I have few questions around when should I apply for my ILR, Continuous leave, and absences.
My Initial Tier 2 General visa was granted on 3rd October 2013 and I entered in UK on 18th February 2014. Since then I've worked with two employers. The 2nd Tier 2 General visa was granted on 14th May 2014 and 3rd (current) visa was issued on 14th March 2016 which is valid till 16th October 2019. So what exactly is eligible date for my ILR application i.e. 3rd October 2018 or 18th February 2019?
Tier 2 General Visas:
- Granted on 03/10/2013. Entry on 18/02/2014.
- Granted on 14/05/2014.
- Granted on 14/03/2016 valid until 16/10/2019.
- 2014: 8
- 2015: 51
- 2016: 49. Maybe worth mentioning between switching jobs I had delayed my joining date with Employer C by 20 days and was out of country for 18 days. For the whole time I had a valid Tier 2 General visa issued for Employer C.
- 2017: 42
- 2018: 32 (so far). 30 more planned.
Thanks.
