Absence more than 180 days out of UK

[fashaikh79]

Next month I am applying for ILR and I just checked new form which was released on 29th of Feb 2012 regarding the continuous stay in the UK.
Number of Absences (Paid Annual Leave) = 125

unpaid stay out of country= 79 continuous days. (during this period I was unemployed and it was my first year of HSMP I went to see my family and to attend wedding ceremony of close relatives and family friends.
would it cause any problem and do I have to give any evidence (if yes than what kind of evidence i have to send with application as it was family visit.

I got permanent job in next year and after that my all visits are covered by annual paid leave.

I would appreciate a quick response.

You have to be upfront and honest and provide thorough documentation. Since you are not grossly over 180, there are chances UKBA might be ok with that.
