ILR Eligibility - Actual Count Start Date.

[dpl]

A. VISA issued by UKBA --> 1-Dec-09
B. Entered UK --> 6-Dec-09

Applying VISA on 6-Nov-14 [ within 28 Days before the Visa was issued]---> Is this assumption correct ?

Year-----------Days of the year-----Abesent Days
Year-1---->6-Nov-14 to 7-Nov-13<---->14
Year-2---->6-Nov-13 to 7-Nov-12<---->0
Year-3---->6-Nov-12 to 7-Nov-11<---->13
Year-4---->6-Nov-11 to 7-Nov-10<---->118
Year-5---->6-Nov-10 to 7-Nov-09<---->201 Option-1
Year-5---->6-Nov-10 to 6-Dec-09<---->172 Option-2
Year-5---->6-Nov-10 to 1-Dec-09<---->177 Option-3

So If I count Year-5 back from 6-Nov-10 i.e. till 7-Nov-09 then total absent is 201 days ,
and if I calculate absent till 6-Dec-09 (Day I first entered UK) then total absent is 172 days ,
and if I calculate absent till 1-Dec-09 (Day when Visa was stamped) then total absent is 177 days .

Could someone please confirm which date should be calculated for Year-5?

Experts please comment .....

You'll have to make it so that for every 12 months your absences are 180 days or less.

Thanks Amber for your reply. Does that mean that option 2 and 3 will not work?
