Hi,
I have my ILR application appointment in 2 weeks. My total absences are less than 180, but have one absence more than 90 days.
I was paid in India for the duration, and have a letter from the employer but i am struggling with proofs for ties with the UK during the absence due to following reasons
1. i only had the tenancy in UK for first 2 months (i vacated the apt because i wanted to move closer to work). Got a friend to move my stuff into his house till i return. I can show tenancy payments done for the first 2 months via bank statement.
2. I also have a statement british gas showing my payments for the first 2 months.
3. My mobile contract was active for all the absence days but the big problem here is that the contract is in my friends name and i pay him for the mobile bills. Can I show this as a tie maintained - by showing the mobile bills and payments made to my friend?
Are these sufficient evidence to show my ties with the UK during my absence?
I would appreciate if you can advise....

60 views but no response...does that mean its a rubbish idea of proving ties?

The mobile bill in your friend's name will be discounted. It also appears that your only proof is during the first 2 months of your absence. This is unlikely to show continued ties.

Thanks Casa. Is it worth producing 2 months proof at all?

Most important is a letter from your employer emphasising the fact that your posting in India was in the interests of the company and that you were paid UK salary and tax (at least for a part of it since you have exceed by only 7days).
