10 Year ILR route

[vicki2001]

Hi

I have been in UK initially on a ICT Short Term and then converted to ICT Long term (with one month break) and have stayed for 6 years. Before completion of my ICT Long term, I moved to Tier 2 General Dependent visa. Due to some unavoidable reason, I had to move outside UK for my work related and was employed in another country. I have moved back to UK within 4 months.

Just wanted to check if I am still eligible for 10 yrs ILR route or my continuous period is broken? I was reading the document as it says as below:

Employment outside of the UK
If the absences are connected to other employment outside the UK, which
demonstrates the UK employment is secondary, these are not permitted absences,
and the continuous period requirement is broken. Absences due to employment,
whether related to the applicant’s job in the UK or not, count towards the 180 day
maximum each year.

Thanks in advance

Which document exactly are you reading?? It is likely the one called Calculating Continuous Residence which is NOT relevant to ilr based on long residence. The rule ls for PBS routes are not the same as for long residence.

You were already advised last year about the absence for long residence.

Hi

Here is the document link

I am just curious that since I have taken a job outside UK and still working and in order to break the 180 days, I have come for a visit, am I still eligible to the 10 yrs ILR?

They document does NOT apply to long residence ilr. It clearly mentions the 5 route visas it applies to.

You should read the correct guidance. Your work is irrelevant.
