Tier 1 to ILR absence Query

[Soul&Karma]

Hi All,

This is for my wife. She is in Tier 1 General visa.

My query:

Is the delayed entry ( visa issued to the date of Entry to Uk in my wife's case it is 75 days) classed as absence for that year or the absence starts after arriving to UK?

visa issued - 21-Jul-2008 Initial entry - 05-Oct-2008 ( Gap 75 Days from visa issual date )

The following is the list of absences for the past years.

Year 5- 21-Jul-08 to 20-Jul-09 - 71 (Days outside UK)

Year 4- 21-Jul-09 to 20-Jul-10 - 61 (Days outside UK)

Year 3- 21-Jul-10 to 20-Jul-11 - 83 (Days outside UK)

Year 2- 21-Jul-11 to 20-Jul-12 - 20 (Days outside UK)

Year 1- 21-Jul-12 to 20-Jul-13 - 18 (Days outside UK)

Total 253 Days

Can someone please if she is qualified for ILR. Planning to apply around 31/07/2013.

Thanks for all your help.
