When can I resign after being granted ILR?

Hi,

I'm applying for ILR same-day this week and wondering when it's ok to give notice at my current job (the company that is sponsoring me on ICT-Tier 2)?

I've been told once I leave the PEO with a certification letter, my ILR will be official and I can in theory resign on the spot.

I just want to make sure there will be no ramifications of giving notice the same day I receive ILR.

Thanks all.

Once you have letter of grant of ILR then ,yes, you are not bound by the employer for your leave to stay here in UK.
I would just wait for a few more days until the BRP arrives and then inform the employer.

Technically, the very next second after you got your decision letter. :D.
But, yaa, it is wise to wait until you receive your biometric (it wont take more than 3 or 4 working days after you got your decision letter in hand).
