I am planning to teach English outside the UK for 3 moths, would this affect my ILR status?
What is the legal time limit allowed by UK home office for work abroad before it becomes a problem?

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

I knew one is allowed to leave the country for 2 years but also work away from UK in that time?

You are not bound to remain or work in the UK.

Please DO NOT send me a PM for immigration advice. I reserve the right to ignore the PM and not respond.
