ILR in may 2014 - will Job change have an effect?

[vidhyakrish]

Hi

I am applying for ILR in Mid may 2014- Tier 1 general. My current situation is i have got a very good new permanent job opportunity.
I have read from the FAQs that Tier1 ILR doesnt need to provide Employer letter at the time of application. My question is if things go wrong and say my prospective employer doesnt give me employment proof or say im jobless at the time of application, would it have an effect on my ILR.

Please help - This would help me decide my new job which is an opportunity not to be missed but at the same time My ILR is very important to me.

Thanks

You should be absolutely fine. Worst case you will be without a job for 3 months prior to May 2014 when you apply. You need to show the required Income in 12 out of the 15months and since you are on a perm job I presume you are swapping jobs at the month end. And when you join the new place there will be a notice period. They are not going to hire you on monday and sack you on friday unless you do something ludicrous(dress up fully, dont take any suspicious things to work like knifes, plastic guns, imitation grenades and look smart , no beard/mousche AND dont swoon or burp when you see the ladies) you should be fine.

Hi VR

Thanks for our reply - much appreciated.

Yes even if i start the new job in Feb i would be jobless say mid march, i would still have the 12 months income to show out of 15 months.

My only concern is i would still be eligible for PR even if i am jobless - is that correct? i dont need a employer letter or anything like that?
Thanks

and btw Yes will make sure i dont do silly things at work and as a female i dont have beard/moustache and make sure i dont swoon when i see any handsome men.

Hahaha, don't swoon. just visibly blush continuously. Seriously, you shouldn't have any problems with the job change. Its not a requirement for Tier 1=>Settlement. You only score points for:
- age
- qualifications
- earnings, and
- UK experience
and have you Life in the UK certificate handy.

Vidyakrish,

Sincerest apologies. The krish in your nick gave me the wrong impression that you were male. You dont have to be on a job as far as you have met the requirements.

Once you get your ILR the damocles sword of financial targets will vanish altogether.
Good Luck.
Cheers
