ILR after 5 year with change of employment in the middle

Post by andrew_uk20 » Sun Aug 11, 2019 2:20 pm

Hi All,

I've got an interesting question that I couldn't find any answer in this portal.

1. I have had Tier 2 (General) for over 5 years now.
2. In 2017, I applied for an extension with same employer but was refused due to an error in the CoS specifying 1h more per week, therefore made not meet salary requirements.
3. I applied for Admin Review within 14 days.
4. Found a better job with another employer and applied for a Tier 2 "Change of Employment".
5. HO called my lawyer asking to withdraw Admin Review in order to process Tier 2 "Change of Employment"; this was later approved.

My lawyer told me (at that time) that I was under Section 3C from end-to-end, as I withdraw Admin Review by myself instead of HO doing it as a new application was submitted. My quick questions are:

1. Was this true and I'm still good to go for ILR? or you guys think I breach the continuous 5 year working?
2. Did I have to stop working for my employer after the I withdraw the Admin Review? If I continued, is this a breach of immigration rules?

Thanks!
