It's not about difficulty, it's about if you meet all the requirements. If all criteria is met then it is likely to be approvedZhengWei3 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2019 3:37 pmHello everyone,
I'm currently doing a PhD in the UK and will finish my first 12 months in September 2019. I have been offer a graduate job at a big 4 company and signed a contract with an early september start date and intend to switch to tier 2 then. I was wondering how difficult it is in general to switch from tier 4 to tier 2? and generally speaking what is the likelihood of having the tier 2 application approved?
please bear in mind that my employer is certifying maintenance.
Read the Tier 2 Guidance (not just on the gov website) on Switching from Tier 4 to Tier 2, if you meet all requirements (there are quite a few) then it will not be a problem. The Home Office is not "picky" about small details --- applicants are refused normally because the evidence the applicants have provided does not really meet the requirements.ZhengWei3 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2019 9:57 pmMany thanks for your reply and apologies if I was a bit vague. What I meant is if someone meets the basic requirements stated on their website is the chances of success very high or are the UKVI usually picky about small details and tend to refuse a lot of applicants? Your reply answers my question so thanks for the clarification.
Thank you so much for your reply.
