ILR_SET(O) form_queries_pls help

[Neesheel]

Hello,

I have few queries on ILR Set(O) form if anyone can help me with these, would be very useful


1) I am on tier 2 and planning to apply for ILR. My job contract ends in May and I qualify to apply for ILR in Feb. I am wondering, if I can still apply for ILR or will it be not advisable because my job contract runs out soon?

2) Holidays- I have been out of country for 98 days over 5 years period. These are paid holidays and are just a family/personal visits back home.
A) Yr 2009 - 14+26 = 40 days (May 2009 – for 14 days + November 2009 – for 26 days )
B) Aug 2011 - Sep 2011 – 42 days
C) OCt 2012 – 16 days

3) I will be applying for ILR with my wife who is on dependent visa since 5 years now. Does she need to fill separate Set (O) form?

4) Section 7 Question 7.11 (How long have you lived in the UK?)
I was a student before getting the WP/Tier 2 and I am applying for ILR based on 5 yr work. So which date of entry in the UK should I give for the above Question, the one I first entered as a student or the one I got my first WP visa within the UK.

I will appreciate any responses

Thanks

My employer is ready to give me a letter but the employer will mention that my contract will end in May however I will be required until then. Do you think that will be any issue for not considering me for ILR?[/b}

Thanks

That is clearly a problem. You can ask them just to mention that you are still required for the job . Obviously , that doesn't guarantee that he needs to keep you for any longer than actually required. Talk to them and reach a settlement that you will voluntarily leave without any issue and request them to help you with your ILR.
Bear in mind UKBA can verify the details with the company and if they have a different version than what is there in the letter you will be in trouble.

Hello DK2011 and other senior members,

As per below links it seems for tier2, it is not required to have 'foreseeable future' in the employers letter only that you are still needed for the job in question. Any comments on this people.. as my job contract is coming to an end in 3 months and my employer can't say that i am required for foreseeable future as i am on contract (tier 2)

TIER 2

Also, the sponsor that gave you the certificate of sponsorship for your current job must:

certify in writing that they still need you in the job; and
confirm that you are paid at or above the appropriate rate for the job as stated in the codes of practice for Tier 2 sponsors. If you are not being paid the appropriate salary rate due to maternity, paternity or adoption leave, your sponsor must confirm the date your leave started and that you were paid at the appropriate salary rate immediately before the start of that leave.

Evidence of employment
You should provide recent documents from the employer named in your current work permit confirming that you are still needed and that your employment within them is continuing.

Hi Neesheel,

Have you had your ILR approved. I have the same problem. I am on contract ending in a month after my ILR eligibility date. I am also a researcher in the University and I assume they wont mention "foreseeable future" in the letter, rather they will mention the end date.

Hello,

I am also in the same boat, I am aiming to apply for the ILR in Jan 2018 and My employer is happy to mention that my contract end date Sept 2021 i.e. 4 years. Thus, do you think this would be a problem, this is due to fix term nature of the contract. I know this is an old thread and I would appreciate any responses. Kind regards JP

Any update friends? I also have appr. 7 months after I will become eligible for ilr.
