Calling for help from all people with days outside uk greater than 180 and have succeeded in ILR.

How to answer question D2 in Section 9 of the form.

"Please confirm whether you have been outside of UK for any single absence of over 3 months or one or more absences which amount to more than six months in total during the 5 year period? "

Is this answer to this question based on total absences or after disregarding paid leaves and business trips?


My days outside is 377. Business days 204 - short trips and no trip more than 90 days. Personal days are still less than 6 months.

How have other people approached this question?
