I am on Tier 1 General and will be eligible for ILR next July (2012). In one period I was out of the country for 90 days from 15 Dec 2008 to 15 March 2009 (including departure and arrival dates). It was meant to be for 2 weeks but I had to reschedule because of family issues back home. I was also unemployed at the time for about 6 months. Will this have any negative impact on my ILR application? Please advise what I need to do to avoid reseting the clock. Thanks.

From my calculation if you include 15th of Dec and March then total days comes to 91 .....

but should NOT calculate departure and arrival date as out of country and if you do that then you are only 89 days ... so you should be fine...

Lets wait for some senior to validate it.

Days of departure and arrival are not counted in the total absences.
