Hello All,
I am on Tier 1 General visa and my wife and kid planing to visit home country for more than 5 months and I would like to know if it is going to cause any problem in getting ILR which is due in 2 years.

for ILR your dependent has to live with you in the UK for a period of 2 years , which does not have to be continuos. So as long they meet this criteria along with the other relevant immigration rules, they should be fine.
However, on a general note, UKBA has been changing a lot of policies and rules. The applicable rule would only be known best at the time of ILR application.
But for right now the rule of a total 2 years stay in the UK for a dependent, stands

Regarding dependants stay in UK for 2 years, do we need to provide any documentary evidence of stay while applying for ILR ?
