Dear All,

I am on Tier 2 General Visa since 17th July, 2014. I was out of UK for 55 Days (37 Weekdays, 16 Weekends, 2 Bank Holidays). I will be eligible for ILR in july, 2019.

1) As I was out of country for 37 Weekdays (Exceeding 30 Days), Does that break the continuous leave? Please note, I worked from home for 3 weeks i.e. 15 Weekdays during that time.
No rules about 30 days

2) I am on a Work from home contract with my employer. My employer is ready to write in the letter of Absence that I was out of country for 37 weekdays but i was on Annual Leave for 22 Days and work from Home (outside UK) for 15 Days. would that be sufficient?
Maybe not "work from home outside UK for 15 days" but "business trip outside the UK for 15 days"?

3) I was on Paid leave throughout the 5 Year. So should I request HR to Highlight this in the letter?
if you receive paid leave when you are outside of the UK, then probably yes

Appreciate your response on this one. Would be great to hear from someone who has experienced the same? Thanks...
