about start date of tier 2 (change employer)

Post by g_strings » Tue Aug 16, 2011 2:26 pm

Hi, guys,

I am currently under Tier 2, and will change my employer. I have got a new CoS from the new employer, but the start date is a bit early than the realistic start date. It is unlikely that I can obtain a visa before the start date indicated in the CoS.

I am a bit concerned when I should notice my current employer of leaving. Am I allowed to work for my current employer until my new Visa is issued, even it is after the started date as specified in the new CoS?

Many thanks. Please help.

it looks like there have been discussions before, but with different opinions.

Could anyone help here? If possible, please let me see the official source of information.

g_strings .... i think you are quoting out-dated info in those threads....

its best if OP looks into new rules to decide best course of action
