Tier 2 - Change job within a company under secondment

[ashlee]

Hi all,

I have been searching all the change in job related posts within the forum, but cannot find one fits my case, therefore I am posting a new topic to ask for your wise advise.
- Thank you in advance for your time and help! Will be much appreciated!!

My Visa situation:
- I have studied in the UK for 6 years, and have been working for 2 years now, which means I can apply for the 10 year Long resident after 2 years.
- My current working visa gives me 3 years, and I need to renew it next year. One year after my visa extension, I should be able to apply for ILR.

My problem:
I am employed by an engineering firm as a graduate engineer. However, short after I join the company, I have been put under secondment for another analyst job (i.e. still in the same engineering company. but not engineer job).
The secondment was meant to be for an year --> I read in the other post, change of job under secondment does NOT need to apply for a new work permit, is it correct?
However, it is now over the agreed secondment period, but I am still working in my secondment job due to the busy workload.

My question:
1) Will this be a problem for me when I apply for my visa extension next year, that I have been doing the job which are not the title in my visa, but under secondment?
2) And because I am now over the formally agreed period of my secondment period, should I ask for a formal letter stating the extension of my secondment?
3) What are the options I have if I want to continue doing this analyst job within the same company but at the same time I don't want to risk my chance next year for visa extension.
- Do I have to reapply for a visa?
- If not, is there any documentation I need to get in order to prepare for next year's visa extension?

Thank you again for your help!

if the job that u are doing is different to what u were hired to do (notice i am talking job not job title), i.e., different soc code, then u should have applied for a new visa even if you work for same company. RLMT will need to be done as well. If the soc code is not different and it is just the title of the job which is different, then there is nothing to worry.
For extensions, if u need to change soc code, then u need to apply with rlmt.
