UK absences for ILR (T1G)

Got T1G and want to apply for ILR.
But, been working outside the UK for almost a year now
(also paid in the country where I work)

I've been back to UK every 2~3 months for a week.

Is there any chance of getting ILR providing all the supporting documents?

Thanks

You don't live in UK. You don't work in UK. In all likelihood, your absences in the 5 years qualifying period (far) exceed the 180 days limit.

On what basis do you think you qualify for settlement? Have you maintained a home in UK, i.e. - does your family live here .. while you work abroad?
