Changing Employer - Important Question

Hi Everyone,

I have read on quite a few post that when applicants applied for change of employer in Tier 2 and if their application for employment change is refused, then on refusal letter it is also mentioned that they cannot continue working for their current employer.

Is this really happening nowadays? Is it a massive risk of loosing your current tier 2 visa if change of employment application is refused?

Any feedback would be appreciated?

Thanks,
Hassan

Hi,

By any chance, anyone has any input on this. This question can be important for others as well who are going through change of employment process. Anyone has similar experienced recently and how did they go about it?

Also, I have a General question for Moderators. According to forum rules Is it ok to chase up for responses on your own posts after a reasonable time if no one has responded (as one may get a response later) or you should remain silent if there is no response from other members?

Thanks,

You can chase for a response after a period. The problem is that a lot of members only wait 20 minutes to an hour before bumping their topic multiple times.

Thank you for clarification CR001. Thanks

Hi All,

Does anyone has any input on this? As it puts change of employer applicants in danger upon refusal.

Thanks

I believe this is not happening with everyone and only just few people have been affected by this. Otherwise, this forum will be full with these sort of topics. We will need to wait for the affected persons to update us how they went about it as legally they are allowed to carry on with their current employer if change of employment application is refused.

I still believe senior members should input their thoughts on it and provide us with clauses from immigration rules which we can address in administrative review if (God forbid) the same situation happens with us.

The seniors will be able to answer that if change of employment application is refused and you have no grounds to win Administrative review because the reason of refusal is let say failed RLMT. On top of that UKVI has also asked you to stop working for your current employer, then at least a person can raise only this point in Admin review that they should be allowed to continue working for their current employer as they have valid leave and they have not given notice to their current employer yet. Also, according to law they are continue to work.

Will they be able to gain something with this in Admin review? Any input from the seniors will benefit everyone of us?

Thanks,

Thank you for creating this topic. I have seen couple of examples (http://www.immigrationboards.com/uk-tie ... 24217.html ) of this on the web too. I believe it will be very helpful for other people who are considering change of employment.

This is really scary, can someone please throw some light on this? experts??
I am going to apply for switching ...

I am surprised that there has not been many responses on this topic. I have read a few stories of people that their change of employer applications were refused and told not to continue working for their current employer. This is strange because in the past, people were allowed to continue working as long as they have valid visa.

It will be nice to hear from one of the people affected, maybe there's more to their stories.

Please help those that might want to change jobs.

Hi Guys,

One member was going through same situation and he has reported that he has successfully got removal notice removed when he contacted UKVI. See below link:

It seems like, its an error from UKVI which can be identified either in Admin review or by contacting them (if not going for admin review).

Thanks,
