ILR Refused (Tier 1 Entrepreneur – Job Creation Issue) → Can I Switch Without Resetting ILR Clock?

[CR001]

The moment you submit a Skilled Worker visa application your AR ends as does you section 3c protection.

You need at least 1 month on skilled worker visa as you need a payslip and corresponding bank statement for ILR.

Thank you very much @zimba for confirming. My current plan is as follows; could you please confirm if this is correct?

1: Submit an Administrative Review (primarily to maintain lawful status).
2: Switch to the Skilled Worker route within the following week.
3: Apply for ILR under the Skilled Worker route as soon as I obtain Skilled Worker status (around one week later).

As advised, you cannot apply for a new application while having a pending AR unless it is withdrawn.

Yes, you are right. Will AR withdrawn automatically during or while switching application?

A new application implies that you are intending to withdraw the AR. You cannot have an application while under Section 3C. So section 3C has to come to an end to allow the new application to proceed. Hence, the UKVI assumes that the AR is withdrawn, if you apply for a new application
