When EXACTLY can I apply for ILR with my Tier 2?

Hi guys,

I wonder if you can help me to decide when exactly am I eligible to apply for ILR on my Tier 2 General Route?

Please see the list below:

1. Date I was issued my first 3 year Tier 2 Visa - valid from 25/09/2014 -> 31/08/2017
2. Extended my visa with the same employer for another 3 years valid from 04/09/2017 -> 14/09/2020
3. Switched jobs January 2019 and new visa was granted valid from 22/01/2019 -> 18/08/2020 (complete 6 years)

looking at the expiry date of my current visa, does it mean that I am eligible to apply for ILR from 1st August 2019 as I complete my 5 years on tier 2 in a month's time? OR is it September when I finish 5 years on my visa?

Finally, I work remotely (in a different town in the UK) and work on site a few days every month for my employer but my main work address on my visa application was the office address. Is it going to be an issue when applying for ILR?


Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

You are eligible to apply 28 days before 25/09/2014

Shouldn't be as far as I know but others can provide more information

Ok great! thanks for your reply.

Just so I understand correctly, the 28 days period is before the first visa issue date. Correct?

Thanks

Yes!!

Brilliant. Thank you for confirming.

last two questions, is there a holiday letter template available? I haven't taken it from my previous employer yet so I am keen that I send them the right template to fill. Secondly, can I travel abroad whilst I am waiting on my new BRP after the visa approval?

You should wait till you receive your ILR BRP card.

Hi guys,

I was wondering, could I use my online bank statements for my ILR application?

I am with Natwest and their online PDF statements have full bank details, logo, my details and opening/closing balance so I was wondering if that's an acceptable form of statements? OR would you rather I use printed copies from my bank to support my application?

I am also using the following documents with my application, please let me know if I have missed something:

- Passport + current BRP
- Last 3 months pay slips
- Last 3 months bank statements
- Life in the UK test
- Letter from my employer confirming my employment for foreseeable future
- Letter from current employer confirming my holidays with dates when I was outside the country
- Letter from previous employer confirming my holidays outside the UK
- Degree certificate to prove the language skills
- p60 ?


Please let me know if I've missed anything.

Any help is highly appreciated.


Thanks
