Hello,
I am on Tier 4 [Doctorate Extension Scheme (DES),] after having completed PhD. I am now working elsewhere with a different University, since a couple of weeks and require switching from Tier 4(DES) to Tier 2 visa. There was a misunderstanding about the Sponsor Certified Maintenance, which I though my employer would provide me; hence, I did not maintain the required funds (£945).Unfortunately, it is not the case. Although, having said that, I still have the more than the required funds dispersed in my 2 bank accounts (key and saving total of >950 £) with the same bank, which cannot be accepted as per my understanding. So as an immediate step, I am now maintaining the required balance.
My question is: Am I allowed to stay a more of one and half month on DES and work for a different company? which would mean staying 2-3 months on DES while working with different University.
And to add to the concern, my passport is expiring in another 7 months time and my DES terminates in 7 months time. So what procedure one needs to follow in such a situations? Moreover, wen is the minimum time to renew the passport? Does it require any charge?
Regards
M
