Checking Travel History and ILR Eligibility

Queries:
1. I traveled to the UK twice as a tourist in Aug 2018 and May 2019, and later moved to the UK as a dependent on June 2019. Under which section should I provide these travel details in my application?
Also do I need to show this as an Entry/Exit to UK
2. Regarding my eligibility:
* My Tier 2 visa application date is 18 November 2020, and the decision was made on 24 December 2020. The same dates are shown on my Biometric Residence Permit (BRP).
* According to the COVID concession in the caseworker guidance, eligibility applies to those who applied between 24 January 2020 and 30 June 2021.
Since my application and approval both occurred before this period, am I still eligible to apply for ILR on 21 October 2025? Please correct me if I am mistaken.

You ONLY need to enter the absences during your 5 year qualifying period for ILR. What happened before that is irrelevant.
And yes, you will become eligible for ILR this month as per the COVID concession

Thanks you so much for the quick response.

Can I please request for a clarification on SOC code?
My first COS got issued in 2020 for 3 years has SOC code 2136 (Programmers and software development professionals).
In 2023 we got extension CoS having SOC code as 2126, Now I am looking for two clarifications
1) Which SOC code should go in my application?
2) In the current shortage occupation list I can see 2126 as Aerospace Engineer and 2136 as IT quality and testing professionals, then using 2126 will be appropriate as I am a IT Professional?

You should not use the old SOC that were assigned as per 2010 codes. The Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes assigned to each role have been simply updated from the 2010 codes to the 2020 codes, so your old SOC and the new 2020 SOC should effectively refer to the same role/title. You should use the equivalent 2020 SOC to determine your salary requirement for ILR. Enter your job title on the CASCOT occupation coding tool to find out the correct SOC 2020.

It seems the correct SOC code for you should be 2134 now
