Hi
I have read few posts and found them quite helpful. Many thanx to the experienced suggestions.
I am switching visa to skilled worker, 1st permission is for 3 years from 2nd sep 2021 to 2nd sep 2024.
Now my Cos dates I have requested the employer to decide for 2 years in a way that I be eligible for ILR after 2 years and for new skilled visa I don't have to pay more than 2 years nhs charges.
For ILR I complete 5 years on 2nd sep 2026.but I become eligible on 4th of August 2026 considering 28days earlier than 60 months.Can the cos works dates be from 20th August 2024 to 19th August 2026.or do the visa end date should be complete 5 years.(I have read in case worker guidance that end of permission granted should be 14 days after the end work date on Cos, this can cover complete 5 years but I need suggestions safe side)
Is it OK for home office that I have 2 years cos dates instead of 2.5 or 3 years or it creates doubt that skilled worker visa is being applied to complete another 2 years just to reach ILR.
Main point is just to save IHS charges as I have 4 dependents too. But I want to be safe side too.. If it gives any doubt or I don't qualify for ILR I will request my employer to extend the dates.
If I apply for 3 months let's say on 20th May before my work start date (20August) as per rule u have to start work no later than 28 days of cos dates or permission granted, what if I apply priority service and get permission within a week but my work start date is still far than 28 days.
Will I have to start work earlier?
