I am in a lot of confusion due to a present situation of job redundancy. I have been employed for company A for a bit over 3 years under Tier 2 General. By the end of June 2018, I received a conditional job offer from company B and I accepted it. During the week of 9th July, I have been in touch with company B's immigration advisors for issuance of CoS and tier 2 change of employment visa application. Unfortunately, on last Friday (13th july) I got a news from company A that I am on high risk of redundancy. I believe that I shall be made redundant by coming Friday with a notice period of 2 months to serve with company A (but I can leave company A anytime during the notice period, if I get another job). The good news is that company B shall be starting to apply my visa hopefully from next week or the week after. By the time company B starts my visa application, I may or may not have entered the redundancy period - I am not sure because we have to agree on the settlement. The settlement agreement shall be given to me on Friday and that, due to legal matter, may take a couple of days to sign. My question is, do I have to inform company B about my potential redundancy? Would this affect my Tier 2 change of employment visa application? Can I be serving the redundancy notice period and apply for change of employment visa?
I am confused if this shall be taken up as something negative by company B - my redundancy is not due to any disciplinary action it is all due to company's financial problems.
... I am emotionally hit as well, hope you'll understand. I would really appreciate help and advice.Kind Regards
