Thank you for confirming Zimba. I will be submitting my ILR application this week and taking a premium service. This is my history:
Tier 2 (General) - valid from 01/11/14 to 01/12/17
Entered UK 03/12/14, 2 days of UK with this visa excluding the date of 1st entry from visa issuance date
Then switch employer..
Tier 2 (General) - valid from 04/01/2017 to 21/01/2020
My employer had a TUPE transfer in between this dates. I had 21 days out of UK with this visa.
This are the documents I prepared to submit:
1. Original passports and BRP
2. 2 passport pic
3. Cover letter explaining the absences and TUPE on my second visa, still waiting for another letter from employer confirming the TUPE transfer
4. Pay slips, bank statements (3 months)
5. P60 from 2014 to 2019
6. Employment letter (confirming salary, SOC code and appropriate salary) although 2112 code is now on Short occupation list and in PhD occupation
7.Life in UK
8. English requirement (B1 level)
9. Other utility bills confirming my address in the past 5 years as I have moved 3 times
Note: I will be applying with my wife (dependent), we came here in UK of the same date. All dates in her visa is the same as mine including out of UK absences. Applied together in all visa as dependent with no gaps. Added the following requirements for this application:
1. Life in UK test
2.English requirement
3. 2 years evidence of cohabitation
4. Other utility bills (stating both names on same address)
Please advice if I miss something, wish me luck with this application. I will post in this forum for the outcome of my application. I will also be applying my 3 year old son for British citizenship once both ILR is approve.
