Re: Work start date - Urgent query

Can you point to the threads and posts that state otherwise? If your new visa is rejected, you'd still be able to continue working for your current sponsor on your old visa until that expires. A new COS without an approved new visa does not invalidate your current visa. You still have valid leave. ...

Re: Work start date - Urgent query

Just as a post note Eduleal

The guidance clearly states that

You can continue working for your previous sponsor until the start date on your new certificate of sponsorship if your current permission to stay is still valid.

Re: Work start date - Urgent query

Again, will the fact that I was still working (am still working) with my current employer as on the work start date on the new CoS cause any issue with the application? That's no problem at all. You still have valid leave to work for your previous employer. The work start date on the COS means noth...

Re: Work start date - Urgent query

No need for multiple topics with the same question. Topics merged. Until the new visa is granted, she can continue to work for her existing sponsor who sponsored her existing visa. And I am guessing, in simpler terms, I can expect no reasonable chance of application refusal because of this situation?

Re: Tier 2 general CoS Dates query

Not at all. Her current visa is still valid, so she can keep working for the current employer while the other one is processed. If the new application is rejected, she can even continue working with the current employer as long as her current visa is valid. Brave move to let the old employer know b...

Although there was nothing that I did not quadruple-check in the application, there was a slight possibility that the application may have some problems since I have a few ink marks on the edges of the passport pages.

Still waiting for the documents to arrive though. Hopefully it is positive.

email from UK High Commission!

The title say the email is from VFS. If so this is normal. The VFS is only an intermediary. It does not know the outcome of your application and will give you a sealed package that contains your passport. You need to open it to learn your fate. In some locations, but not all, the actual visa office...
