Hi, I hold a Tier 1(Post study work) visa which expires in Feb 2014. I am required to switch to Tier 2 general. I meet the salary criteria and job title. My employer holds a sponsporship licence. The issue they told me is that, they have only 3 certificates left and they do not want to assign it to me now and they want to wait until December to make a decision. I tried convincing my employer that they will be able to add more certificates if needed, but they deny saying it involves lots of paperwork. What could I possibly do in this situation. Around 3000 people work in my company and I found baffling that they have only 3 certificates.
