Hi all, I came to UK in 2006 on a WP. But I changed employer recently and the new employer applied for new WP without me sending my passport or anything. Presumably, you had entered the UK on a valid entry clearance endorsement (17.16) that granted you leave to enter. The entry clearance is equival...

Did you not apply for FLR when you found a new employer?

That is what I always assume, but apparently this seems a bit odd for me. I don't really understand this and really confusing.

I don't know as my new emp did all the paperwork and then they told me that the HO had approved my change of employer WP.

Can I legally work with my current emp?

Hi all, I came to UK in 2006 on a WP. But I changed employer recently and the new employer applied for new WP without me sending my passport or anything. HO said just need to apply for change of employer under same category and qualification. The WP change was granted and I could legally work for my...
