thanks for the reply, this forum has always been a great help!!

team,
thank you for the responses

per dilber reply, i will not be able to work for previous employer after CoS is issued by new employer, but what if, at that time, i am still serving my notice period with prev employer?

Hi, I am planning to switch from Tier 2 to Tier 1, hence initial application. Can I show my earnings for the last 12 months from my current sponsored employer + 1 month earning working for company back home (within that 12 months)(using multiplier) while I was in holidays.
