Hi,
I am as really in a confussion. Please answer me if you can and it is greatly appreciated.
1. I am currently on maternity leave and i came out of uk on 26 april 2022. Now this week my absence will reach 180 days, but due to some reasons i couldnt travel back. Is this will affect my ILR? I will be eligible in 2023 november.
2. When i leave UK i emptied my rental house due to financial reasons. And i dont have a rental or other address proof in uk for these 180 days . Will that affect my ILR?
Please reply to my quiries . Thankyou in advance

Useful to state what your visa category is as different visas have different rules.

Tier 2 route does not exist. Spending more than 180 days outside the UK breaks your continuous residence required for ILR. Unless the reasons are quite exceptional and very compelling, you will not be able to get ILR

You cannot have more than 180 days absence in any 12 month rolling period. So no, doing this won't work and staying for 20 days doesn't reset the absence counter.

There is no proof of address requirement

UKVI will decide if a situation is compelling or exceptional. Maternity or giving birth is not a justification for being away from the UK for 6 months on its own.
