I am presently on tier 2. I was already working for same employer when I applied tier 2. They originally issue me a certificate of sponsorship starting from 01st Feb 2014 but I applied on 02nd Dec 2013 and received my tier 2 on the same day.
1. Does it mean I am eligible to apply for ILR on 02 Dec 2018 (-28 days, which is 05 Nov 2018)?
My second question is related to my absence from the UK, I went to my home country and stayed there for about 42 days but during these 42 days, I also worked from my company's office in my home country for 2 weeks.
2. Shall I mention these 42 days as my annual leave or work trip or both?
My third question is related to my date of application. I have heard from my friends who recently been though ILR process that there is a long wait for premium appointment. If I submit my application this week and book an appointment anytime after 05 Nov 2018. What will be my actual date of application? Is it going to be my premium appointment date or date of online application submission?
Thanks in advance
