Multiple visa application Tier 2 ICT and General

Post by sb21 » Fri Jul 30, 2021 9:57 am

Hi,

My current company is in the process of extending my Tier 2 ICT visa, COS has been assigned and I have submitted the visa application form - IHS payment will be made in couple of days. Meanwhile I got offer from another company who's ready to sponsor my Skilled worker visa. They are also in the process of assigning COS.

Now my question is -

1. Will it have any impact? Can I have 2 visa application in parallel? This is for obvious reasons, if the Skilled worker visa is rejected for some reason, I don't want to lose my current position.

2. When should I inform my current company to cancel COS/Visa etc.?

3. Have any of you faced similar situation?

Regards,
SB

No you cannot have two applications in parallel. You also cannot have two CoS assigned to you at the same time.
2. When should I inform my current company to cancel COS/Visa etc.?
Ideally before a new one is assigned.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick response.

So when I get my COS from 2nd company, I should immediately inform my 1st company to cancel my COS? But the risk is, when they cancel my COS, I'll not be able to stay in the UK, right? How to tackle this particular scenario?

P.S. I have 3 months' notice period in current company.
