PS: My case wasn't straight forward case as on 2010 my visa was refused and I lost all the appeal from court by oct 2010. But I carried on my work till January and left the country on January 2011.
Came back to U.K. after 4 months with entry clearance.
Check my thread on ILR section.
So happy Alhamdulliah.
