Dear marcho,marcho wrote:Dears,
I am(was) on a Tier 2 (general) visa which originally expires in Feb 2017. However my sponsor's licence was revoked on 19th Feb 2016, but i have still not received any letter of curtailment from the home office, and i know the address cannot be the issue (i am still living in the same address). I am not sure if the 60 days are counting already since 19th of Feb, or will this start only when i receive a letter? What is my status in the meantime ?
I am also the unmarried partner of a person settled in the UK, so I am planning to apply for FLR (M) - 5 year route, but what should I write on my application as the end date of my current leave ? Should i be saying in the application that actually my sponsor's licence has been revoked ? Also, once i apply for the FLR (M) what will be my status ? Will i be able to work under the section 3C of the Immigration Act, as long as I have applied before i receive the curtailment letter ?
I will be grateful for any help and advice!

there is normally some delay in issuing curtailment notices but the 60 days will be counted from the date of the curtailment decision, not from the licence revocation date.

if you apply before receipt of the curtailment decision Feb 17, otherwise the date in the curtailment letter. In the former case write an explanatory covering letter.
Also, once i apply for the FLR (M) what will be my status ? Will i be able to work under the section 3C of the Immigration Act, as long as I have applied before i receive the curtailment letter ?
Section 3C will operate if you apply before your curtailed leave expires. However, you'll need to convince your employer that this is the case and they will probably seek independent advice.
I will be grateful for any help and advice!
under the circumstances (section 3 C) and provided s/he is still employed by the revoked sponsor would continued employment beyond the curtailment date be a problem?Frontier Mole wrote:Is your employer still continuing to employ you?

Do you mind sharing a little bit of background please as to when was the licence suspended ? What were the reasons etc ?
Thanks

Dear Frontier Mole,Frontier Mole wrote:Not at all. That is the loophole in the system, a revoked sponsor can carry on utilising sponsored employees up to the date of their curtailment expiry date.
The reason I asked was to see what the Sponsors view was on continued working and how that might life easier continuing in employment down the FLR(M) route.
