I want to apply for ILR as a Global Talent under accelerated Route to settlement on the basis of 3 years by combining my time on Tier 2 with time on Global Talent to complete 3 years. But the only thing that I am worried is the break that I had in terms of exceptional assurance between Tier 2 visa and global talent visa. Please see below history of my visa since I got Tier 2 visa:

1. Tier 2 visa for the duration of 2 years and three months (Oct 2019 - Jan 2021); I can provide the pay-slip for 2 years and three months that I was working

2. Exceptional assurance for the duration of three months (March 2021 - May 2021). In this period I was jobless and was living in UK

3. Global Talent visa-exceptional promise route-(endorsed by the Royal Academy of Engineering) for the duration of 10 months (April 2021 – present). at the moment I am working full time for a company as a senior engineer in Newcastle upon Tyne. I have started this job since 18 OCT 2021, so can provide 3 and half month pay-slip

Do you believe that the time-period of 3 months that I was on exceptional assurance will count towards continuous residence?

These have no effect on your ILR

Much appreciated for reply Zimba.

hi, If you are on Exceptional promise visa, you need total 5 years for ILR. 3 years route is only for Exceptional Talent category.

Applicants endorsed by the Royal Academy of Engineering can apply after 3 years

Thanks Zimba, so the time that I spent on exceptional assurance between Tier 2 and global talent visa will not break the continious residency? And therefore I will be eligible to apply for ilr? I would appreciate if you can again confirm this.

I do not have a definite answer on this
