Out of Work in 4th year (Tier 1). Effect on ILR

Hi in 4 th year, I was out of work for 8 months (health and market reasons), so my P60 has very less gross amount.



But now I am working (Tier 1 general).

As we need to submit P60. will case worker is going to check the gross amount in each P60.

Does anyone went into similar situation?

thanks for help.

From my limited knowledge, I think that on a Tier 1 visa you are allowed to be out of work as long as you are not claiming benefits. So it shouldn't have an effect on your application.

You should be fine as long as you have not claimed any benefits...

Not entirely true IMHO. Perhaps, the senior members can throw some light. The OP could have claimed JSA - Contributions based (not income based) and would have been fine.

Contri based JSA is not a public fund AFAIK.

Yes, if the OP had claimed any other benefit (which are public funds) then it would have been a matter of concern.

You need to show last 3 months income for ILR. Myself & some of my friends were out of works for 2-3 months. It didn't cause any problem. However, my friend has to wait till he got another job and could last 3 months earning at ILR application day.

Prior to that doesn't matter as long you can show economic activity covering part of HSMP period.

Thanks to every one for reply.

Did not claimed any benfefits.

Yes economically active.

regards.
