Yes he'd need confirmatino letter from *employer that they still need him.

*Employer should be Tier 2 (Religious ) licensed at the time of application.

If the license is revoked then he cannot apply and leave the country now.

If the license is revoked then he cannot apply and leave the country now.

He doesn't have to leave immediately, see para 654 in the T2 sponsor guidance:

Fair enough he doesn't need to leave immediately but still he cannot qualify for ILR. He will have to leave anyway. Do you think he will be able to find a new sponsor (T2 Religious) and get COS and apply for T2 and then apply for ILR . No way. Specially now when getting T2 COS is shite.

only he can tell whether finding a new sponsor is feasible. However, if it is and he obtains a new CoS and new leave then ILR is possible.

- Find new Job
- Employer is T2 Licensed
- Employer apply for COS (Lucky if employer already have Un Restricted COS)

I'd be very happy if he gets T2. But seems quite tough. still good luck bro

You are wrong,utter wrong. Please dont post something which you are not sure about.

In order to quality for ILR via T2 route you need to be in JOB for employer with valid T2 license.

[shahbazali]

one lawyer told it is not mentioned in the guidance that at the time of ILR application employer must have T2 Cos license. so he can apply without cos just get the job letter from them as the mosque is still running only license is revoked.
can someone please tell me the link where it is mentioned that employer must have t2 license at the time of ILR.

thanks
