Hi,

1) Is it possible to apply to ILR while on Furlough?
(Assuming I will get a letter from my employer mentioning they are happy to employ me for foreseeable future. )

2) I am currently on tier 2, What happens if I get redundant while waiting for the ILR result? Do caseworkers contact company and check if I am still employed by my sponsor?

3) Am I allowed to work for another company while waiting for the ILR result?

these would not be an issue if there was a 1 day premium application available, but as I understand waiting time is a few months at the moment..

1. Is your employer topping up your salary? If not, do you still meet the ILR income threshold even with reduction in salary due to furlough?

2. Your employer has an obligation to inform the Home Office (through SMS-Sponsor Management System) within 10 days of your last employment date. So, unfortunately that would mean that you would not be able to obtain ILR on the basis of being employed with that sponsor. Caseworkers can contact the employer/sponsor to check as well.

3. No. On Tier 2, you must continue to work for your Tier 2 General sponsor until your ILR is granted, and the ILR BRP is in your hand.

1-what happens if your salary no longer meets the threshold due to furlough pay cut? HO has provision to consider your remuneration as pre-furlough i.e. 100% of what it used to be.

2-do they really call the employer? If you could apply via priority service you could get your ILR in 2 days. now because of covid closures it takes months (I think) and during those months you have to keep the same job?? No guarantee that employer will be called or not. This is either done on random basis or where there is clear grounds for them to want to clarify your employment details.

3-agree with your comment there

I don't know is it related or not. But in my company, many employees got furloughed and unfurloughed at least 3 times. I don't see any issue with that process.

Yes - I believe that was the case in the first furlough in Spring.
I'm not sure if the same will apply this time. Do you guys have any link to docs that explains this in more detail? Maybe people can ask their employers to unfurlough them temporarily so that they can apply for ILR without having to deal with extra furlough docs and processing times..

Please do not hijack someone else’s topic. Best to start your own topic.
