Had more then 180 days gaps in year 10 years route, can I apply ILR 9th Year 11th Month?

[Chandu333]

Hi All,

Hope you all are doing very good, can any one please suggest on below query:

If a person came to UK in 2010 November under Tier 2 ICT and continued under the same visa until today and which is going to expire in 2020 but there is agap in 2014 as below:

In 2014 January left from UK until May 2014 i.e Total duration 5 Months
In 2014 June stayed in UK for only 15 days and again left from UK in 2015 June 16
In 2014 October 2014 again back to UK and staying continuously in UK.

In above case is he eligible to apply ILR?, If Yes when can I apply ILR bcz in 2014 in Total year he had a gap of 180 days through Out a Year but not continuously having a gap of 180 days in 2014 i.e in two different intervals he had the gap in 2014 which is more than 180 i.e 220 days in 2014 but not continuously in 2014 i.e
In January to May i.e 150 days out from UK in 2014 and then June 1st to June 15 in UK again and from June 15 to October out side of UK i.e this gap is 100 days out side from UK, when he was out from UK he was not in UK payroll, he had offshore payroll, when he moved to UK, immediately he had under the UK Payroll

Where he was out from UK, he had the same ICT UK visa (no extensions done in home country, all extensions
are done within UK)

If the person is eligible to apply ILR in 2020 then at what time he can apply in January 2020 does he quality to apply, or he need to apply after the first gap i.e in 2020 May? bcz if he apply in January he had a gap of 220 days in 2014 where as if he applies in 2020 May then he is having a gap of 100 days so at what time in 2020 he can apply, can he apply in 2020 January with an employer supporting letter any?.

Appreciate if any one help on this query:

Thanks,

Hi,

Some one could you please help on below query:
I came to UK in Tier 2 ICT visa in 2011 - January
I left to Home Country in 2013 - January 8th
So I had gap here 150 days here -- First gap in 2013

Again I back to UK in June 6th 2013
Again back to Home Country in June 14 2013
So I had gap here 120 days here -- Second gap in 2013

Again I back to UK in 2013 October 6th and Continuously working until today:

So in First and Second gap I had 150+120=270 days out in 2013 i,e more than 180 days out but not continuously in a single go, two different intervals but each interval is not more than 180days out but overall in 2013 I was out more than 180days.

So My question is Can I apply ILR on 2020 December as I complete 2021 January - 10 Years? or I need to apply after my first gap i,.e in May 6th 2021?.

During my above journey, when l left Home country I had a valid visa, I dont have any extension in home country, I had every extension in UK, during my offshore stay I moved to India Payroll when I moved to UK, I was into UK payroll.

Could any one please advice, appreciate your help in this regards

Thank You,
Chandu
