Hello everyone,
I would like to get a clarification on the conditions for switching from a Tier 4 to a Tier 2. I have a UK masters degree but decided to proceed to a PHD after not getting a job. Now in my first year of my Phd (on which my current Tier 4 visa is based), I get a Graduate Job based on my Master degree qualification. Is it possible to switch at this point from my Tier 4 to the Tier 2 visa if the company is willing to sponsor?
In any case i will have to quit my Phd but my real question is: Is it the case that switching to Tier 2 from Tier 4 can only be done after completing the specific program on which my current Tier 4 is based or it really doesn't matter as long as I have a Tier 4 and a new Tier 2 employer willing to take on my sponsorship, without completing the degree for which I got my current Tier 4? Also, is it possible that my University sends a letter to home office if I want to quit my degree thereby preventing the switch?
Anyone with experience or ideas in this area, I will appreciate your inputs. Thanks!
