Hi,
I have a query.
My friend is eligible to apply ILR from 07/03/2019. She is on Tier 2 General.
She was not in UK from 06/07/2017 to 12/10/2017 and from 10/11/2017 to 31/01/2018.
With the new rules will she be eligible to apply for ILR?
I couldn't understand how to calculate these days.
Please please help

Counting backwards from the date of ILR, there cannot be any absence of 180 days or more in ANY of the 12 month periods.

(i) the applicant has been absent from the UK for a period of 180 days or less in any of the five consecutive 12 month periods preceding the date of the application for leave to remain, except that any absence from the UK for the purpose of assisting with the Ebola crisis which began in West Africa in 2014 shall not count towards the 180 days, if the applicant provides evidence that this was the purpose of the absence(s) and that his Sponsor agreed to the absence(s);”,
