Cleared English Test but No decision can be made based on number of days.

 I sometimes question whether we should even reply to questions when someone cannot at least partially fill in their time-line.

Well unless VJ makes it a member requirement to  fill in the timeline, we'll have to put up with not knowing in some cases lol...but yeah, profiles/timelines are nice to be able to help someone more fully sometimes.

 

 

Side note: it would be nice if VJ provided the ability to fill in timelines that made sense for all immigrants, The current way it’s set up is completely useless for a diversity visa immigrant, for example. Almost none of the fields are relevant. Heck, we don’t even have a category for the profile section, having to make do with “other”... so please don’t be quite so quick to judge those who may not have timelines

In some cases, depending on the country, there are no entry/exit stamps, so a person cannot refer back to the passport.

My Canadian passport has never been stamped in over 20 years since my last 2 renewals, and I didn't keep any of my airline receipts,...not saying the OP shouldn't have tried to calculate the dates better, just pointing out sometimes the person cannot rely on passport stamps alone.

 

 

Indeed. The UK doesn't for UK citizens or EU passports, neither exit or entry.

I have also entered the US from Canada (using pre-clearance) more than a few times since becoming a LPR, and on several occasions they didn't stamp my passport....

Yeah, unfortunately I had none of that when I applied for my N400...my current passport was all blank pages, my expired passport was all blank pages, no travel receipts, no boarding passes, none of that.  Many of my tickets were bought using cash so no bank/credit card statements.  I had a tough time estimating dates of my travel for the past 5 years and sweated over that part of the application myself for a while  :/ 

 

Finally ended up requesting FOIAs  regarding travel history.

Your situation was different, I'm guessing. The OP has either not been honest or made a massively ridiculous error by being out of the country so much she's flirting with the allowable limit. If you know you're that close to the limit, you don't just guesstimate the number of days (conveniently landing on the maximum allowed) and not go in prepared to demonstrate that you meet the requirements; instead, you make heroic efforts to track down all the receipts, credit card records, online itineraries, etc., to show that your version of events is credible. Without proof or documentation, you have no way at all to counter the IO's claim of how many days you were out of the country. This is going to get denied, clearly.
