Post by yolika » Tue Feb 18, 2020 1:17 pm

Hi,

I am now applying for COS (tier 2 general , switch from tier 4)
My current tier 4 visa will be expired on 31st March 2020,
So can I put the work start date on COS as 1st April 2020?

Thanks

That's up to your employer. Ask the HR for advice.
I do not give immigration advice. I refer you to Immigration Rules, guidance, other online content and to your sponsor.

Same situation here. When applying for COS our layer advised to put 2 weeks after your visa application date. So I was applying for Tier 2 on 3rd of Feb and my cos states 17th of Feb as start date. Even tho I haven't got my visa yet. He said it might be a bit of a weird situation if you get new visa and your contact according to cos has not started yet, but your student visa will be no longer valid since you got a Tier 2. Hope this helps, good luck!
