Please help as I am confused about 180 days absence calculation considering future ILR application.
How does ILR 180 days calculation work ?
Was out from UK continuously for 137 days this year from 5th July 2020 to 18th November 2020, first ever entry in UK was on 1st October 2018.
I didn't had any other leave in 2020 , last time I was out from UK in October 2019 for 20 days.

I have my wedding planned in April 2021, For how long can I go out from UK next year without creating problems in my future ILR application ?

Thanks

What is your visa category?

I am on general Tier 2 Visa issued on 09-September-2018 and I entered UK first time on 1st October 2018.

You should not be outside UK for more than 180 days on rolling basis i.e. ANY 12 months. Calculate accordingly.

"rolling basis i.e. ANY 12 months" that part I doesn't understand does calculation start from visa received date or a exit from UK .

It is any period of 12 months at any time.

For example:

1/1/2019 - 31/12/2019 (no more than 180 days)
2/1/2019 - 1/1/2020 (same as above)
3/1/2019 - 2/1/2020 (same as above)
etc

and so on.
