redundant from Teir-2 general visa

Post by vungaralas » Fri Oct 24, 2014 1:43 pm

Hi,

Currently I'm on teir-2 general visa but unfortunately I have been served redundancy notice for one month.
So officially I have 30 days time to be with my current employer, then I will get notified to the Home office.
In this case as of my knowledge and research, Home office will write a letter to me stating that within 60 days I should plan for my alternatives. Is this right?

Actually I can apply for a teir-1 entrepreneur visa as I already started planning for it. I'm just waiting to run my 90days statement.
And I have left with 60 days to go to reach that 90 days.

As I have a 30 days notice period from my employer so total 60 days, I don't have a problem, including home office 60 days (if this is true) notice time I think I will be safe. Can anybody advise me are these all right?

And I would like to travel to back home now as I don't have to go to work this month and I have to plan for teir-1 entrepreneur from my back home like funds gathering, business planning etc But I will make application from inside UK only. (with £50,000 option)

And I will come back to this UK, by the time my statement gets ready ( 90 days balance maintenance) but Im confused would it be hassle free decision?

Legally I will have a letter from Home office stating that 60 days planning time for my visa or leave the country?

Would it be a problem in airport when I turn back to UK?

Can somebody clarify my issue as I have to travel now ?

your sponsor must inform UKVI within 10 days after your employment has ended. UKVI will then write to you curtailing your leave to 60 days from the date of their decision (not from the date of the termination). Make sure they have your current home address.

Once your leave has been curtailed you cannot return to the UK on that visa, so travel during the notice period if you can and make sure your employer doesn't report the termination earlier than the end date of your employment.
