Absence after obtaining visa and before starting work

Post by elecrobot » Fri May 30, 2014 12:33 pm

Hi,

I am applying for ILR soon and I have following question. Would really appreciate if someone can please help:

I was on student visa and after securing a job, I was granted permission to stay under tier 2 on 24/07/2009 within UK. My job started on 17/08/2009. I went on holiday in between this period i.e. from 31/07/2009 until 11/08/2009. I am getting a letter from my employer regarding absences from UK (including paid annual leaves) after my first day at work i.e. 17-08-2009.

As per section 6.3 of set (o) application, evidence is required to support the reasons for all absences from the UK. Can anyone please advise what evidence can I show regarding my absence which was after obtaining tier 2 visa and before my first day at work i.e. 31-07-2009 until 11/08/2009. This holiday was visiting family back home. It wasn’t a compelling or compassionate reason. What box should I tick in section 6.3 for this absence (i.e. 31-07-2009 until 11-08-2009).
