Enter on Tier 2 (general) Feb 2009, visa valid for 3 years.
Feb 2012 - applied for extension, which was granted (another 3 years).
Jul 2014 - left former employer, signed with new employer, made new tier 2 (general) application, received five-year visa (expires Jul 2019).

OP: If i were you, i would apply right now. ask your company to issue u a letter saying that you are a current employee. As they have not made a decision for redundancies, they should be able to give u such a letter.

A company in the same general industry but (much) smaller wants to hire me and is willing to give me a full-term contract that would be well above the pay minimums. The company does not have a sponsor license - they're looking into getting one now, actually - but I'm wondering if I could use the offer of employment at the new company (instead of the employment letter from my current company) to apply for ILR? Obviously I can't actually start working at the new company, but I'd think that having lived here for 7 years, paid a lot of tax over that time, with two kids born and raised here, and a full-time job offer, ILR should be fairly straight-forward, no?
