Zimba bro I think you are wrong about the SOC thing. As you know, I was in a SOC for 5 years and when I am about to apply for ILR, I got a permanent contract on a different SOC. You advised me to get skilled worker visa first but I believed I don't have to do it. So, I decided to proceed with my ILR...

Ok thanks. Will keep you posted what I do.

Thanks for the reply Zimba.

In this case, I will apply for a new skilled worker visa. But Is it possible for the employer to give 6 months or 1 year CoS for a permanent role? or minimum 3 years is required? Because I dont want to pay NHS fees for 3 years as I have already paid for past 5 years.

Hi @zimba, I got a permanent job offer from an another company and waiting to hear from my own employer next week. My current visa expires on July 14th and my current contract with my employer ends on June 30th. Lets say I get a new role in the same company I am working now and it starts from July 1...

Ah okie got it. At the moment I am waiting for three interview results. 2 from my current employer and 1 from the other. Fingers crossed.

Hi Zimba,

Oops sorry, in this case, I will wait till I get my interview results.

Hi, I received my first BRP dated from 05-06-2019 to 14-01-2024 and my second BRP dated from 01-01-2024 to 12-07-2024. My current work contract ends on 30-06-2024. Technically, I complete my 5th year on 05-06-2024. However, I only have around 39 extra days on my current visa, and I am still attendin...

Thanks Zimba! Your reply is a relief to me!

Hi everyone, I am in the process of applying for my ILR. By the 6th June 2024, I would've completed my 5th year in the UK on skilled worker visa. However, I worked from my home in India for my UK employer while on skilled worker visa on 3 different occasions for a period of 170 days (during covid lo...
