The following may help you for your second question of transfer (switching) between visa and last question about doing it from the UK..SuzMac wrote:Hello there.
So my question is:
Am I still able to apply for Tier 2 General Visa as a Graphic Designer?
If it is possible, I would also like to know about transferring from a Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa to a Tier 2 General Visa:
Am I able to make this transfer between these two visas?
Can I apply for Tier 2 General before my Youth Mobility visa ends?
Can I do this from the UK?
Hope you can help or point me in the right direction. Thanks!

The first time i applied my tier 5 had not expired yet. It does not matter because it was going to expire soon and if you get a new visa, the previous one becomes invalid. However, my employer applied for an unrestricted COS, instead of a restricted and I had no idea until it got refused. This is because they did not realize that you cannot switch from a tier 5 to anything.
Then they filled in the paperwork wrong it got rejected in the september allocation because they only get allocated on the first working day after the 10th of each month.
Finally I got it in October, I paid for priority and I had the whole visa done and back to me in a a week and a half. Because it is not the busy time, it was very quick to get an appointment and I had no issues.
I got mine approved under shortage, if your not you need to make sure the RLMT has been done correctly and all the details are in correctly. Mine should have been shortage in September but they were not specific in the work details and job description and it was rejected.
Kindly start your own topic with your circumstances and questions rather than digging up a thread from 2015, whose posting members are no longer active on the forum.CeddyAndy wrote: ↑Tue May 01, 2018 4:20 pmI see you said you tried to apply for the Tier 2 while your Tier 5 was still active, how long in total were you out of the uk before you were able to get sorted, and if you could give an estimate on time if all paperwork is sorted correctly before i would have to leave the uk to reapply.
