If this was your goal all along, you really should have done some more research...MPR-USA wrote:Hello experts,
My goal was to have a 5-year visa and then explore a way to obtain ILR or maybe citizenship. (lawyer thought best/easier to obtain a 3-year visa first)
You would have had to obtain a Tier 2 general visa to achieve this. The company would have had to undergo a resident labour market test to prove the role could not be undertaken by an already settled worker.
Do I have to go back to my home country (USA) for the 1 year "cool-off" period or can I go to any other country (Spain or Ireland)?
After this period, do I then qualify to apply for a T2 G (end goal of ILR)? With the same sponsor?
You can serve the 12 month cooling off period anywhere but in the UK (unless you become a dependent, in which case you can serve the 12 month cooling off period as the dependent of, presumably, your spouse).
Is there an exception/loophole (employee rights, asylum, human rights, etc.) that would allow me to stay as the end of the visa means I will be fired/redundant in the USA?
Do you face undo political persecution in the USA/ threat of death that cannot be dealt with by the police?? If not, please do not make a mockery of this!!!! Is this just a joke? Maybe I am just pretty jaded, but as an immigrant you have very few rights!
