Hi,

While there has been guidance on furlough, i couldn't find much info around layoff or redundancies.
I am on Tier 2 general and i am eligible for ILR in Aug 2020. I am also eligible for long term residence in June 2020.
What happens to my status if I lose my job now before ILR? My visa will no longer be valid so i am assuming i can apply for extension under COVID. Will I still be eligible for ILR?

Thank you.
Regards,
Ramana

If you lose your job you cant apply for ilr based on 5 years tier 2 general.

10 years long residence ilr only requires 10 years legal residence from the date you entered the UK.

Thanks for the response. I came to UK on June 16 2010. I am eligible from May 20 if I am right. I am yet to write the Life in the UK test as centres are closed and my appointment is rescheduled.
What happens if I lose my job after June? I have legally stayed for 10 years and will apply for ILR as soon as the lockdown is finished. Will I still be considered overstayer on 10 years route?

Hi,
I asked a question in a separate thread which was locked and was provided reference to this thread. However the question was different. Could you please confirm.. once the ILR application is submitted with all the correct documentation (including the letter from employer), what happens if i lose my job while i am waiting for ILR decision.

Thank you.

The question is not different. Your ILR will be refused. You are expected to be employed by your employer or else ILR will be refused
