Hi
I have been looking at other posts but want to know about my case whether it can be taken further and apply for ILR, instead of one more Tier 1 extention?
I came to UK first time in 17th May 2007, on Work Permit and went back to India on 31st August 2008.
After few months gap I came to UK on 21st November 2008. Got my visa extended, become Tier2 (ICT).
Later I got Tier1 General on 10th July 2009 (with validity upto 10th July 2012) and had to go back to India 30th April 2010.
I came back to UK on 11th November 2010. I got my Tier1 General extention from 10th July 2012 to 10th July 2014.
So my current visa is due for extn in July.
As you see in 2010 I got more than 180 days gap but I am planning to apply for ILR in June2014, so that I can split the gap.
Assume 20th June 2014 is my application date, so back 5 years will be as below, other gaps are due to holidays
20th June 2014 - 21st June 2013 --->> gap 17 days
20th June 2013 - 21st June 2012 --->> gap 31 days
20th June 2012 - 21st June 2011 --->> gap 20 days
20th June 2011 - 21st June 2010 --->> gap 157 days
20th June 2010 - 21st June 2009 --->> gap 90 days
can any one help me whether I am eligible for ILR?
if I am eligible do I need to provide employer letter for that gap in 2010? even after splitting?
also do I need to prove English language condition again? I got points for this 1st time Tier1 application and at extention.
Please help.
Thanks
