Second entry from 25th October

Second entry from 25th October

Incorrect, IMHO.
From Friday, June 10, 2011
Added 4 years, 11 months, 2 days

It should be Thursday, May 12, 2016.

Provided Counting backwards, from May 12, 2016, you have not exceeded 180 days/12 months period.

UKBALoveStory appears correct.

Could you please help on Tier 1 (General) to ILR 5 years continuous period calculation

MY UK First Entry date: 09-Aug-2009

There were 3 visits outside UK before 05-Nov-2012 and that were short trips of 2 months each,
But my latest Entries are below where you can see the big breaks,

UK Entry date: 05-Nov-2012
UK Left date: 26-Aug-2013
( almost 90+ days break )

UK Entry date: 30 Nov 2013
UK Left date: 06 Dec 2013
( almost 150 days break )

UK Entry date: 06 May 2014
TIll now I am in UK

Now i am going to apply my ILR on 14 Aug 2014 , If I see the the latest previous 12 month period, I have spend like 240+ days outside UK, THe point is all this period is scondments and for projects from my employer, and I have letter from the my employer as well.

Am I eligible with this gap ?

[fusion2014]

After coming to the UK, I did not visit my home country.
Is there any requirement to visit the home country to apply for the ILR?
