Tier 2 to ILR - Multiple sponsors

Post by lonewanderer » Tue Apr 23, 2019 11:34 pm

Hi,

I've been in the UK for 4.5 years now on Tier 2 (General) visa and intend to apply for the ILR in October this year. During my stay I've gone through the Employer Change/Extension process 4 times and had some queries regarding it. The following is my scenario with timelines:

October 2014 - September 2017 (Sponsored and Employed with Company A)
October 2017 - May 2018 (Company A had applied for Tier 2 extension so I continued employment with them until end of May 2018)
June 2018 - August 2018 (Company B sponsored me a Tier 2 general visa but the starting date for the job was first week September, during this time I was not working but didn't leave the UK)
August 2018 - Current (Company C offered me a much better offer than company B, hence I took up company C's offer and conveyed to company B that I wont be joining them. My employmnet with company C started in first week November 2018)

Questions:
1. On paper I didn't get any salary for the months of June 2018 - October 2018 inclusive, should that be a problem? To provide residence proof during the unemployed time, I intend to give my council tax bill for that year, do I need to provide any other supporting document?

2. I had checked before that the 60 day unemployed rule was removed in 2018, is there anything else I need to take care off before I apply?

Responses will be appreciated

You should be fine. There is no need to prove residence either

Tier 2 to ILR - Damaged Passport

Post by lonewanderer » Wed May 15, 2019 2:31 am

Dear fellow members,

I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked on this forum. I will be applying for my ILR soon and I have the following scenario

October 2014 - First Tier 2 entry clearance, the visa was in paper form attached to the passport leaf, at that point there was no BRPs issued. The visa was valid till October 2017
May 2015 - Passport damaged, left in my jeans pocket and put in the laundry (i still have this passport)
June 2015- New passport and BRP was issued

I at this point have no visible entry/exit stamps on my damaged passport, do I need to submit any extra documentation to prove residence in the UK during 2014-2015? I do have a scanned copy of the tier 2 visa from 2014.

I had received a liablity order from the local magistrates court 2 years ago for non payment of council tax. I had paid the full amount there and then to the council. Do i have to mention this in my ILR application? Also how will this affect my naturalisation application in the future?

No. Non payment of council tax is a civil issue and has no effect on your ILR. A liability order is also NOT a CCJ

Thank you for your response Zimba, So for I put in 'No' for the following question:


At any time have you ever had any of the following, in the UK or in another country?

A civil court judgment against you, for example for non payment of debt, bankruptcy proceedings or anti-social behaviour
