Switching to tier 2 from tier 4

Post by Blattes » Thu Mar 01, 2018 4:10 pm

Hi,
A friend of mine is thinking to switch to Tier 2 from Tier 4, she has 2 months left until her visa expires. So she wants to know if she is still eligible to work full-time whilst waiting for her Tier 2, even if her Tier 4 visa is expired. Thanks in advance.

She can work full time if she has completed her Course

"Tier 4 students who have completed their degree and who have submitted their Tier 2 visa application can commence full-time permanent employment in the role for which the CoS has been assigned whilst their visa application is pending. The Compliance Team will require evidence that both conditions have been met before this can be authorised"

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
