Hi CR001, I have a quick question. I was on tier 4 general student visa from 2015 to 2016 and then I switched to tier 2 but I left my job in May 2017 and came back to my country. Though, the cooling off period is complete and I can apply for a fresh tier 2 but just for the clarification, does coolin...

Hi,

A quick question. Does travelling to UK on a visitor's visa and on tier 5 would interfere with my cooling off period for tier 2 ?

Thanks!

Hi, I was in a similar situation. 1. No, you do not breach any immigration law whilst your stay after your employment. The issuing of the curtailment letter can take even up to 8 months and hence, you do not break any law. 2. Once you leave the UK, the home office is intimated of your departure and ...

Hi, Thanks for the information. I have an idea about this but I read in one of the posts on this forum that tier 2 cooling period can be skipped if the job is in the shortage occupation category. But the information here is very general and does not consider the SOC. Also, I applied to work with a d...

I am wondering that do I need to serve the cooling off period in this case or can it be skipped? If it can be, the...

Yes, the link you have provided states that a sponsor can be a higher education institute and can sponsor a tier 5 visa. Therefore, I was wondering is there any other requirement for that visa ? As in my understanding suggests that in the cooling off period one cannot apply for the tier 2 visa but c...

Hi, My name is Rahul and I was working in London on a tier 2 visa which I switched from tier 4 after my studies. My current leave was curtailed as I finished my employment earlier and the leave ends on January 5, 2018. But I'm flying back next week. Since the visa was curtailed, the cooling off peri...

Hi, My name is Rahul and I am in UK since 2015. I was initially on Tier4 but after finishing my studies, I switched my visa to tier2 (general). After a few months, I left my job and the curtailed leave ends on January 5, 2018. Now, I am confused that if I will be able to get another job in the short...
