Any benefit in Preparation

[penguin2018]

Hi All,

We moved to the UK 2 years back from India, on a 5 year T2 General visa with wife and kid. If I manage to stay 5 years I can apply for ILR however, my constant stress is the scenario where my company asks me to leave. This is not likely but today's corporate world is always unpredictable

I wanted to know if there is any way we can prepare to avoid this (apart from not getting fired) e.g. Is there another visa we could potentially move to if we prepare from now OR are there any jobs my wife can try for so that I can move on her sponsorship.

I can sustain myself for a year without a job, if thats useful. I know this is open ended question but I guess this is similar to many other people here

Thanks

Tier 1? But once you change the type of visa, you would need to go for another 5 years in the new visa category or live for 10 years lawfully in the UK combining all types of visa you had.

I guess thats going to be hard then, and there seems to be nothing I can do? I will check on T1 visa but not sure how that could work
