Went on company work on August 2010 (44 days) (For company work to train offshort people, have compnays letter) Paid leave, was paying bills and apt rent.
Went on personal visit on jan 2012 (88 days)
Dad was not well and so had to go there as I am the only son and my presence was required
I have pay slips ( but through my limited compnay to show that I have been drawing salary)
Went paid vacation in August 2012 (11 days)
Planning to go for marriage in Nov (17 days)

My total days is 254 days outside UK in which only one leave 88 days is for a personal visit. I can still show salary drawn through my limited compnay.

Could you please advice whats the best apprach for me to apply for ILR. I had to take that one big leave because of my dad;s health. Is there any medical certificate that I need to provide for this?

Regards,

i think you will be fine as you donot have any absence more than 90 days. 180 days is still breached but then you have reasons to exclude your business visits i.e., 44 days.

Well prepared application pack is recommended!

Thanks a lot "UkSettlement" your answer helps.
Even if I remove the work period of 44 days I am still around 210 days outside UK that still breaches the 180 days.
Could you please recommend what letters I need to show in case of my dad's health problems to make the case stronger.

Thanks a lot for taking time to answer my query.

Much appreciated.

Thanks a lot for responding. My mum was there, but my presence is also required as both of them are aged. 61 yrs and 72 yrs.
Do I need any letter from the doctor? Do we have any specific format for this ? Could you please provide me some pointers?

Much appreciated

To be honest you should be fine as you don't have more than 90 days absence. Try and see if any of the other vistas could be termed as official work trips?
