T2 Change of employer-one week less visa

Post by jvjroop » Thu Aug 06, 2020 1:11 pm

Hi all
i have applied recently for changing employer on T2G. This is now granted. But it was 1 week less time than the previous one.
the previous visa was until 29/09/2021 which is 6 years as i have entry clearance from 29/09/2015. But the current one is one week less (7 days less) than 6 years?
my cos was until 28/09/2021.

Should I request them about it? or as it is just one week doesn't matter?

Thanks

Hi raj_262920

They will give visa based on your CoS work end date + 2 weeks. I don’t think you wait for 6 years anyway.

Could you please let us know when did you submit your application and when did you get response from the UKVCAS. That helps lot of people.
Thanks

Any reason you cannot look at the in country timeline topic before asking for duplicate information to be posted again??

Hi Raj,
i posted in the in-country time lines about my visa, have a look.

ya, i will not wait 6 years for appling ILR. Its just that why did they give a week less. My CoS end date mentioned was 27/09/2021. So i expect them to give visa untill 28th or atleast 27th, but they gave a week less. is there a specific reason for that. i thought its not randon choice but relates to the 6 year stay which will be 28th sept 2021 and the CoS.

Sorry CR001. I didn’t notice that topic till now. Thanks for sharing the link.

Hey Raj, as long as visa valid I don’t worry.
