Hi
My name is R.Khan. I came on TIER 1 General PBS on 5th of June 2009. I got an entry clearance on 27/01/2009, but due to the birth of my child I came after 90 days. My five years will be completed from my entry date i.e. 4 of June 2014. I will apply 28 days before on 8th May 2014 with three dependents. My question is that when I came I left the UK on 26/6/2009 and returned after brought my family on 8/10/2009. When I left I did not have any job. Please advice me do I need to provide any documented proof. My understanding is that the documented proof required only for all the absences and trips related to job.

Thanks

have you read the continuous residency period qualifying time? if you entered UK after 90 days, you cannot apply for ILR on the date/period from your post

You are ok as long as you are calculating your 5 years from the date of entry.
I guess You are also safe for your trip between 26/6/2009 & 8/10/2009. Check the link for further clarification,page 19.

For the days you had no job while away from UK, you can attach a self written absence letter with your application, should be sufficient.

Thanks Argus
I can apply without any problem calculating my five years from date of entry without breaking the continuous period i.e. not exceeding more than than 180 days in a relevant 12 month period. Please read the page 27 of the link below given by another friend.
Thanks
