Tier 1 --> ILR 145 days of absence

[atuk]

Hello guys,

I am on Tier 1 (General) visa.

Initially, I came to UK from Indian Company on my Tier 1 visa. I was in UK for 6 months but my salary was paid in India.
I then went back, resigned Indian company, searched Job in UK and came back on my own in UK after 145 days of absence.
Since then I have been working in UK and have not taken long holidays.

Now, when I apply of ILR --->

Q.1 Whether and How can I present Initial 6 month stay in UK (with no income in UK)
Q.2 Will 145 days of absence from UK will create any problem? What proof I can provide here?

Thanks.

Hi Friend,

I am in similar situation, did you manage to apply ILR? did you have to provide any sort of proof for absence?

Thanks in advance,

Absense of continuous 90 days in UK is not allowed and any period spent before that will not be counted for ILR. You have to count your 5 years spend in UK starting from your second entry.
