Hi, I will be able to apply for ILR in a few months' time, switching from Tier 2. At the time of application, I will have about 11 months left in my work contract and 12 months left in my T2 visa. Is this going to be a problem? Can Home Office just say, well, work until your contract runs out and get the hell out? Thanks a lot in advance!

You only require a letter from your employer stating absences, your position, salary and that 'you will be required in your position for the foreseeable future'.

Do you meet the £35,000pa salary requirement?

By contract, I assume you mean your employment contract with your visa sponsor and that you are not actually 'contracting' through an umbrella company or similar

Hi, thanks for the reply! Yes, salary requirement, etc have all been met. And yes, it's an employment contract with my COS sponsor.

Any migrant that has a fixed length visa can only have a fixed term employment contract. Mine were exactly the same and then updated once I got ILR.

Mine is actually a fixed term contract (not fixed because of the visa). But I guess in the eyes of the Home Office, it's the same as yours?

I don't believe you are required to submit a contract. In any event, a contract is renewable. You definitely require the letter though that I mentioned in my first post.

Yes, thank you. So I should ask the HR to word the letter exactly as in the SET(O) form? 'foreseeable future'? plus other info, salary, occupational code, etc?

Yes

Thank you!
