Switching to a new job Tier 2 (General)

[Khulood]

Dear All,

i am looking for an immediate advice on the following matter.

i am currently under the Tier 2 (general) work permit as a mechanical engineer in the oil and gas industry, i have been working in the UK for 4 years, my role have always been in the Shortage occupation List, i have found a new job but the new role is not in the shortage occupation list.

My question is: can i switch job inside the UK from shortage occupation list to NON shortage Role.

Your speedy answer is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Khulood

Your new employer has to do the RLMT and should know the process. This must be done before you can be offered the j9b or a CoS.

That's great.

Thank you for your support.
