Hi friends, I am working as a Specialty doctor on a Tier 2 visa and have been with the same NHS Trust for the last 5 years. I am due to apply for ILR in a few months time. My trust wants to promote me to a Locum Consultant, is there any problem with it in relation to the ILR. Also, can it be done on...

Thanks moonlight55
Much appreciated

Hi friends, A) Is there a minimum fund requirement (in the last 90 days), for Tier 2 extension- for main applicant and dependants ? What are the documents required to show maintenance ? B) When there are 2 CoS issued from different sponsors, is it necessary to withdraw one CoS before submitting the ...

Hi,
When the CoS is issued, what is the maximum time period within which one is expected to start work - is it 3 months ?
Please clarify.
May thanks

Yes if requested the current employer would apply for a new CoS ...... if requested by who? If they don't assign a new CoS to you and you don't apply for a new visa they cannot continue employing you beyond 31 May irrespective of what notice period is written in your employment contract and if that...

Yes if requested the current employer would apply for a new CoS and would be willing to extend my employment beyond 31st May.

Thanks for the reply.
The Work dates on the CoS are:
Start date 1June 2012
End date 31 May 2015

The prospective employer is willing to give the start date 3 months in advance, however by the time the visa is sorted that would take away about a week to 15 days off from the 3 months. Whereas the current employer requires 3 months notice period. Also the end of work date on the used CoS is May 20...

It is not allowed to have 2 cos at the same time. However, u wont have 2 cos. Right now there is no cos assigned to you. The cos that was assigned to you when u applied your current visa, its status is now 'Used'. Cos is in 'assigned' state once the employer has assigned it till the visa is issued....

all u need to do is make sure the new trust issues u a cos with a start date of the start of contract BEFORE the end of your current visa. In this way, you will be able to apply for the new leave (within uk) before your current visa expires. I dont see a reason why u should resign from your current...

I haven't resigned from my current post. The current employer needs a notice period of 3 months. I do not want to resign till...
