Employment terminated 2 weeks before ILR

[sumrani14]

Hi all,

I have been on a Skilled Worker visa since July 2019 and am eligible for ILR from 16 Jun 2024 onwards, however, I have received an employment termination letter from my employer as they have declared insolvent.

Can someone please help me what my options are? Do I have to find another sponsor and then apply for ILR or can directly apply for ILR under special circumstances, please?

Please advise.

Thanks in advance

Do I have to find another sponsor and then apply for ILR

Yes, a new sponsor, new visa and wait at least a month for a payslip before you can apply for ILR.

or can directly apply for ILR under special circumstances, please?

No you cannot apply for ILR if you are not employed and required for the foreseeable future by your sponsor.
