Hi all — posting as a new topic so as to respect the sticky on biometrics and timeline. I am applying for ILR Set O. My biometrics appointment is next Friday. I am hoping (knock on wood and fingers crossed) the turnaround times for mu decision is within the average 1-4/5 working days that people have had in the timeline thread. The question is, once you have the approval letter are you then in the clear to leave your T2 sponsor employer? There is a chance that a round of redundancies is coming at some point in mid/late September. This shouldn’t really be a problem for me long term as I’ve already found and accepted an offer for a much more stable job (public sector). But the point is I’ll be cutting it very close in terms of receiving my ILR before these expected redundancies come.
The other point is that I ideally serve my notice to leave my current employer as soon as possible. So the question is, once I receive the approval letter am I I safe from any redundancy fallout or is it the point which I physically receive the BRP card? I know we’re talking a matter of days here but the situation is very tenuous so each day really counts. And separately is it okay if I serve quit as soon as I have the approval letter or should I wait until I receive the physical BRP card?
Thank you very much for your help in advance. Knocking wood and crossing fingers for everyone else on this forum, this is certainly one of the most stressful events of my life and hope to never have to go through anything like this again.
