Issue with Work Dates

Post by shengjiTEE » Fri Jun 15, 2018 6:15 pm

Hello there,

I am currently switching from one employer to another.
The new job is a permanent position.
Under the "Work dates" section of my new CoS, the start date is 1 August 2018 and the end date is 14 September 2018. I was told that this does not matter when I apply for my new Tier 2 visa. Is that true?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Yours sincerely,
Tee

Is this correct or it's a typo from your side? As far as I know, this is not acceptable! Not even a two month period. My view is, this will have an impact on the application. If they mistakenly put that date, ask them to add a note. Again, best to wait for a moderator to add some more info too. Good luck

Ask them to add a note with a new end date. The end date with to a large extent determines the duration of visa that will be granted. Ideally, the end date should be 3 years or 5 years away, depending on how long you have already spent on Tier 2

Everybody, thanks a lot for your responses!
Yes the end date is indeed 14 September 2018.
The company has now given me another copy, with a sponsor note of the following:

Original Tier 2 granted on 12 September 2016 - 14 September 2018 via previous employer. We are looking to sponsor
X from 1st August 2018 until 11 September 2021. I can confirm that we are only looking to sponsor X Y Z and not any dependants.

Will the above be okay?
Another question is that as I am extending my current visa via a change of employment, do I need to show that I have £945 in my bank for subsistence?

Thanks a lot everybody again!

Yours sincerely,
Tee

NO need for proof of finance for extension

Thanks a lot Djsuccess!
So with the sponsor note added, will it be sufficient for me to proceed with the visa application?
The end date is still unchanged though.
Thanks again!

Yours sincerely,
Tee
