Re: CoS Date and Joining Date

Hi

I will try and answer and share my experience.

Before biometrics appointment, the joining date in the CoS can be updated. I requested my employer to change the joining date before I went for my biometrics appointment. It worked.

You may ask your new employer to add the sponsor note to update the start date.
There can be change of date upto 28days from the original start date if I am not wrong.
So, the CoS start date cannot be changed ?

You can apply within 28 days before 15th August 2021, as the rules stand now (and they make changes often so you will need to check nearer the time).
Thank you so much :-)

Can one switch from Tier 2 PBS dependant visa to Tier 2 General from UK ?

Hello

I am on a Tier 2 General Visa. My wife is my dependant. I saw her passport and it says something like PBS Dependant.

Her employer is willing to sponsor a Tier 2 General Visa. Can this switch happen while she continues to stay in UK ?
