Guys,
My cousin's situation is a worrying one. He has been on a tier 2 visa for many years and he (including his wife and son) are elligible for ILR in Sept 2014. Last week, unexpectedly, his comany goes into administration (2 days notice to all staff being made redundant) and everyone is sent home!
He has an option to remain in the country for up to 2 months before he find a new job with a company that will sponsor him. But in the current job atmosphere, we are just not overly confident, especially with how long it takes to either secure the certificate of sponsor or license altogether. So I am just reaching out here to sample opinions and experiences of others please.
Does my counsin have any other viable options? Can he switch to another category that can buy him some time to get his ILR in 7 months time?
Thanks!!
