I now decide to apply to vary the grounds of my initial application.
Please advise at which point I can legally start employment. Is it from the time I post the new Tier 2 (General) application form? If this were an initial application I know I could start employment after I have posted the application, not sure if this is still the case if I now make an initial application for a non-employer-sponsored category and then vary the grounds of the application to change to Tier 2 General? Links to any official document will be particularly helpful. This is incorrect. You can only start a job under T2 once you have UKBA's approval of your T2 application.
My passports, police registration certificate, degree certificate (for language) and bank statements (for maintenance, still within 31 days of the "new" application) have all been sent along with the initial application. Can I safely assume that the UKBA will refer to my initial application for these documents? I will, of course, write a covering letter explaining this. I have no experience in variation applications but it seems to me that you have no choice. You may wish to consult an immigration advisor.
Please help me manci. Anyone else with any idea, please advise. Thanks so much guys!!!
Is there evidence of this? I have always been under the impression that one may start working as soon as he makes the application. May I also refer you to this post which you have also been active in: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... &view=nextmanci wrote:hatcag wrote:Please advise at which point I can legally start employment.

In the light of your suggestions I have now decided to wait for the Entrepreneur visa to be granted before making a fresh application.manci wrote:from the T2 policy guidance;
193. It is recommended that you do not commence employment until you have received your biometric residence permit (BRP). However, on the basis of your approval letter, if you and your sponsor agree to commence the employment before you have your BRP both you and your sponsor carry the risk of having no statutory excuse against a civil penalty if the BRP card is incorrect or withdrawn by us. You can continue working for your previous sponsor until the start date on your new Certificate of Sponsorship, provided your previous leave has not expired.
Also, the employer would be in breach of sponsorship rules if they employed you without having evidence of your entitlement to work including the period of your leave to remain.
