Where is this mentioned and if there is any source?dk2011 wrote:There is no such requirement to be in Job for all five years for Tier 1 general applicants.
Ok This looks like generic reply. Also states that seek OISC qualify specialist for any advice.Economically being active in the UK is a proof, so may be P60 for first year as evidence or tax paid in the UK while being employed .
I have a similar case of being unemployed for 5 months in the first half of the qualifying year, but I came to the UK within the first 90 days and returned back to home country after 15 days and came back after 59 days and remained in the country and got a job offer from Dec 2010. So my tax period for first year is only for 3 months till 5th April 2011.rahul656 wrote:There is no requirement to be employed during 5 year qualifying period for ILR but if you are un employed and go out of uk for couple of months means you are not financially active anf not even trying to do so. In this scenario it could be a problem. I am also in the same situation and not able to make my mind to go for extension or direct ILR. During my first year i spent 4 months outside uk when unemployed.
my situation is similar but little different, i arrived in UK within 90 days and after 1 stay month left for business trip for 4 months, although i was employed by the UK company i was not paying tax in UK as it took some time for the employer to start processing the UK base location, but i have obtained letter from them mentioning my trips are genuine as business trips, the only concern is i am not being paid in UK for that period. I am going to apply for ILR next month.argus7 wrote:I have a similar case of being unemployed for 5 months in the first half of the qualifying year, but I came to the UK within the first 90 days and returned back to home country after 15 days and came back after 59 days and remained in the country and got a job offer from Dec 2010.

Visa period started 15th July 2010 came to UK 13th August left back on 30th Aug and came to UK in Oct 28th 2010 and here since then, current LTR ends 15 July 2015. Sounds a very simple case v v less absences of less than 180 days in the whole 5 yr period so far.
I am confused with this situation, but mentally prepared to pay extra money and go for another extension in March or beginning of April 2015 and get visa from April 2015 to April 2018 and then decide for ILR anytime after 5-6 months that will give me proof all all 5 yrs as economically active. But in this period anything can happen. I am also seeking immigration advice, and would recommend others as well. its a question of Life here and future decisions.
Good luck to everyone in similar cases. Happy to help and encourage anybody that needs help.
Thanks,
