Congratulations on your ILR. You have given quite useful information and document list.
My question is
Is there any gap between changing in employment? i.e. when your contract with 1st employer fininshed and contract with next employer started or they are overlapping?
Your answer will be quite helpful to me.
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks
Hi ouflak1,
Many congratulations on getting your ILR. I am about to apply for my ILR in March on the basis of 5 yr WP and I've got a similar concern like the one mentioned above.
I left my first job on 31st Dec 2006 and fortunately I had another job offer in hand and my new WP was actually applied 2 weeks before I left my first job. The WP was approved on 10th Jan but I never received the approval from the home office (probably lost in the post). My consultant had to request a reprint and as you might be aware the reprint usually bears the date it is printed on, hence the approval letter is dated 25th Jan. I started working for my new employer from 1st Feb. Do you reckon I'd be fine as far as the gap in WP employment is concerned. Is it a gap at all?
I would really appreciate advise from you
Thanks a lot in advance.
Vin
Assuming 26th of January 2007, then according to that visa type, you have 28 days to find another job. You also have a grace period while an application is in process. You can start working the day you receive that approval. Even with that date of the 25th of the January, that is still within that period of 28 days. There is no gap here from the information that you have given. Good luck.
