Hi everyone,
I have some questions regarding the validity of my Tier 2 visa with my current employer. It would be really appreciated if I could I have some inputs from here. Thanks!!!
I obtained my Tier 2 biometric card with my new employer. The issue date is 10th Sep 14 and start date in COS is 15th Sep 14.
As soon as I received my passport + tier 2 biometric card with my new employer, I immediately submitted my resignation to my current employer on 16th Sep 14. I am now serving the notice period and I am trying to negotiate with my current employer to shorten it.
1) The legal team of my new employer mentioned they can update the start date in COS with SMS message at any time, does it mean my current employer could actually insisted on 3 month notice as stated in my employment contract? as my new employer could update the start date in COS to from 15 Sep to 16 Dec 2014? (apparently they need to update it anyway cos it's past 15th Sep 2014 already)
My current employer wanted me to serve full 3 month notice...
2) Could I argue with my current employer that my current tier 2 with them was rendered invalid on 10th Sep 14 (issue date of my Tier 2 with new employer), and hence they should let me go as soon as possible? say...15th Oct, and then I ask my new employer to update the start date in COS?
3) What is the legal status of my old Tier 2 with my current employer? Does the legality depend on the new start date the new employer update in the COS? Or it was not valid any more ever since 10th Sep 2014 (issue date of new Tier 2) or 15th Sep 2014 (initial start date in COS) whether the start date with my COS with the new employer is updated or not?
4) Any advice on how I could leave as early as possible...?
Thanks sooooo much for any input!!
