Tier 2 General in country application RLMT is completing 14 days after current tier 2 expiring with previous employer

Hi All,

I have a very quick question about acceptable RLMT for tier 2 general in country application (unrestricted COS).

My current visa is finishing on the 15th August 2018 and my current employer is not renewing my visa because of salary requirement from new entrant to experienced hire. I have received another offer from a new employer who is currently completing RMLT. RMLT is going to be completed on the 27 August 2018.


Can I apply for FLR o application with the offer letter because of the timings, withdraw the application and replace is with Tier 2 General once RMLT is completed after two weeks?
Am I safe to proceed with application based on above??? Please advise ASAP. Thanks in advance

with the offer letter

I think this is not a good idea. This makes you a pre-selected candidate. Isn't it? The RLMT is not completed and you've got an offer letter before the RLMT completion. Not logical I guess!

Thank you for your message. Its an unfortunate position that I am in. My employer only informed me 18 days until my visa was expiring and my wife is giving birth the same day as our visa is expiring.

Very complicated situation but got an offer yesterday so trying to get more clarity.

I know the stress in this. Wishing you every luck to make this a success.

Can't you apply for FLR without the offer letter and as soon as you've got the COS, vary to a T2 application? (I have no idea whether this gonna work or not)

Best to wait for CR001 (Or another moderator) to step in and help.
