Have submitted ILR (HSMP-JR) after completing 4 years 8 months in UK. Going by many posts on here, I will be turned down as one non-work absence was 100 continuous days and apparently the (barely published *"guidelines"*) say that more than 90 days is a virtually automatic ILR rejection.
I don't mind going back to my own country, but my employer is anxious to keep me and sounds like they will certainly make it worth my while to stay.
As I understand it, if an ILR rejection comes through AFTER my HSMP expiry (late July 2010) then I would instantly become an illegal worker (this sounds almost impossible to believe in a civilised country, but there you go). Once that happens future applications , I presume, are difficult/impossible.
I would qualify for Tier 1 no problems.
Would the best tactic therefore be to wait until July and if I have heard nothing about ILR withdraw that application and send in an "in time" Tier 1 application?
Thanks for any advice.
