Hi All,

I will be applying for ILR in Mar' 19 through Tier 1 Ent route.

I just saw the updated guidance and it clarifies that jobs created during the last extension application would be counted towards the total requirement. Is that correct interpretation?

As per Guidance:
If you are applying for a second extension or 5 year settlement application:
• You can only score points for employment activity from your most recent extension period
of leave.
• You cannot claim points for any employment activity from your initial period of leave (as
this can only be used to score points for your first extension application).

Secondly, if I employ an EEA national (Hungarian), it says that the person would need to submit a UK registration certificate. However when I checked the HO site for the registration certificate, it says that if you are an EEA national, you don't need the registration certificate. Could someone pls clarify.

Should be fine just passport copy or National ID card

Thanks in advance.

it means you can not use transitional arrangement after 6/4/2019 for settlement application.

If your leave granted before april 2014,

you need to show 104 weeks of employment for settlement application but after 6/4/2019
you have to show 2 jobs for 12 month period.

ONLY Jobs created AFTER the grant of extension will count towards ILR

EEA national passport page is enough

Hi, This is very different question from the earlier post. I am afraid people will not even read the bottom part where the new question is. Could you pls separate the 2 posts.

Please do click on the link to read the forum rule about multiple posts/topics. No it won't be separated into two separate topics.

Not sure why you believe 'no one will see your post'. It will be at the top of the list of recent topics and the forum members know how the forum and posts work!!!

All questions relating to your Tier 1 Ent to ILR should be kept in ONE topic please. Many members do this and get responses, so I am not sure what your concern is with wanting a new topic for each question on the same application.

Hi Guys

I will be applying for ILR between 1st and 5th Apr 2019 under Pre 6 Apr 2014 transitional arrangement.
I will be completing my 5 years on 29/04/2019.
I was given last extension on 27/03/2018 and will be using April 18 to Mar 19 as period for qualification.
My employee hours as below:

Job1:

Employee A :
FT: 130+ hrs month
01/04/2018 to 31/03/2019
=12 months or 52 weeks

Job 2

Employee B:
PT: Monthly hours: 87, 89, 88, 88, 87, 89, 87, 87, 87, 87, 87, 87
(01/04/2018 to 31/03/2019)

8 months combined with job 3

Job 3
Employee C
PT: Monthly hours: 24, 104, 103, 68, 108, 108, 108, 108, 108
(01/07/2018 to 31/03/2019)

8 months

Job 4

Employee D:
PT: Monthly hours: 20, 18
(01/09/2018 to 31/10/2018)


My query is, Will I be able to add the total part time hours to reach the required hours to 3120 or would UKVI add the 2 part time hours to max of 130 every month and I will run short of around 3 months?
If that’s how HO calculates then you’ve got a good shot!

If I add the 2 part time hours in 2 separate roles, I exceed the hours required to qualify, however I am not sure if that will be applicable.

Could someone pls clarify


Thanks in advance

You may or may not get away with it.
Strictly speaking.. seems unlikely.
This might help.
Part time employee.. 01/01/19-31/03/19.

Thanks Aman. Yeah I figured it would be best to take on another PT to use the remaining hours for 3 months. I will try and take on another FT just in case as a cushion.

The form states 120hrs/month as F/T
Though only you know how ur employees fulfill ur business needs.. you could consider a number of combinations with ur existing employees as well as adding a new p/t employee.
I wonder if adding April 19 would work for you...considering transitional ends on 6th April 19 but you are applying just before it.
