Hi,
I would like to share my experience as it might be useful to others. I applied for ILR(LR) using the standard service (posting my documents). While it was/is still under process, I got a very good job offer. I was happy to withdraw my application, get my documents, pay £3000 and apply in person in order to secure my offer. However, my new employer asked me to wait while they contact HO and run the ESC :
Q69 How do I comply with the right to work checks if the person I want to employ has made an immigration application, or has appealed against or requested an administrative review of a Home Office decision and their documents are with the Home Office? A. In these circumstances, to demonstrate a statutory excuse against a liability for a civil penalty, you can obtain a Positive Verification Notice from the Employer Checking Service confirming the person’s right to work. This will last for six months from the date of the Notice. In respect of prospective employees, the Positive Verification Notice must be obtained before employment commences. Do not simply take your employee’s word for it." ( https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... _final.pdf )
So my ESC was successful and my employer (a very big firm) has offered my a job and i am about to start in few days, while i am still awaiting for the result of my ILR
Hope that helps,
