Many thanks for your reply Cyclina. Please can you check below questions as well and give your feedback.

1. The normal annual leaves which I have taken is also counted under 180 days of absence? I thought annual leaves are not considered as absences.
2. For the period 22-Jul-18 to 19-Aug-18 was a Work related and if my employer provides the letter here can this absence be skipped.
3. I can count from 14 Apr 2014 but I need ILR at the earliest hence need to find the earliest date I could go for it. If I do add up days I can go early with following days a) 180+ b) 28 (any date up to 28 days after the date of application) + c) 28 days of work related. Is this possible?

Thanks for your help on this.

1. All absences count for the 180 days limit.

3. You cannot apply 180 days early and use it as 'allowed absence in the future'. You can apply within 28 days before you become eligible.

Hi,

3. I am not aiming to show 'allowed absences in the future', but since I had a valid Tier 1 visa in Dec 2013 as well. I could go back wards from Dec 2018 and count all absences under 180 days.

For example,
Dec 2013 - Dec 2018 and in this 5 years all my absences are 235 = 180 days of allowed absences + 28 days (any date up to 28 days after the date of application) + 27 days of work related

2. For point number 2, can you pls check.

Is this possible?
Thanks...
