Hi everyone, I hold a Tier 4 UK visa (far from expiry date). My fiance is an EU citizen with pre- settled status (i.e., currently living and working in the UK but not for as long as 5 years yet). We are going to get married. How does my situation change? Should I keep my Tier 4? Can I apply for pre-...
You have misread the requirement. It is about some previous financial sponsorship under Tier 4, nothing to do with Tier 2. See paragraphs 212 and 213 of the Tier 4 guidance. Many thanks once again for your response. I know, I had read that so I wasn't worried about it. But then, during the applicat...
Hi again, When applying for a T2 to T4 switch, I came across the requirement of a letter of consent from my previous sponsor. Does anybody know whether I need a letter of consent form the EU confirming I have their permission to continue my studies in the UK? My current job is under a T2 visa and th...
Your existing tier 2 visa conditions continue while HO processes your tier 4 application, so yes, you can continue working for your tier 2 sponsor until your tier 4 is approved/issued/granted.
Thank you sah10406 for your response. I asked just in case the experience of ladyp had been any different. One last question if I may. If I apply with the regular 8-week service, would I be able to work under my Tier 2 while I wait for the T4 decision ? The gov.uk website says I can stay in the UK, ...
Oh I agree, the advisors at my university were quite helpful in my situation (after asking here I spoke extensively with them). Feel free to ask me though. Thanks for responding! Sadly, the advisors at my university referred me to immigration lawyers. I am just trying to decide how to proceed, and ...
The principle in UK immigration is that when new leave is granted, it automatically cancels any previous leave. The question is, when you are granted Tier 4 leave, will your employer allow you to continue to work for them under your new Tier 4 work conditions. That is a question for them. For sure ...
Thanks for your response. Given that this is about whether your employer will allow you to continue working for them, I don't understand why you seem to be asking everyone except the employer about this matter. because I would not like to let my employer know before I have been granted my new visa, ...
1. Would my tier 2 still be valid until the tier 4 comes into place? that is, would I be able to still work under my tier 2 from the moment I get my decision and until my Tier 4 replaces the current Tier 2? I'm sorry to bother again, but PLEASE could anyone give me some aid on this? Even if it's no...
Hi all, This will be very confusing but I'll give it a shot. I am currently on a Tier 2 and I will leave my current job to start a course in a UK university. I already have my CAS for my T2-to-T4 switch application. However, it seems ridiculous to pay nearly GBP 2000 for a T4 visa when, by the time ...
Hi all, I am on a Tier 2 and want to switch to a Tier 4. I would not like to inform my current employer until I have my Tier 4 approved as it may put my current situation at risk should anything fail with the Tier 4 visa. So I am planning to apply through the priority service, which takes 5 days and...
Hi, I am due to start a PhD this fall in the UK and will need to change from Tier 2 (General) to Tier 4 as it is full-time study. I am currently working in the UK and got my visa valid until 2022 Hi Ladyp, I am in the exact same situation. Would you mind if I got in contact with you? I'm unsure abo...
Hi all, I am on a Tier 2 and want to switch to a Tier 4. I would not like to inform my current employer until I have my Tier 4 approved as it may put my current situation at risk should anything fail with the Tier 4 visa.

Hi everyone, I am in the UK on a Tier 2 visa (general), but I'd like to change to a Tier 4 and start a MSc. I would do that well in advance of the expiry date of my Tier 2. Would anyone be able to advise on this? My biggest concern is whether my tier 2 gets automatically cancelled (not instantaneous...
