Will there be any impact in ILR process if there is a gap of four months without salary between jobs ?

Hi All,

I am on Tier 2 General Visa for the last 3.5 years and recently changed my sponsorship to a new employer. I was not paid for 4 months during this new sponsorship process. I would like to know if there is any impact with ILR for having a break in salary for 4 months.

Appreciate your suggestions and would like to know your experiences, if any.

Thanks,
Raj

What is the reason of not being paid for 4 months?

provide complete immigration history with exact date of issue on BRPs

I was not working for 4 months .It took 2 months time for finding a new sponsor and 2 months I travelled to India due to some emergency.
Visa Issued on : 31/03/2014 till 29/03/2017
Was not in UK for 7 months and was working for the same company in India .

Visa Extension: 14/11/2017

Left Job: June 18th

New Sponsorship: 11/08/2017 till 25/10/2019

Please let me know if anything else needed.

In order to be considered to have continuity for ILR based on Tier 2, the number of days from "last day at previous sponsor" to the day of applying for Tier 2 visa for the new sponsor should not exceed 60 days. If it does, continuity is broken.

so based on the dates, if your last day was 18th June, you should have applied for the new visa by 18th August to ensure that continuity is not broken. On which date did you apply for the new visa?
