Hi Amber,Amber wrote:Was there any compelling reason for the absence - 4 Out 20-Dec-09 10-Jul-10?
Intra-company transfer migrants
A migrant can apply for settlement when they have been in the UK for five years if they:
previously applied under a Tier 2 (ICT) category before 6 April 2010, or
switch into that category from being an ICT work permit holder.
You must refer to paragraph 254GF of the Immigration Rules when you read the following
instructions.

However, you can split the dates, so put a start date as, 18 June 2008.
From that work out if absences exceeded 180 days in any 12 month period. So, 18-Jun-09 - 18-Jun-10 etc...

Hi Obie,Obie wrote:Assuming Amber's idea is workable, i am simply checking whether the work permit you were issued was to work with the same company you are working with now, on an intra-company transfer basis

I will not focus on visa issued under the rules in place before 6th April 2010, as you clearly do not meet that requirement.ii)
a Qualifying Work Permit Holder, provided that the work permit was granted because
the applicant was the subject of an Intra-Company Transfer.
Hi Obie/Amber,Obie wrote:My colleague suggested you readjust the date you are claiming as the qualifying period in order to reduce the period you spent overseas, for the purpose of the qualifying period.
Assuming you can do that, the next hurdle to overcome is this.

if you can confirm you qualify under the above, then perhaps Amber's Idea may assist you.
Hi Draveshiya,draveshiya wrote:Hi Jai,
If you have continuous visa and have around 202 days of gap, I believe if you could break your gap in 2 years so that your total absence <180 days in a year, you should be fine. I have come across multiple cases on this forum similar to yours and they were granted ILR.
If you need further info please ping me, I may be able to assist you.
Thanks
