Re: Is ILR closed for new application on Tier -2 general.

This is not true. You will have a max of 6 years to meet the requirements of ILR, which now has a stipulation of earning more than 35000 per annum for most occupations (not including shortage). You will also need to meet residency requirements, etc... ILR qualification is no longer 'automatic' after...

I worked as an unqualified teacher completing the GTP programme last year. As long as you are paid above the equivale...
