Hi
Thanks in advance for reading my query and any replies will be much appreciated.
I am trying to apply for ILR but I am not very sure if I satisfy the criteria for the ILR. I am seeking advise on whether or not to proceed with ILR processing.
I am on WP (tier 2) with active status. I have entered UK and working on WP since 24-July-2005. Following are the dates and duration for which I was away from UK and wrking in India. During this period I was not paid in UK but part of same employer (WP sponsored) and working for same customer in UK.
Trip-1: Starting Date: 24-July-2005 End Date: 19-Sep-2006 (15 months) in UK
I was working in INDIA from 20-Sep-2006 until 31-Mar-2007 (6 months). Not paid in UK but with active WP.
Trip-2: Starting Date: 01-Apr-2009 End Date: 08-feb-2009 (22 months) in UK
I was working in INDIA from 09-Feb-2009 until 07-Oct-2009 (8 months). Not paid in UK but with active WP.
Trip-3: Starting Date: 08-Oct-2009 End Date: Current Date (24 months) in UK.
In total I have spent 5 years in UK but not continuously and the overall elapse time was 6 years.
I am not very sure whether I am eligible to apply for ILR (Settlement) and after going through various forums and rules online, I am more confused.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Cheers.

Since you have spent over 90 days outside UK on 2 occassions and not paid in UK its would be very difficult to get ILR. Were you employed by the same UK company when you were in India or a different company. I am not sure how could your employer support your case if it is one employer, my advice would be to consult a good immigration lawyer.

Thanks for quick response. I am working for a UK company through an Indian Company. When I was in India was working for same UK company but not paid in UK since my employment is actually withan Indian Company.
I would like try immigration lawyer to see if I can process my case? Any reference?
