ILR under JR and job

fin36 · Post by **fin36** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 10:40 pm

I will be applying for ILR under terms of HSMP JR at PEO later this month. I have been in employment for all of five years without gap. Unfortunately, there have been severe cutbacks where I work and I am losing my job this month end. When I apply for ILR, I would have this months payslip, however, the employment letter issued by HR will have a start and end date of this month end. They have declined to give a letter which says "currently employed". Would this be a problem for ILR to satisfy the economically active criteria? As such on that day, I would still be economically active in theory.
Is it acceptable to provide offer letter/employment contract instead of employment letter backed with payslips (this month + previous 3-6 months)?

cannot see any issues. Your are under JR so it should be a straight forward case. What I would suggest is start looking for other jobs and keep track (printouts) of all/any applications you make so to show job seeking activity.

good luck.

You can be self employed. Just register with HMRC as a sole trader/contractor and look for even small jobs. Letter from accountant may be a great help that he would do your accounts and I suppose under JR you will have no problem. Best of luck
