Thank you for your e-mail.
You must submit your FLR(IED) application within 6 months of the date of
the
work permit approval letter, but before your current visa expires. This
means that you can travel & return to the UK, then submit your application.
If you submit it now, it will not be dealt with in time for you to travel
Hope this helps
Regards

My wife had a similar problem- she had switched jobs, had to go home before her new work permit was approved because her dad was seriously ill. She was physically away for 3 months. Her new work permit was approved within 2 weeks of her leaving the country. However, when she applied for ILR, her application was refused because she had a break in employed status.try-one wrote:Question 1:
Question 2:
If I have a break of three to four weeks in my work permit employment , will my ILR clock reset to zero? I have already spent three years in UK on a WP and I do not want to lose my stay in UK due to switching of employment? The guidance is that " you should show strong ties with the UK", if you are still living here, then you have the ties, now, be very carefull not to overstay. The day your contract ends you have no more WP and the EC is not valid anymore, regardless of the sticker on the passport, it is not valid anymore and you have 28 days to "vacate the premises", keep that in mind to avoid affecting your chances to get the ILR.
