I am on tier 1 200k route visa until Jan 2020 and applied for ILR in May 2019. I wondered if i am able to travel out of UK for two weeks in October?

I read couple posts that while awaiting ILR decision, applicants should not travel or application will be treated as withdrawn. however, my visa not expiring until Jan 2020 which means i am not a overstayer.

Could anyone please advise if i could travel or not under my circumstances or you have similar experiences before?

Thanks

It doesn't matter if your visa is still valid. If you travel overseas while your ILR application is pending, it will be treated as withdrawn.
