Hi all, I just want to give an update to you all about my ILR. I previously had a topic raised lots of discussion about if absence from UK using unpaid leaves affect ILR or not. I had 1 day authorised unpaid leave and I had used that leave for travel outside of UK. My ILR (5 year Tier 2 continuous l...

Sorry for this late update. I think I have found the answer. https://www.gov.uk/tax-free-childcare clearly says people from outside the EEA and your UK residence card says you cannot access public funds are not eligible. This means that there is NO OPTIONS for Tier 2 visa holder to have any kinds of...

Hi all,

The childcare voucher has been closed on Oct 2018. The alternative is tax free childcare.

As a Tier 2 visa holder who have no resource to public funds, can I apply and use tax free childcare? Is tax free childcare public funds?

Thank you in advance for your help.

No replies. Anyone share their opinions?

It'a fine to do that (delay the start date).

Bear in mind it is not a legal requirement to serve the notice period. If your friend wants to go, he can go!

Thanks for your comment. Have you experienced this before? Or is there any part of immigration rules explicitly explained it?

You just need to ask your new employer to add a note on their Sponsor Management System with the new start date. The new start date should not be more than 28 days from the start date stated on the CoS, or the issue date of the new BRP, whichever is later. Is this applicable for scenarios after the...

Hi, Recently I have been offered new job with new employer under Tier 2 General visa. I have already applied for Tier 2 General - Change of employment under priority category. The start date as per new CoS from new employer is not allowing me to complete the full notice period with current employer...

Hi all, My friend submitted his Tier 2 Change of Employer application on 13th May. He has successfully obtained a BRP on 2nd June. The start date on the CoS is 2nd July. He gave notice to his current employer, but his current employer wants him to work until 13th July which is later than the CoS sta...

Hi All, I understand that for certain nationalities Tier 2 via holder needs to register to police when they move home address. Do I also need to fill the Change of Circumstances form and post to UKVI regard my address changes? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/notification-of-change-of-circ...

Anyone have similar experience before? Any further comments?

Hi all, My daughter just received her BRP - a PBS (Tier 2) Dependent Leave to Remain. My daughter is only 7 months old. Does she need to register to police? I have checked gov.uk but it isn't very clear. My understanding is that people who are under 16 years old does not need to register to police. ...

Hi all, My company has recently started a new policy to allow their employee to have better support to their family. This policy gives employee 8 weeks parental leave with 100% base salary.

Hi Tristan,

Hope you had successfully complete your ILR visa processing. I'm in the same situation of yours, does the letter from employer regarding the unpaid absence from UK was any help?

Hi Sandy,

I haven't applied my ILR yet. When will you apply for your ILR?

It has been a few days and no one has shard anything new.

Before this thread become totally inactive, may I ask does anyone had experienced the similar situation and successfully obtained ILR?

If the absence wasn't for serious nor compelling reasons, then was the absence for a purpose that is consistent with the applicant’s basis of stay here? Paid annual leave is an example of a purpose that is consistent with the applicant’s basis of stay here. If the employer approves an unpaid leave ...

Anyone successfully obtained ILR with unpaid absences from the UK?

( c ) Except for periods where the applicant had leave as a Tier 1(Investor) Migrant, a Tier 1(Entrepreneur) Migrant, a Tier 1(Exceptional Talent) Migrant or a highly skilled migrant, any absences from the UK during the five years must have been for a purpose that is consistent with the applicant’s...

I found this: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ ... _ilr_rules

Anyone has any comments? It clearly says unpaid will break the continuity. Should I trust this?

Does anyone has experience the similar situation and successfully obtained ILR?

Thank you

What was the reason for your absence from the UK while on Tier 2 visa ? You are allowed max of 180 days from the UK in each year. However under Tier 2, absences must be consistent with or connected to your permitted employment or business activity being carried out in the UK, for example, business ...

anyone help?

Dear all, I have a few questions related to absence from UK using unpaid leaves during my tier 2. 1. Does absent from UK using unpaid leaves break my 5 year continuous period? 2. In the letter of absence from my employer, should unpaid leaves being included? Or should I have own letter to list unpai...

Thank you for your reply. The total number of days during that period was 20 (8 of them was unpaid). This is also the total number of days out of the UK for that particular year, so no I am not going over the 180 days limit. I am getting a letter from my employer detailing all my absences from work...

Hi I have the similar situation. Did you obtain the ilr?
