Tier 2 sponsor license Suspended- can FLR be applied?

Post by opti21 » Tue Mar 07, 2017 9:57 pm

Hi,

I am in UK since SEPTEMBER 2010 on Tier 2 ICT visa. Recently my sponsor's license has been suspended & I am not sure my employer will be repossess or lose the license. If my sponsor loses his license my leave to remin will be curtailed which will be valid for another 2 months only & I will have to apply any other category visa within 2 months. so can I apply FLR (Further Leave to Remain) application considering any of the below points-

1. My Son has been born in UK in AUGUST 2012 & is in UK since birth.
2. Last year I have purchased a house in UK.
3. My wife also works full time in a company (& my son attends the daycare nursery 5 days a week)

So can I apply for FLR using any of the above excuse. If not what are any other ways to remain in UK (apart from getting a tier 2 general sponsor) Please advice. Thanks.

No, not really. Your child is small enough to adapt to another country and also, your child is not British. Many people with no leave to remain own property in the UK. Your wife working and child attending daycare is irrelevant to your immigration applications.

Does your wife not qualify for a Tier 2 General?

Thanks for the reply. Yes my wife & myself both qualify for T2 General visa with new CoS. I need another 3.5 years of UK residence to apply for ILR in 10 year category. Any advice regarding this please?

Another question regarding curtailment of leave. As the curtailment of leave gives us 60 days of valid visa, can we still work with the current employer (of which sponsorship license has been revoked) or do we need to stop working & we just have time of 60 days to wrap the things up or to find another sponsor?

The 60 days notice period for curtailment, I believe is to
1. Allow you search for another job and switch your visa
or
2. Make travel plans to go back home

You can not continue to work for your current sponsor because they are no longer qualified to sponsor a visa (if their license was revoked).
