Seems ok, you can't normally settle on T2 (ICT) post April 2010 unless you have a work permit, which you did. So far as:

If the applicant’s leave expires whilst they are outside the UK and they apply for entry clearance within 28 days, the applicant’s continuous period is not broken. In this circumstance, if they successfully get a new grant of entry clearance, the period spent outside of the UK will count towards the 180 days allowable absence. This includes any time:

I read the following details in one of the UKBA doucuments on page no 27

"If the applicant’s leave expires whilst they are outside the UK and they apply for entry
clearance within 28 days, the applicant’s continuous period is not broken. In this
circumstance, if they successfully get a new grant of entry clearance, the period spent
outside of the UK will count towards the 180 days allowable absence. This includes any
time:

 after the expiry of their leave
 while the entry clearance application is under consideration, and
 where they are delayed entering the UK once entry clearance has been granted."


Could you please tell me whether I'm eligible for ILR or not?

If yes, when can I apply?
If not, is any other possibilities are there to get ILR?

Yes, it appears so, so far as you meet the eligibility criteria.

Hi Amber,

How the 180 days absence will be calculated?

In any 12 months you should not have been absent from the UK for more than 180 days!

Hi Amber,

thanks for your reply.
Please be patience for one more query


whether it is continuous period of 180 days in a year(12 months) or multiple breaks added in a year(12 months)?

Either.
