Work.

[tiN]

Just a quick question, we submitted my application for ILR visa yesterday. And I remember that my manager told me that my contract will be terminated on 22nd of February,(that is when my visa expired)

As i understand I am still eligible to work here eventhough my visa expire in 20 days time and the visa is on process? Can anyone confirm that? And for the company ive been working on, they want me to give a proof saying i am allowed, but i dont know where can i get it?

thanks in advance

THat's sounds dodgy..

You can work and stay here legally while your application is in the Home Office.

SHow your ILR Note to your employer (it shows there about your status) and contact the Home Office ASAP to get an advice, they might give a letter or reference for your employer to check your status.

Thanks Lady J, actually we phoned this afternoon to the HO just to make sure that i amstill eligible to work here, and they told me I am whilst my visa is on process, they gave me an Employer Helpline to give to the company but the company turn around and say they need a letter of confirmation from the Home Office

And I remmeber that the HO this afternoon says that they are going to send me a letter after ten days, but im not sure if that will be enough to confirm that im still alowed to go back to work.

Yes you allowed to work, but as you say wthout your passport you can't prove you are allowed to. You could try asking the HO for advice, but you might have to wait until you get your passport back.

It's only one phone call for your employer to call the Home Office to check your status but you must contact H.O. first about it and get a reference number then give it to your employer.

When we phoned this afternoon they did not give us a ref number, Im just worried because im still on leave right now, and im not sure if my gp will release me to go back working.

have you explained to the H.O. about your situation? Did they explained why they don't want to give a reference number or something else? did you ask them how or where to get a further info about proving your status to your employer?

H.O. should help you on this matter.

Yep we explained to them properly about my situation, they gave me a Employer Helpline for me to give to my work.

But they confirm to me that I am still allowed to work here while my visa is on process. But the company dont accept verbal agreement they want a letter from the HO. After 10 days HO told me that i will receive a letter, i think i will take it from there what will im going to do next

I can though understand why a company might be awkward - they don't want to end up with a £10K fine.

That makes a lot of sense then tin

You better tell your employer then that there's a letter for them from the H.O. Hope it goes well.

My filipina workmate applied her ilr while working in our shop and our boss never says that. Let them phone the HO or give the letter from the HO about ur application for ilr as a proof. That is illegal just to terminate u like that.

I will be applying mine soon sis but still im in the shop plus will be having my maternity leave soon.

Tin, how long have you been working in your job? Is it more than 12 months?

Is your contract open ended or for a fixed period?

In our shop sis im the first foreign workers they have and second my pinay workmate.Its just a family business run by a couple and on its 4 years of running now. They are obviously new to having a foreign workers. But they never raise an issue regarding that matter or our status. Even my maternity leave When my workmate applied her ilr she even asked our employer to write a letter for her which she included in the application documents.

Hope so sis, but im sure u will be alright.

That's a shame as your employer can dismiss you without any real justification, as long as there is no discrimination, and without going through any disciplinary procedures either.

If you had been there for over 12 months you could have taken him to Employment Tribunal if he dismissed you.

Could you go over your manager's head and hope that his boss will accept what you are saying?

My manager has been great to me, I explained to her properly and understand me, but my employer they are asking for a proof/letter from HO that i am still legal to work here

Fight them.

The are either worried about a fine or want to reduce the payroll and you look like a easy target.

Technically they may be able to end your contract if your visa ends, i dont know the law well enough. I presume as you would be breaking the law, they can. But your not and its unlikely your not get ILR if you and your husband are an item and have the evidence etc.
But if the home office and it maybe worth you printing off relevant parts (with the links on them of the home office/uk visas rules that you are able to stay and work untill a decision is made. Get the refrence number, and then they can ring up or dont they belive the home office?
