Exceptional talent to ILR - potential issues
Posted: Sun Jun 16, 2019 2:27 pm
Hi all,
On this forum quite a lot of people were asking if we can combine Tier 2 general with Tier 1 exceptional talent to hit 3 year rule and the answer is pretty clear - yes we can!
However, I am curious about other requirements-
(i) During his most recent period of leave as a Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) Migrant, the applicant has earned money in the UK as a result of employment or self-employment in his expert field as previously endorsed by a Designated Competent Body; and (ii) That Designated Competent Body has not withdrawn its endorsement of the applicant.
When we say most recent period - what is the reasonable length of this period? How long one need to be employed on Tier 1 visa to satisfy this requirement?
Thank you!
