Guide SET(O) as of 16March 2012

[rk_confused]

I was contemplating to submit my ILR application when I stumbled across this strange new requirement [11c] in SET(O).

I am currently on Tier1 and was umemployed for 6months within 5 year period. After being unemployed for 6 months I have been self-employed (contracting) for a year but does this clause mean that I am no longer eligible to apply of ILR?

Thankyou & Regards

Note Clause [11c] of SET(O) states:

Employment not requiring a work permit If you are applying for indefinite leave to remain on completing 5 years’ continuous stay in the UK in one of the employment not requiring a work permit categories listed below, in addition to the relevant documents in 11A, you must provide the following:

- Recent document(s) from your current authorised employer confirming that you are still needed for the same work and that your employment with them is continuing.

- Document(s) from your authorised employer(s) over the past 5 years confirming that you have been employed continuously in this work throughout that period.

This clause is more for Tier 2 Migrants. This is not for you, if you are on Tier 1 G. So need not to worry about it.

That's interesting!
I always believed that 'employment that does not require work permit' is usually Tier 1/HSMP.

Clause 11L to be filled by Tier 1 migrants.

This clause is more for people like Ministers of Religion, Overseas Newpaper employees, Airline Ground Staff etc. It has nothing to do with Tier 1
