1) End of the gardening leave as you're still being paid up until then.psychecat wrote:Hello there,
I have a question regarding employment gap for applying ILR.
I had been on WP since 3/07 but was unfortunately made redundant on the 23/06/09. Since then I was on garden leave till 23/08/09 (still get paid for the two months and technically "employed" by the company).
I switched to Tier 1 general visa on the 12/08/09. So there is not gap
on my visa.
I now get a job offer but the starting date is going to be 03/11/09.
I now have two concerns:
1) How to calculate employment gap? Is it from my date of redundancy (23/06/09) or the end date of my garden leave (23/08/09)?
2) What's the maximum employment gap allowed for ILR application, if allowed at all?
Appreciate your help !
First of all there is no GAP in VISA which is good . ILR main requirement is continous visa .. for tier 1 it doesnt mean u can be employed always. if you work as contractor u can have gaps in your employment. All they need that you are econmically active. for WP if you are made redundant then your employment is over and visa also.psychecat wrote:Hello there,
