Will losing my job after submitting my ILR (SET(O)) application affect the outcome?
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2025 8:08 pm
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) under the Skilled Worker (SET(O)) route using the standard service, so I expect the decision may take around 3 to 4 months.
I’m due to go on maternity leave from the first week of December, and there have recently been some layoffs in my company. I’m a bit worried about the worst-case scenario — if I happen to lose my job after submitting my ILR application but before receiving a decision, could this negatively affect my ILR outcome?
Any insights or experiences with similar situations would be really helpful. Thank you!
