HELP! 2 months to ILR and layoff

[avanthikausha]

Hi,

I'm looking for switching into a new job as one of my coworker is really horrible. I'm eligible for ILR in June, I was wondering if I can give my notice in now which is 2 months and join a company during curtailment who cannot offer me visa. This is a great opportunity with good pay as well. Would that still count as work for my ILR?

Thanks.

and join a company during curtailment who cannot offer me visa.

You cannot work for anyone but your sponsor until your ILR is approved.
Also you need to supply a letter from your employer that sponsors you which states you're needed "for foreseeable future" to apply for ILR through Skilled Worker route; how would you achieve that if you've resigned?

HI,

I have a baby here with a UK born British citizen. My daughter was born in the UK too. I can apply for my ILR on 7th May (tier 2 work visa) but unfortunately my job may get redundant before that. Is there anyway I could get ILR considering I'm almost there? Should I switch to parent visa and do another 5 years?

What visa do you hold as your other question in February was posted in the Skilled Worker Visa sub forum???

Hi, I'm currently on General Tier 2 visa.

1. So in February you wanted to resign because of a 'horrible colleague', which could have been addressed through HR.

2. Now you are saying you are at risk of being made redundant, less than a month after you said you want to resign.

3. You CANNOT get ILR on your visa if you do NOT work for your sponsoring employer at the time of ILR and 'for the foreseeable future', you need a letter stating this.

4. You can apply to switch to another employer who is willing to sponsor you on a Skilled Worker visa, get a visa approved, work for the new employer until you qualify for ILR and then that is it.

5. Having a British child makes absolutely no difference to the visa route you are on and doesn't give you any advantages.

Is there anyway I could get ILR considering I'm almost there?

No.

Should I switch to parent visa and do another 5 years?

That is your choice if you want to do that.

Thanks I resolved my situation with HR and now the company is not doing financially well - we had a meeting since we are close to financial year end, therefore they are looking into redundancies (the colleagues are now gone, we are all stressed). I'm looking for immigration advice, not a investigation on my posts.

Can be given if you are honest and post the detail. Vague posts are not helpful. We are all unpaid volunteers on the forum!

not a investigation on my posts.

We search older posts to gain an understanding of a person's immigration and questions history!!! We often find discrepancies in what is posted at different times.

Wow, don’t be so rude to unpaid volunteers who give invaluable advice. Be kind and grateful.
