Hear me out... I'm only seeking guidance, as I am not 100% sure myself.
Let me re-explain.
I have lived in Karachi since birth (KHI-Home).
Then, for my Bachelor's, I went to Nottingham in September 2013. It was a 3 year program.
I lived in uni accommodation there.
Timeline of my addresses (example):
2006-October 2013 | Karachi |
September 2013-December 2013 | Nottingham Hall (1st year 1st semester) |
Then I came back to Karachi for a month (December holidays) | Karachi |
January 2013-June 2013 | Nottingham Hall (1st year) second semester |
July2013-August 2013 | back in Karachi |
Sept 2014 to december 2014 | nottingham hall (2nd year) first semester |
So, I kept coming back for 10-20 days to Karachi, during my 3 years in Nottingham... sometimes for Easter break, sometimes for a cousin's wedding, etc.
The 'Address History' says 'NO GAPS', and
that is making me feel anxious.
At the same time, I don't want to get
too granular with my addresses... I don't want to provide an address for every single trip of mine since the last 10 years... sample of whcih i gave in the table above...
Instead, I just want to make 4 entries in my address history (to cover my major addresses where i LIVED for atleast a month), not just spent 10-15 days.
- Karachi 2006 -present
- Nottingham year 1 Halls (Sept 2013 to July 2014)
- Nottingham year 2 Halls (Sept 2014 to July 2015)
- Nottingham year 3 Halls (Sept 2015 to July 2016)
This is how I am probably going to enter my Address History... ^ Let me know if it looks ok. Here I am accounting for the MAJOR chunks of my addresses... not short trips back and forth between my resident country and uni... because that would potentially mean up to 20+ address entries.
I agree this method
does appear to be gap-py, but can I then explain in my LOE, that I used to visit my house in Karachi during non-term time? Instead of creating a Karachi entry for every minuscule trip back home?
Sorry for sounding too extreme, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Thanks!
