陪工签证签发日期是3/4/2014，于18/7/2014入境英国，中间于2016年6月无gap续签一次至26/5/2019。请教各位，是应该再续签一次陪工签还是可以直接申请永居呢？
在gov找到这样一段话：
Period between the issue of entry clearance and entering the UK
The period between entry clearance being issued and the applicant entering the UK may be counted toward the qualifying period. Any absences between the date of issue and entry to the UK are considered an allowable absence. This period will count towards the 180 days allowable absence in the relevant 12 month period. The applicant does not need to provide evidence to demonstrate the reason for delayed entry.
If the delay is more than 180 days, you can only include time after the applicant entered the UK in the continuous period calculation.

我理解是3/4/2014签发日期到18/7/2014入境日期这一段时间可以计入到任意12个月出境英国的180天里。所以意思是，即使我入境英国不满5年，仍可以26/5/2019前申请永居而不用再续签一次陪工签。
不知我的理解正确与否？
