helpMeOut wrote:Hi,
I am currently on Tier 2 visa. I have completed 1.5 years on my visa (still 1.5 years left on the current visa). I wish to change jobs to a different employer willing to provide me CoS. To change jobs, will it be considered as a new Tier 2 General application or an extenstion?
You need to apply for a new Tier 2 visa. You can do it within UK.
What duration will I get the new visa for if I change jobs now? Will I still be able to apply for Tier 2 General extension to complete my 5 years towards ILR?
Depends on the duration mentioned on the new CoS. Yes, you can.
Please point me in the right direction regarding this.
