During the Period of 2008 - 2009 , i was outside the UK for more than 90 days. I used to visit UK but that was on a Per Dieum Basis and not on Salary. My Original WP expired on 31st Dec 2008 and i moved on to DWP as my spouse was based in the UK. I re-entered UK on WP on 1st Aug 2009 on a ICT - Tier 2 category.

If i consider my stay from 2006, i am due to apply for my ILR in end of July 2011.

Due to my breaks in between and visa change from WP to DWP wanted to check the chances of getting a ILR

Your ILR clock started ticking from 01-Aug-09, the day you entered UK as a Tier 2 (ICT) migrant. Time spent in UK before that cannot be included in the qualifying residential period when applying for settlement as an economic migrant.
