ILR Query

[dhilipjack]

Dear Members and friends,

Please help. My timeline as follows;

Arrived on Tier 4 - 10/2009
Switched to PSW (Tier 1) - 07/2011
Switched to Tier 2 General - 02/2013
Job made redundant - 08/2015
Joined with new employer - 04/2016
Tier 2 Expires - 02/2019

When my job was made redundant on 08/2015, I received sponsorship curtailment letter from UKVI on 11/2015. I had 60 days from receiving the curtailment letter to make another application. I made FLR(O) application on 01/2016, before 60 days and varied the application to Tier 2 general and application got approved until 02/2019.

Since I had the employment gap for more than 60 days, I would not be able to make ILR application through 5 year route.

In terms of 10 years route, I'm short of 6 months as the Tier 2 general cannot be extended for more than 6 years.

Would it be possible for someone to give some advice.

Many Thanks in Advance.

Well you can either apply for SET(LR) and hope that it takes more than 6 months by which you will be eligible or apply for FLR.
There are no guarantees and quite risky. Switching to another Tier is a much better approach if you can

SET (LR) is 10 years route right?
