Hi
Your ILR eligibility starts from 22nd Dec 2015.Apply after this date
Tuesday, 19 January 2016
Subtracted 28 days
Result: Tuesday, 22 December 2015
If you apply after 10 Jan 2016 you should not have 180 days absence upto 09 Jan 2011.
Don't bother if it falls back from your initial visa date.The rule is from 09 Jan 2011 you should not have 180 Days absence .
Refer to below extract from current guidance
==========================================================================
No more than 180 whole days absence are allowed in any of the five, four, three or two
consecutive 12 month periods, depending on the category, preceding the date of the
application for indefinite leave to remain (ILR).
The specified continuous period is counted backwards from the date of the ILR application.
For example, if the date of application is 11 November 2012, the consecutive periods would
be as follows:
Year 1 11 November 2012 to 12 November 2011
Year 2 11 November 2011 to 12 November 2010
Year 3 11 November 2010 to 12 November 2009
Year 4 11 November 2009 to 12 November 2008
Year 5 11 November 2008 to 12 November 2007
==============================================================================
I will give you my example
Visa Issue Date 09 Dec 2009
UK Entry Date :- 23 Feb 2010
Visa Expiry :- 02 Feb 2015
ILR Application Date :-12 Nov 2014
Continious Period start date 11 Nov 2009
My absence from UK starts from 11 Nov 2009 to 23 Feb 2010 which is less than 180 days
So you are fine if you have not taken more than 180 days off according to guidance
Hope it helps BUT go through guidance for your satisfaction
