Tier 2 (General) to ILR

Post by JayAJ » Mon Jan 15, 2018 9:11 am

Hello there,
I am a T2 general employer sponsored WP holder.
In order to make an ILR application for myself, it will be 5 years level points only around June however my T2 Visa expires on March - does it mean I have to apply for an extension of 1 year for T2 visa or can directly put through an application for ILR with the expiring period ?

can you advise me the best possible options/suggestions ?

You must have valid leave/visa to qualify and apply for ILR.

What is your full UK immigration history including visa start and end dates, date you entered the UK etc?

You will need to apply for an extension.
