Hi You were all correct. I went for PEO in liverpool and they refused my application of the 60 days rule. Even though they accept that the certificate of sponsorship was issued within 60 days, the application for further leave was not made within 60 days. The only reason I didn't go for postal appli...

Just came across this http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=554843&sid=c021a91eab4638d19f6e78a74147b6e8 This was exactly my situation and this was exactly what I was told by quoting the old tier 2 guidance (which has changed now) that i won't be illegal and I would be ok to find anoth...

This is my situation really. Work permit 17/03/2008 - to 17/03/2012 Lost job 09/Dec/2011 - As less than 6 months remaining on visa, didn't leave country and looked for jobs Tier 2 Visa granted 08/03/2012 - 08/03/2015 Does above made me eligible for ILR in mid march 2013? Or does this gap in employme...

thanks for your reply.

Thanks a lot for your help guys. Specially to the guru. I think the only option would be to split and try to make them understand that I could have applied within 60 days as I got cos but did not because it was taking 6 to 8 weeks in postal application hence spending more money and making a PEO appo...

Thanks a lot for this information.

Where it says that 28 days overstaying may be allowed .....I think it means that it means 60 days plus 28 days. If this is the case then from 09 December to 08 march break in employment should not be an issue........ is it?

Hi
Could you please give me a link to the thing where it states that doing the above would reset the period and you'll have to do 5 years again.

Thanks

Thanks.
I hope there is some kind of compassionate understanding from UKBA if I decide to apply still considering a job and a house here with family.

Thanks for the replies. I just want to clear one thing that I wasn't an over stayer as I confirmed this from UKBA helpline. They said that according to tier 2 guidance if employment ends and current visa remaining is less than 6 months (which was true in my case) then I'm allowed to stay until that ...

Hi
So in essence the worst scenario is that I would have to wait another 3 months before making an application. Do you guys agree to that?

Hi Thanks for the replies. Sorry for typo it was 2012 not 2013. As I mentioned before I got certificate of sponsorship on 10feb 2012 but didn't apply by post because at that time processing was taking around 6 weeks hence I opted PEO. So why am I getting penalised for it. Having said this how does U...

I was also naive in thinking that these only apply if you leave the UK?

Thanks for your reply 09 dec 2011 - date made redundant 20-dec-2011 - New job Contract offered 10-Feb-2013 - Certificate of Sponsorship issued 08-March-2013 - Tier 2 general leave to remain issued I was hoping that since I was not illegal in staying after my employment ended until the date it got sw...

Hi Thanks for this wonderful community! I have a simple question. I was given a work permit in April 2008 and got made redundant in Dec 2011. My new Tier 2 was issued on 08 March 2012 even though the contract was offered on 20 Dec 2011. Question: According to below: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk...
