Hi All

My fiend was on Tier 2 (employer sponsored) until 31-11-2015 but he got another job offer on in September 2014 and he switched over visa to new company on 01/10/2014.

But he worked in old company until 10/10/2014 (9 days over and he was on notice period) and get paid in account until 10/10/2014 - then he joined new company on 15/10/2014.

For ILR above situation would cause any problem for him ?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks again in advance

Why can your 'friend' not register on the forum to ask their own questions?

The Set(O) form is very clear what documents need to be submitted.

[rikleo2001]

i appreciate it - my friend is already stressed out due to working overlap even though he had legit COS - so he is going out for solicitors to get it checked - I told him that you might be wasting money hence I though I raised it with experts and seek guidance here and save him some money.

[CR001]

Many tier 2 migrants work a small overlap to serve their notice periods. It is not an issue for ILR.

[rikleo2001]

yes.. agreed as long as he got valid COS letter to cover the period which home office can see in their system.
Thank you again for your detailed explanation.

Hi,

This the thread what I was looking for. I have read some other threads and I could say I am in the same situation where notice period overlapped with my new employer COS start date.

As per the below thread it is mentioned that your cannot work with the current employer if your visa is started with the new emplopyer.

Could you please shed some light on it.

Thanks.

1. It is considered rude and unfair to the OP to tag your question onto other members topics see point 12 in the forum rule T&Cs (click). You should ideally start your own topic.

2. Many members have to serve notice and have not had any issues. The link you have posted is from 2016.

Actually if you read the sponsor guidance notes it clearly states:

23.8 The start date given on the CoS must be the date that the migrant is expected
to start working for you at the time the CoS is assigned.

If such start date for a Tier 2 (General) migrant is subsequently changed after
leave has been granted, it must be within 28 days from the later of:

• the date on which their entry clearance or leave to remain is granted
• the start date on their CoS (taking into account any changes to start date
properly reported before leave is granted)

So basically CR001 is right and there can be an overlap as long as the date you join the new employer is no longer than 28 days after your COS start date

I apologise for jumping into some random post with the related issue i'm facing. I'm a newbie to this site and didn't knew the rules. Thanks for the information provided. Very useful.
