Hi,
Need a help to understand my continuous residence status.
I first arrived UK on 29/10/2017 under Tier 2 general with 3 years of validity.
I left UK (filled P85 - Leaving the UK) on 19/04/2019 and returned back on 06/05/2019 on the same tier 2 general visa with valid leave for the same sponsor.
My tier 2 visa extended by the same sponsor for 3 more years valid upto 26/10/2023.

My query is ;

1. Is my continuous residence broken as I left UK filing P85 though its 2 weeks of gap/ less than 180 days ?
2.Am I eligible to apply ILR by 01/10/2022 ?

Seeking your advice and feedback !

Thank you so much !

Probably no effect. But why did you fill the P85 form?

Thanks for the feedback vinny !

As I planned to leave UK for a long term, I filled it but due to circumstances changes I returned back.

Could you please comment if I can apply by Oct 2022 ?
Will the break affect the continuous residence period ?
Please share your thoughts !

I assume you left with a valid visa and returned back. There is no break

Yes Zimba, returned with valid visa.

Thank you so much for the feedback !
