Post by MtlTracy » Wed Jan 21, 2009 4:15 pm

I am currently in the UK on a work permit with leave to remain until Feb 2013. I am changing employers. My new employer has obtained a sponsorship certificate for me. I have the number. I have submitted my Application for a Grant of Leave under Tier 2 application. What I want to know is can I begin working for my new employer while my application for leave is pending?

Until such times as you receive confirmation that your tier 2 visa has been approved you will not be able to work for your new employer. They can not / should not employ you until you have the visa grant in any event.

Are you still working for your "old" employer at the moment?
