Any time spent under EA period is a gap in lawful residence as I already covered this many many times. The new rules do NOT apply to your application either as you already applied and the new rules do not apply. I already explained where the gap is and what could possibly go wrong in your case. Thi...

It starts from the BRP issue date for ILR. During COVID many workers were allowed to start work early for their prospective employers while waiting for a work visa but that did NOT change the ILR requirements. The fact that you started without a visa while waiting for the visa does not bring your el...
