Tier 2 Change of Employment

Post by Smitcel » Wed Jan 30, 2019 9:15 pm

Hello, I’m a nurse with my visa valid until 14/10/2020 now I have a chance of promotion in new hospital I got the job and I have the new COS as well. Could you please guide me what exactly is the step by step process for Tier 2 ( change of employment) ?
I have got A sponsor so I was told I don’t need to have maintenance fund, is that correct ? Also, As I have valid visa (tier 2 ) already I don’t need to have any English Language Tests to prove my language skills isn’t that so ? I have had my DBS checked with the new employer recently so I believe I don’t need to have the Criminal Certificate as well ? So my question is how do I apply for this Tier 2 ( change of employment) ? Where do I go ? Another tier 2 or tier 2 extension application ? And what documents do I need to present apart from new COS , my passport, DBS copy, ??

Kindly help me with this please it’s been so stressful lately :(

1. No you don't need maintenance fund I believe
2. No English test
3. Don't think you need DBS
4. Apply as "Tier 2 -- extension"
5. There will be a check list to tell you what documents you need, normally current BRP and passport, application form and photos that's everything I think
6. Remember, do not resign until your new visa has been approved

Thank you so much, that has been very helpful. I really appreciate your help. You know about the health surcharge I know I have to pay again as a part of application but do you think they will refund it once I get the visa coz I have paid for it already ?
