Hi all,
I was on Tier 1 GE visa recently and applied to Tier 1 E visa before my Tier 1 GE visa expires (it expired on 30th November) and now my documents are with HO under consideration. I have already taken biometrics and submitted docs.
However, I have an offer to switch to Tier 2 visa.
When you are on Tier 1 GE visa, it is easier to switch to Tier 2 as Tier 1 GE visa holders are exempt from Residence Labor Market test and hiring companies will not pay Immigration Skill Surcharge + you can immediately get CoS with unlimited sponsorship.
My questions are:
1) as my Tier 1 GE has already expired and my application to switch to Tier 1 E is under consideration and the decision is not made yet, can I still easily switch to Tier 2? Do I still have the above-described privileges? or they no longer apply to me as my Tier GE has already expired?
2) if I still can easily switch to Tier 2, how do I do that? Do I fill a new visa application form which overturns the existing application?
Your advice is highly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
