What I understand is, even if my degree is not awarded, I can still join a full-time permanent job if Tier-2 is applied for, because my employer will mention this as a 3 year "contract" in the CoS. So, before Tier-2 is approved, I can work on Tier-4, because government sees the offer as "contract"....

I believe if you do not use your income in the UK (as in not transfer your income to the UK for any use) and keep it in your home country, it should be OK. My rationale is you do not need to pay tax on the income you earn abroad if you do not use or transfer any of this income to the UK and keep it ...

Oh, ok, so 8-weeks start on July 3 in my case, after biometrics?

Thanks for clearing the confusion.

Yes after 3rd July 2019

Yes, I am aware of this. However, my immigration lawyer stated that I can join the employment on the Tier-2 visa only after award of degree.

Your reply answers my question...
