed 3 jobs in last 5 years, so letters from previous employers are not an option.
I do have some tickets and boarding passes on emails, should I attach those?

2. As mentioned, I am in my 3rd job since working in the UK from Aug 2016. I have had periods of unemployment between the jobs, though my Tier 2 visa was not curtailed.
Does this pose an issue to qualify for applying for the ILR? I understand the 60-day between jobs rule has been scrapped, though does this period of unemployment need to be listed somewhere?

Many thanks for your help!

1. Passport pages are enough
2. Periods of unemployment are not an issue

Thank you Zimba!

Couple of follow-up questions (hopefully final questions!)
1. Some of the entry stamps don't show up on passport since I must've used the e-gates at UK entry. How should I manage those? Should I write something in description; can they find proof of it on another system at their end?

2. While listing each of the trips outside UK, should I add how many days in the description or will they do the counting (getting nitpicky!). I have many 2-3 day work trips and weekend vacation trips.

Appreciate the advice!

1. There is no need to actually provide proof. UKVI has your records of entry/exit
2. No need. Just provide the period. ONLY full days count

Thanks a lot Zimba!

Hi experts, I have an additional question as I complete the application for ILR.

In the documents required section, it asks for (in separate lines with boxes to check)
1. Current BRP
2. Evidence of immigration status in UK
3. Passport issued by USA
4. All previous passports, travel documents or national identity cards that you have used to travel to or remain in the UK

Q1. What do I submit for #2? Isn't the BRP my evidence for immigration status?

Q2. I do not have any previous passports or id cards expect for USA passport. What do I submit for #4? They are not asking for previous BRPs I assume? Or my old cancelled India passport since I entered UK in 2016 as a USA citizen?

Many thanks!

Submit only BRP and any passport used in the last 5 years

Just to confirm, I check the boxes for all 4, and submit BRP and current passport since these suffice for the 4 required documents?
Thank you Zimba!

yes
