Hi all. I had posted a similar topic under the ILR forum but recent developments may make it more appropriate for this one.
My wife an I have been in the UK for almost 5 years now under a Tier 2 general migrant visa sponsored by my current employer.
I had a job interview at another place yesterday and, if it all goes well, they'll want to take me. I told them that I was applying for the ILR in October but they seem eager to have someone starting ASAP. I'm quite keen on that job so I wouldn't want to miss out on the opportunity.
Actually, they had already approached me 1.5 years ago. Back then they said that they would take care of the visa and everything but my current employer made me a counter offer and, to be honest, at the time I valued the stability to get me to the 5 years/ILR more than anything else so I stayed.
Has anyone switched jobs under a tier 2 visa? Is it feasible? Any potential risks? Also, any potential implications for my impending ILR application?
Thanks!
