Tier 2 Job Switch when eligible for ILR
Posted: Tue Sep 01, 2020 11:37 am
Hi all,
I have been holding Tier 2 visa for 5 years hence got eligible for ILR.
I have also agreed with my employer to move to a new role which requires SOC code change (hence new TIer 2 application)
Because of uncertain processing times for ILR applications (due to Covid up to 8 months) and in order to start the new role asap i have decided to apply new Tier 2 instead of submitting ILR application.
Am I ok with doing that providing total time on Tier 2 does not exceed 6 years in total?
Thanks a lot in advance!
