Hi,
I am here on Tier 2 skilled work visa. By December mid/end 2023, I got news that my company is going under due to management issues and that we are all getting terminated and I got issued a P45 for the taxes paid till Nov 2023 for this year. I haven't received the curtailment letter from Home office till now.
I am trying for sponsored jobs at the moment. Please let me know that if I find a sponsored job and resume my work, Will these 4-5 months of not paying taxes and not being on a job affect my ILR at the end of 5 years?

ILR has nothing to do with this. You may have gaps in your employment

Your visa is valid in the UK unless it is curtailed. ILR is based on visa validity and NOT continuous employment

HI,
I came to UK in 3yrs tier 2 skilled worker visa. My employer had to close his company due to losses and lost his sponsor license as well. Because of this, I lost my employment and my visa and received curtailment letter from home office giving me 2 months time to move back to my home country from UK.
Initially i has applied for 3yrs visa and had paid for 3yrs of IHS.
Now that I am going back in 2yrs, is it possible to get my IHS for the remaining 1yr refunded?
If so, how can I get it? Where should I apply for this? Can someone please guide me on this?
Thanks a tonne

No refund unfortunately.
https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigrati ... on/refunds
You will not get a refund if:
your visa application is successful but you do not come to the UK
you leave the UK before your visa ends, for example to make a new application
you’re told to leave the UK before your visa expires
you’re applying for indefinite leave to remain
received curtailment letter from home office giving me 2 months time to move back to my home country from UK.
That is not the only thing the letter says. It says apply for a visa you qualify for within the 60 days or leave.
You previously posted you were looking for another sponsor? Have you not found one yet?

Hi!
What was your last day of employment, and in how many days after your last day you got the curtailment letter from the home office? Do we get curtailment letter via email or post/letter?

Hi,
I got the curtailment letter from Home office to leave the country dated 10th June. A licensed sponsor ready to provide COS but he doesn't have any allocation at the moment and the priority service is also not helping out(trying out daily). Since days are running, I'm more worried and I would like to find any other alternate solution for applying visa.
Thanks in advance!

Don't rely on that employer only, keep applying for jobs with other licensed sponsors. Not sure what's your occupation but it's completely possible to find something before 10th June.
Out of curiosity, when did you finish your last job? or how long did it take to receive the curtailment letter?

As long as you apply for a new application
before the new visa expiry (as per curtailment), you can stay in the UK

Hi,
Can you please let us know what was the last date of your employment, and on what date did you receive the curtailment letter? Was the curtailment letter in form of an email or a physical letter?

From his message on 11/04/2024 it seems this is the date he received the curtailment letter.
Also he mentioned the letter gives him time till 10 June which is 60 days from 11/04/2024.
In his first message he said he only get the tax letter till end of November so it seems his last day of employment was last of November or maybe somewhere in December. This is what I understood.

Since when have you been trying for priority? And have you been emailing at 9am daily?

Try it at 8:58 to 8:59; based on my HR experience. She did it on the first try in Dec 2023.
