As we all know this is an unending process so I need your help with another query. My HR today asked me about the extension. Basically I work for a small company so I usually find stuff for my HR and also make sure I keep on top of it.
I have 3 questions please :
-What documents I will need at the end of 3 years to get an extension ? Is it the payslips for all the 3 years ?
you will need a new CoS
- What is the duration of extension (2 or 3 ? ) and is there a cooling off period before I get an extension ?
if this was your first T2G leave then under current rules the extension can be 3 years or the period of engagement if that is shorter. Cooling-off is only for to entry clearance applications, not for extensions
- If I meet all the criteria's, is getting an ILR a possibility ?
yes, after 5 years on T2G (under current rules)
Many thanks.
the leave period starts on the start date given in the CoS and the end date of your leave should have been 3 years + 14 days from that date (provided your sponsor asked for 3 years), You will be eligible for ILR after 5 years on T2Gratapita wrote: I know when i first switched to Tier 2 (General) my CoS was issued in April 2011, but the date of issue on BRP is May 2011, and there is no other clarification on the letter as to when the grant of leave starts from. I know they should have given me 3 yrs+ 1 month, as my CoS was for 3 years, but for some reason this 1 month seem to have been overlooked, and my visa expires in April 2014. Though I was not too fussy about this at the time ( what with the euphoria of having got the visa ) I am now getting a bit worried, that the UKBA might make the same sort of mistake again and leave me short of 6 years when granting the extension!!!
the rules in force at the time of the ILR application.drdevil86 wrote:Thanks, just a bit confused with 'current rules' thing. As per the current rules I dont see any minimum salary requirements for ILR. However, after 2016 it will 35k per annum for ILR. Since, I came under Tier 2 general before 2016, what rules will be applied on me for ILR ?
