Hi,
I applied for Tier 1 (General) application while working in USA and got it approved...Following are the details
First Entry Clearance Date : 01-Feb-2009 Approved Until 01-Feb-2012
T1 Extension approved and Valid Until 10-Feb-2014
I entered UK on 19-April-2009 (69 Days later than clearance date)
Was out of country on holiday break for 40 days in 5 years.
While reading through the rules and some of the experience of other guys, I found the link while suggest that I am eligible despite the fact that I entered 69 days late.

Following are my queries
1. Am I eligible for ILR even when I was not present in UK for 5 years completely (physically)
2. The section from PDF is confusing (copied below). I was working until 04-Apr-2009 in USA before landing in UK on 19-Apr-2009. Does that mean I am not eligible (with reference to confusing section)
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 considered broken.
Your help is highly appreciated..
