Tier 2 to ILR

[rockstar87]

Hi Everyone,

I have a doubt which i wanted to clear. I would appreciate any feedback.

I had start job in Apr 2014 on tier 2 skilled worker visa and company decided to close down in august 2016. I worked their for almost 2 years and 4 months. I thought i would receive a containment letter from home office showing my validity date. I never received the curtailment letter and found another job after 60 days of first job end. i had applied and got new BRP successfully and currently downing job at new place. My 5 years period is going to complete in Apr 2019.

Now question is as i exceeded the 60 days period between 2 jobs did i break the ‘continuous residence' rule and will it result in ILR refusal?

As mentioned earlier, i had not received the curtailment letter when left first job.

Thanks for reading.

Looking forward,
R

Hi CR001,

Thank you for responding.
My last day at job was 1 august 2016 as i have not got any notice period. End of sponsorship date is 19 august 2016. New COS was assigned to me on 14 Nov 2016 and booked 1 day priority application appointment on 14th Nov 2016 for 21 November 2016. Attended one day appointment on 21 November and got approval letter same day.

Please let me know if it helps? or you need any further info?

Yes your continuity is broken. the 60 day gap is between the last day of the previous job to the date the successful application for leave is made for new job.
