Getting confused

[abc111]

Hi,

My Tier 1 expires June 2011 but wondering if I should apply for T1 (G) extension!

I have a combination of 1 year work permit stay and 2 years of T1(G) stay. As per current rules I should be able to count my work permit stay so if I apply for extension now then this should take me beyond ILR eligibility date, which is desireable.

But HO might starting discounting work permit stay towards permanent residency then should I apply, also;

I claimed voluntary redundancy but would like to claim points for salary, which documents should I obtain from the past employer?

Thanks

Did you say your T1G expires in June 2011? Is it already expired then? Or your mean June 2012? Your WP period is counted towards the ILR period. You could apply anytime if you could complete the 5 years period with he extension. Normally extension is given for 2 years and sometimes 3 years depends on the CW. But remember that at the time of ILR you have to show the earnings equal to or more than what was at the time of extension. For extension you also have to meet the points rquirement. If you go through the Form and its guidance many things would be cleared.

I have read section 245CD(sorry if not recalling right!) but still confused. Please reply. Thanks

Considering your Tier 1 expires in June 2012 not 2011

Considering your situation you have completed or going to complete 3 years of mandatory 5 years period for ILR (2 year of T1 and 1 WP)

So you need to apply for T1 general extension.

statutory redundancy payment will not be considered for previous earning, other documents are common (as mentioned in form guidance or search this forum)

Best of Luck
