Congratulations!!!

I have couple of questions if you do not mind:

1. Did case worker ask for specific documents or you just gave everything you had?

2. Overall experience at Croydon? Anything you did not like?

3. What cohabs documents case worker asked and/or considered?

4. Any absence-related questions?

Thank you in advance.

First of all congrats on your ILR.
Could you please let me know if you had taken any letter from your employer for absences and did the CW asked for any.
Even I entered UK on WP and I have 2 leaves which are unpaid while on WP, but both are of 1 month duration when I had been to offshore.
And i guessing you didnt had to fill section 6.3 to give reason? or if you had done what reasons did you give?

Thanks,
Samad

Same Q as samad - what did you list as the reason for unpaid absences?

Also were the 60 days continuous?

I have taken the employer letter for 60 days absent, which I was working at in india.
But case worker didn't ask.

I have not ticked any thing in question 6.3, because they are not applicable.
But I have listed down all my holidays for question 6.2 including 60 days business trip.
'Reason' I have used for 60 days absent is 'Business trip

Thanks ashrithb for answering, your response made me relax a lot, as I have got couple of unpaid absences, so was worried.
