Returning Resident Visa

Please could some expert provide view on below situation for applying returning resident visa:

I have lived and work in UK since October 2004 continuously. I work for a multinational company that has offices in UK & India. In September 2013, I came to work in same company office based in India for official work.

In July 2014, my mother who lives in India got ill and had serious health issue. As my father is no more and I am the only support for my mother except for my sister who is married and had commitment for her own family during this time. I did not have any other choice but continue stay in India to support my mother medical treatment. As doctor told me that it will take time for my mother to recover fully, Due to ill health of my mother, I did not had choice but to stay in India, I took intra company transfer from UK to India in July 2014 and currently working for same company in India.

After going through treatment for more than 13 months, now health of my mother has improved, but it had been little more than 2 year outside UK since September 2013 when I came to India for company work.

Now, I want to go back to UK through intra company transfer. Company have offered me job in UK

Due to these exceptional circumstances, what are chances for getting returning resident visa?

With respect, your situation bears no relationship to the subject matter in their thread. Please post this under your own heading in a separate thread.

Post split from where originally posted.

You've actually been employed outside the UK for 18 months or so? Can't see that will ever be over looked, as you aren't employed at all in the UK. It will re-set the clock when you return.

The exception might be if you accrued 10 years' lawful residence before you left when your mother became ill, so you had already got to 10 years before the break.

Do you have ILR?

Yes, I have my ILR card with me.
Please could you provide your view the above situation, wither ill health of my mother be a consideration or they will simply reject the application for returning resident.

SET9.5 Exception to the two year rule for those who have strong ties to the UK.
