They have notified me to be made redundant. And the company is doing really good job in giving me plenty of time to be honest. I simply can't fault that. I'm expected to work full time though as my official notice will start from October or so.

I was on short-term and then ICT visa for first 6 years, which is non-settlement visa. Effectively I'm only 1.5 years in settlement visa. So, I can only get PR after 3 years under 10 year scheme or 3.5 years, under settlement visa completion scheme unless duration increased to 8 years.

Coming back is possible, but if there's 90+ days will cause break in constant residency and if I want to settle again, I've to start 5 (8) year settlement once again. And as I'm getting older, this might not be ideal for me.

To be honest, India is great option of software devs and I wouldn't mind going back if I wasn't here for 7 years. But hey, at least Bangalore shares almost the same weather with London, so I've that to look forward to.
