WP first, Made redundant, Then switched to Tier 1

Post by vik30 » Tue Jun 19, 2012 2:49 pm

Hello there

Work permit issued on 4th Nov 2007.
Made redundant in March 2010. Last day at work 22 March 2010.
Filed the application (inside UK) to switch to Tier 1. Application was filed on 8 April 2010. Got the approval with Tier 1 Visa from 4May 2010 - 4May 2012.
Then started the New job End of May 2010. Since then, working continuously and now already have Tier 1 Extension till May 2015.

So, according to Five year Rule - I should qualify for ILR in Oct/Nov 2012. However, there is an employment gap of nearly 2 months (March 2010 - May 2010).
Please suggest if that employment gap effects my ILR eligibility ?

I would appreciate your time over it.

Thanks
VK
