Sponsor license revoked - 60 days

Post by KINGSTON1 » Thu Jun 30, 2016 1:39 pm

Dear Members,

I would be grateful if someone can please advise on the following questions.

I am on a Tier 2 "General" and unfortunately my sponsored licence has been revoked on 10th June 2016.

I started working for the sponsored employer since July 2014 and my Tier 2 Visa is valid until June 2017.
(My Mrs is my dependent on the tier 2 and our 5 months old (born in the UK) child is not on a visa yet)


My questions are: -

1. The employee's 60 days period starts from the time, the Home Office revoked the company licence (means started from 10 June 2016) ?

2. Or the 60 days period will start from the date of the curtailment letter which I have not received yet.

3. Is it mandatory for Home office to issue curtailment letters to everyone whose visa validity is more then 6 months period? (Any Reference)

I did ask a couple of lawyers & immigration advisers, some said that you will receive the 60 days curtailment letter by all means and others are saying it is a grey area and the 60 days starts from the date of revocation of the company???

4. Am I allowed to work for the company until I receive the 60 days period ?


Please advise.

Thanks

Kingston

Dear tckraju,

Thank you for your response but the link doesn't provide provide exact information as to when the actual 60 days period start?

It is stated that visa is limited to 60 days (or however long you have left on the visa if it’s less than 60 days).

But started from when ? Revocation or curtailment letter date?

I have tried exploring all available policy guidance and even immigration rules but couldn't find exact answer about the60
days start of period.

Please help, thanks
