When submitting information to the Home Office for an application, it is important to present it in a clear and organized format to minimize mistakes. The document provides an example of how to submit absences from the UK in a table for each year with the dates, number of days, and reason for each absence. Organizing the information this way can help the application process go smoothly and potentially avoid unnecessary delays.

1. When submitting information to the Home Office, do yourself a favour and make it
presentable. By doing so, you take control of your application and minimize mistakes,
yours and theirs. N.B. By doing it in this format, you might avoid counting unnecessarily an
extra day. Please find below an example of what I submitted for absences when I applied
for ILR. There are lots of things you can do for yourself if you just approach it a calm and
strategic manner.
