Queries regarding switching from GTV to ILR
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2024 10:56 pm
Hi,
I am currently on a Global Talent Visa, endorsed under the Endorsed Funder route. I have now completed 3 years and I am now considering applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). I have a few questions and would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer.
1. I have lived at three different addresses since I moved to the UK. For the first two addresses, I have tenancy agreements and council tax bills in my name. However, for the third address, I am staying with a friend, and while most bills are in my friend's name, the water and internet bills are in mine. In this context, I was wondering if it would be acceptable to submit the water and internet bills as proof of residence instead of a council tax bill for my ILR application.
2. Additionally, I have worked in two jobs since arriving in the UK. For the ILR application, should I obtain letters confirming leave of absence from both employers or would a letter from my current employer suffice?
3. I am about to send an email to my current employer to request this letter, and I would appreciate your advice on what details it should contain beyond the usual information, such as my position, date of joining, and leave of absence.
4. I also have a question regarding the leave of absence: should the leave dates match exactly with the periods when I was outside the UK? For instance, last year I travelled to my home country for 45 days, during which I used a week of the work-from-home option while in my home country.
Thanks for the help!
