Employment gaps in my residence in the UK?

Post by Attila7 » Wed Feb 22, 2017 11:01 pm

Hello all, would you think several employment gaps (1-2 weeks long) would hinder my chances of getting PR residency card when I am applying for it?

For example I was in employment but as I was not happy with my job so I wanted to look for a new job, had a few interviews, then I got a job, quit my old job. Between the time of quitting my old job and the starting at the new place there were 2 weeks when I was not working anymore, just waiting for my new job to begin. So during those 2 weeks technically I was not a qualified person as I was not working nor was I job-seeker as I had already secured a job, so there was no need to keep looking for a job.

You are fine.

Invitation to interviews, as long as evidence of "genuine chance of finding it" (like a job offer), count as evidence of job seeking. So if you have a job offer that justifies not needing to seek for work anymore, I think you are more than covered.
My posts express what I believe are the facts, based on the best of my knowledge, about the topics discussed in this forum. They do not constitute immigration advice.
