ILR - Away from UK for more than a year and gap of 185 days

[vkumarkulkarni]

Dear All,

I was working in UK since Feb-2008 until Jun-2013 in Tier 2(ICT) category, however have a gap of 185 during the said period.
After Jun-2013, I had to return back to India as company didn't allow me to continue my stay. Now its been more than 1 year I am away from UK. Is there any possibility that if I return back to UK this year or in 2015, I can apply for ILR even after having these gaps? Request you to advise and help me.

Thank you in advance.

There is no gap in the visa until 10-Jan-2014. I want to return to UK some time next year, if there are possibilities of getting an ILR for my case. I have tried to attach an excel file as well which has the above given columns.

Cheers,

Not sure about the formatting, tried to past once again.

I am afraid but no. If you will come to UK , you need to have new visa processed . So automatically all your past Visa or permit stampings will get nullified .
One qs.. Why did not you try to get ILR in Feb ,2013 when you already completed 5 yrs in UK ???

@subodh: I was probably misguided saying that my gap is 185 days during the tenure so I may not be eligible for ILR. And also due to some crazy company rules At IBM I had to move back home. However, I later realised that there were few exceptions.
