Tier 2 General - Switching to another employer after over a month

Post by Riiko08 » Wed Oct 16, 2019 11:15 am

Hi everyone. I hope anyone of you can help me here.
I just switched employers and my new visa was issued last August 2019. Unfortunately, things are not doing great for me at my new job because of mismanagement and lack of support that it has affected my mental health so much. I really wanted to stay since I just started but I really couldn't take it anymore. That's why I've decided to apply in another job. I've been given an offer and they are willing to sponsor me as well.
My question is, since I just got my new visa last August, will this be a problem with processing my new visa? I'm worried that the home office will reject my application because of the short gap between my current visa and new application.

Thank you for your time!

I do not see any restriction AFAIK on minimum days to change sponsor.

Also I would not worry about the outcome since your new employer :D is paying for visa fee.

As long as you have all documentation correct and RLMT done for new job , this should not be an issue.

But actually, the employer will not pay for my visa. I will shoulder all the costs. Will that be a problem?

I do not see any problem here apart from paying visa and IHS fees again.

I am very much happy to pay for all the fees just so I can switch jobs asap.
Thank you so much for answering. I really appreciate it :)

Hey,

I am in the same boat as you - please would you be kind enough to keep me posted? I have just changed my employment in Oct but I might be changing again in Dec/Jan.

Thanks and I hope your application goes well (and I’m sure it will) :)
