ILR - Skilled Worker route

[satku]

Hi all,

It is related to My ILR application, and I appreciate your advice on the below queries.
My situation:
1) I was granted Tier 2 general visa on 02/08/2017 through Company X.
2) Entered the UK on 17/08/2017 (BRP validity: 15/07/2020)
3) During my first employment with the employer (X), I don't think taxes were paid for the first year (2017 - 2018). During the second year (2018 -2019), I had un-paid leaves of more than four months (not in continuation) as my daughter underwent major heart surgery, and I was still in the UK. I also spent 18 working days out of the UK during this period.
4) Switched to a new employer (Y) (BRP validity: 14/04/2022)
5) Extended visa as a Skilled worker (BRP validity: 14/04/2024)
6) I think I meet all the other requirements for ILR under the 5-year continuous residence route.
o Salary is higher than minimum wage.
o Passed Life in the UK test
o Have a NARIC certificate
Questions:
1) Regarding 3, does this impact my ILR application - continuity requirement? Do I need to worry about taxes? Do I need to worry about any unpaid leaves that my employer may have declared to the HMRC?
2) Do I have to explain the 18 working days spent outside the UK if my employer (X) doesn't give me the paid absence letter (as they are not responding to my requests).
3) When am I eligible to apply for ILR?

Thanks in advance,
Satku

Hi CR001,

My Apologies! Yes, I agree that I have created a new account. The reason behind this is that I struggled to figure out to post a new query though I posted a few earlier. I was searching for information around ILR and trying to create a new post but in vain. So I had to create a new ID yesterday and explore to create a new post. I will discontinue the Old ID and continue this.
It looks crazy, but it is the truth.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Really, a bit hard to believe. You logged in this morning with the other username and have posted new topic/queries just find previously.

Please confirm which username do you wish to deactivate?

[satku]

Please deactivate this account. I will post using the old one.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Thank You!
