Thanks Zimba. I did pay attention to it. But just trying to clear any ambiguity. There is a FB immigration grp which also clearly states calculating ILR eligibility based on your initial tier2 application date is not a covid concession but is applicable to both primary and dependent applicants and ...

ok thanks Zimba. Could you pls confirm on below. My dependents timeline : ===================== initial tier 2 general application submission date = 15-July-2020 initial tier 2 general grant date = 27-oct-2020 Planning to apply for my dependents as super priority SET O ILR application on 17-June ...

Thanks zimba. So if the covid concession didn't apply to me then i wouldn't be eligible to apply based on initial tier2 application date - 28 days? Rather should have gone with decision date - 28days? is that the correct understanding?

Thanks so much CR001. But I see in other forums many ppl have secured successful ILR decisions when gone by initial tier 2 application submission date. Pls see below for example. Kindly advise.

@gary20 - how did your ILR Go? pls keep posted : )

Hi Team, Can the earliest eligible date to apply for ILR be (Initial Tier 2 application submission date - 28 days) based on below CR 6.1 or is that incorrect understanding? https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-continuous-residence?fbclid ...

Dear Team, I understand once ILR I achieved we need to be in you for 1 year to apply for British citizenship/ passport. 1. What are the other requirements in this 1 year time that we have to take care to be compliant to secure British citizenship and passport . 2. Like once ILR is secured can you be ...

Thanks much Zimba. 2a. Ya am aware of all other requirements. If all other requirements are met can SWV be applied for just say just 1-2 months in this case? Or can it be applied as min 2,3,5 years term ? 3. At what point the organisation notify the home office about the role coming to an end ? Say ...

Great thanks Zimba. 2a. What’s the bare minimum time for which SW can be applied. As in this case the person would have already completed the required 5 years time but just getting new sponsorship for the sake of employer letter. 2b. Can the ILR be applied right after first months payslip is g ...

1. What are your options if you will be completing 5 years IN SW visa and left with more 6 months of additional SW visa but your sponsor doesn’t give the employer letter that you are needed for foreseeable future? 2. If you get a new job can the new sponsor directly sponsor for your ILR ? 3. ...

Excellent, thank you Zimba. You have been super helpful as always

Dear Zimba, Thank you for the response. But the point here is my spouse was never a dependent on any other route except on my SWV. She was the primary main applicant on tier2 ICT Visa from Dec2018 - June-2020. Later moved as my dependednt on my SWV. timeline below posted for your ease of ref. ZIMBA ...

Dear Zimba,

My question is under what grounds / skilled worker guidance clause my dependents would be eligible to apply for ILR along with me on or after 16-June-2025? So that i can share the same with my employer advisor as an evidence.

Kindly advise.

Dear Zimba, Thank you and yes i did go through it. It seems to be one of the most messy, complex cases you have supported and turned out to be successful. But for me the question here is, As per Section 3C of the Immigration Act 1971, What is Section 3C ? When you apply for a new application before ...

Dear Zimba, Thank you so much as always. 1. So your suggestion is we all can apply together anytime after 16-june-2025 (which is what i believe as well) as opposed to what my org's immigration advisor is proposing as below. Pls confirm (i). I can apply anytime on or after 16-June-2025 [28 days MINUS ...

Dear Admins, I would like to know the earliest eligible date for my dependents to apply for ILR. I came to UK in Tier2 ICT Dependent Visa and then eventually switched to Tier 2 general Visa. Below is our timeline. 1. Tier 2 Visa ICT Dependent end date = Date 02-Dec-20 2. Tier 2 General Visa ...

Great, thank you so much Simba!! You are so helpful and knowledgable.

Dear Zimba, Thank you for prompt response. Just to confirm both myself and my dependents(spouse and kid) applied for the tier2general visa on the same day as me on 14-july-2020 which falls under the covid concession period between 24 January 2020 and 30 June 2021. Still only I as a primary applicant ...

Dear Zimba, Gary,
I am exactly in the same situation. Thank you so much and the above covid concession gave a great insight which nobody could give.

Question : Does this concession apply for my dependents as well or only for the main applicant?
Kindly advise.
