Can you please advise am I eligible for ILR under 5 Years route due in March 2020?
As I heard There is no longer a 60 days employment gap rule. It was removed over a year ago.

Thanks

Tier 2 Migrants are no longer required to have been continuously employed throughout their leave. This was previously the case for applicants and they were previously only allowed a gap in employment of up to 60 days.

Thank you so much @ Amber

I will apply for my ILR on time and will post the outcome

Hi All,

My First Tier2 Visa Issue date was 20-03-2015 and my Ilr Eligible date is issue Date - 28 days
Eligible ILR date will be 20/02/2020.

I do have a confusion in Application submitted date & Appointment date.
Can I submit my application and pay for my ilr fees before 20/02/2020 and Appointment date(in person) after 20/02/2020.
Or I have to fill & submit my application after 20/02/2020 (-28 days of 5th anniversary)?

Thanks

The date of application is the date you submit and pay online. Your appointment date is irrelevant as it is an appointment with a third party for biometrics and identity check and not an appointment with Home Office.

Thanks @ CR001

So I have to submit and pay ilr fees after 20/02/2020 (-28 days of 5th anniversary) is that correct.

Thanks
