Tier 2 genral extension after 5 years

[Bony]

Hi guys,
Can we extend the tier 2 general visa for 1 year after being on the visa for 5 years?
Reason as for above query as followed:
I had a tier 2 visa from April 2014 until Jun 2017 with employer A.
I applied and secured a new job in April 2015 with employer B. My last date with employer A was 25 th Feb 2015 though we had to extend that to 30Jun 2015 as my employer B couldnet secure a license in time. Though employer A as per rules informed Ukba of my initial end date of Feb 2015.
Which I was not aware about.
Meanwhile Employer B applied for license and got it in Jun 2015. I applied for 5 years visa and got it on the same day premium service. I got only 4 years Tier 2 probably because Employer B's license is valid until May 2019.
Starred with B in July 2015 though recieved a curtailment notice end of June 2015 which said the employment woth a ceased on 25th Feb and I have until August 2015 to either leave or secure a new sponsor. I shouldnt have though I ignored the curtailment notice because I recieved a tier 2 visa through B when I recieved the notice.
Now as we can if we take the notice into comsoderation it shows a gap in wmployment of 90 days. And this would lead to rejection for ILR.
Can i extend my Tier 2 for one more year with employer B so the full continous 5 year period is valid ?
I read that we can have Tier 2 general for max 6 years.
Your valuable inputs are grwatly appreciated.

You can hold Tier 2 general for 6 years max.

The 60 days employment gap rule has been removed from the immigration rules and is no longer applicable.

However, your post is not clear on what your 60 days curtailment notice was (you say you got one) and what date you applied for a new visa.

Usually helpful if you expect free help from members to state exact dates in the sequence of events as we can't read your mind.

@CR001, Sorry to ask this question on other's thread. I think the employment gap rule has been removed if the COS is assigned after 11th Jan, 2018. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

You are incorrect. A member recently had successfully after initially being refused.

Dear CR001,

Thank you for your swift reply, apologies for not being clear earlier.

Dates are as follows:
Employer A- work period June 2014-June2015
T2 visa- valid from 29 May 2014 until April 2017.

Employer B- work started on 2nd July 2015-still working.
T2 visa- valid from June 2015- July 2019.

There was some back and forth with employet A and initially my end date was noted as Feb 2015 however we agreed to extend the end date until June 2015.

Curtailement notice received on 16th June 2015 with T2 expiry for August 2015. (However had started working with the new employer in July 2015 already.) curtailement notice had my end date with employer A noted as Feb 2015. Nit sure if employer A informed them about change in end date to June.

Hence it appears like I had an employment gap from Feb 2015-July 2015.

I wad on Tier 2 visa continuously and i have p45 from employer A stating my end date as 26 June 2015 as proof. Also have salary slips until June 2015.

Would this be an issue in applying for and ILR? Or should i extend my visa with employer B for another year to be on safe side.

Thank you!!

Have I 'disallowed' others from responding?? No I have not. Members will respond if they choose to.

[Bony]

True! Though your tone dosent seem like you wish to or you want others to respond. Please be respectful when replying. I am not forcing you to reply.

[CR001]

Your tone is the disrespectful one. I merely asked you to follow the forum rules and not post duplicate posts when you have a topic, as many members are asked to do.

Perhaps, as a new user with 4 posts, you should read the forum rules (as required when signing up), a snapshot of the top 25 FAQs can be found here (click)

I will leave others to 'offer you free advice' if they wish to.

[Bony]

Well anyone can judge who's tone is disrespectful.having knowledge dosent allow you to use disrepectful language. You forgot one rule that the forum is to share experience and advise is free and thats why all are using it. You have almost mentioned "free advise" 3-4 times while replying and looks like you dont like people getting advise on this forum. And thats what my suggestion is, dont reply if you dont wish too. And if you do please reply with repapect.
I do know about the rule and I do apologise for the repeat posts though the questions I have asked are diff in both the post.
Anyways i dont want to go draf this on.
Many thanks for your "free" replies so far .
