I am not exactly sure but I think border officials can still take away your ILR if they see you have been previously absent from UK for more than 2 years and I suggest you open a new thread and see what senior members think.Thanks for reminding about ILR, I am aware of this rule. It happened just once, won't do it again without getting citizenship

If I don't have to own property then what do we mean by most of estate in UK? Does it mean bank balance? what should I show as my estate in UK?
I have 44 days absence in last 1 year so I meed this criteria.
Yes, I live in rented property under my name.

I meet all other criteria, it's just that last 5 year absences are too high. And that's what stopping me from applying straightaway.
I can wait for some time but my concern is even if I wait for 2 more years, then number of absences will still be high. I left on 15/06/2011 on long absence and came back on 22/01/2013. So either I apply before 14/06/2016 (as you have to physically here 5 years back when you put your application), even then also my absences will be high (they are 630 now and would be some more in next 2 years). OR I wait for 3 years and apply after 22/01/2018 (5 years after I came back again on 22/01/2013) then my absences will definitely be less than 450.
I won't be able to apply between 15/06/2016 and 21/01/2018 as I wasn't here in UK 5 years back from the application date.
My current last 5 years absences are 673 (From Jun 2009 to June 2014). So it won't help me much if I apply after 2 year in 2016 as amount of absences will be pretty much same.
The best case scenario for me would be to wait for another 3.5 years and apply in Jan 2018. I will hopefully meet all the criterias then but you never know what might happen in future.
What would you suggest me to do now? Do you agree with my point of view?
Thanks for your help.
