Worked for the same employer between 2008 to 2010 until I got transferred to Tier 2 general for a new employer..

Dear Friends, Here is my scenario: 1. Came in UK in May 2008 on WP (valid for two years) 2. Got extension in May 2010 from WP to Tier 2 ICT 3.

Went back to the home country in April 2011 and got Tier 2 General leave to remain. Entered this country again in May before my old Tier 2 ICT was expired. I have two questions: 1. F...

Read Annex Point A4 Page 45 http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/pbs/tier2-guidance.pdf Thanks for your reply. Does that mean, I can have multiple COS assigned at a time.

Thanks sushdmehta

Thanks for your reply

Once you receive a new CoS from your new employer, can you take a one day appointment to get my Tier 2 Visa change of employer application. If yes, does anyone kn...
