Thank you so much...

I went through all suggested documentation and after discussion with relevant people. I can confirm this scenario looks most similiar.

Saying that, buyer Company G said changes will be there but they will be injected slowly, might take few months to a year. They are not really clear about it as THEY say they need to ANALYSE what's best for them.

Now what steps should I follow, should I ask them for confirmation that my job responsibilities will remain same etc.. or ask them for a SUPPORTING LETTER.

I am so so confused, did anyone went through similar scenario, I want to go for one day appointment but would that be risky ?

Gurus thank you for your time.

Your sponsor needs to notify UKVI through the SMS and explain clearly what has happened. If the example you cited is similar to your situation, then your sponsor will retain their licence and you can go ahead with your application. It is important that they explain their structure and nature of work as well as yours will not be affected by the acquisition. I have not gone through a similar situation and maybe others who have experienced it will add more to the comment. The first place to start from is by notifying the UKVI and then wait for further instruction from them after they have assessed your situation. Your sponsor will do the notification, you have nothing to do about it.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Company C's HR will notify HO next week, and then I guess I will have to wait and hope nothing changes until I get my ILR.

Did anyone received ILR while company was taken over or merged into another company on Tier 2 ?

Did anyone ever received ILR while company was taken over or merged with another parent company on Tier 2 ?

If yes could you please provide some details e.g. did you added any supporting letter from parent company who bought your company etc..

Many Thanks
