Tier 2 Period to ILR
Posted: Wed Apr 11, 2012 2:09 pm
Hi
I was granted a Tier 2 General Visa from 15th July 2009 - 25th May 2012.
Although my employer asked for a full 3 years from 19th May 2009 to 20
May 2012, due to application processing time, I was given a visa in July 2009.
I will be applying for the Tier 2 extension in May for another 2 years.
So the total period for Tier would be 4 Years 10 Months, 12 days. Which
mean I will fall short of the ILR Period requirement for 5 years. Is is
possible to send a cover letter explaining the situation, and ask for the
extension to be granted to cover that missing period as well.
My employer is willing to put the missing period including 2 years on my COS.
Thanks
