The 11 weeks unpaid leave would have created a gap in your tax and NI recordBlack Panther wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 2:06 pmThanks for your helpful reply. Can you please explain how this may affect ILR?!
Is this your first Tier 2 Visa? I will suggest you take it one step at a time. Get a new sponsor, get another Tier 2 visa and you can think of ILR later.Black Panther wrote: ↑Sun Dec 29, 2019 12:05 pmThanks for your reply. Would this gap mean that my visa application will be refused?! Is there any way to fix this?!
What do you mean by make only one application? Given that your sponsor is not willing to continue soonsoring you, if you get a new sponsor, you will need to make another application for 3 years,which will take you to the 5 years requirement for ILR. However, given this 11 weeks gap of unpaid leave, you might want to have 5 years of clear tax record before applying for ILR.Black Panther wrote: ↑Wed Jan 01, 2020 10:50 amIf I managed to apply and fast track my application before receiving curtailment letter, would this prevent my dependents visas from being curtailed and this way I’ll make only one application at this stage?!
You should post in your own topic please. It is unfair to other users to tag onto their topics.Botman wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 3:45 pm@djsuccess
Hi. Would there still be problems with ILR if i have a 4 month employment gap between jobs, all the while holding a valid tier 2 visa. Because as you stated this would create a gap in tax/NI payment.
How it happened was i got a job and obtained a valid visa but it was withdrawn, then I got another job before curtailment of leave and obtained a valid visa.
If this employment gap is a legit issue for ILR, won’t my visa application for new job been rejected?
No it is not. It is considered unfair to all members and creates confusion. Please see the top 25 FAQs link below, specifically point 12! Note also that employment gap has nothing to do with the OPs circumstances of long term unpaid leave. They are two completely different issues.
