Tier 2 Visa Application Refused - Old Tier 4 Expired - HELP!

Post by VictorTT » Tue Nov 10, 2015 6:24 pm

Hi all,

I'm a national of commonwealth Trinidad and Tobago who is IN the UK. Recently (mid-September) I applied for a Tier 2 general visa under my employer. Unfortunately, my employer entered my salary incorrectly on my CoS. They required £23,000 for a 39 hour work week, my employer put forward £23,000 for a 40 hour work week. I've read where in cases like these the home office has contacted sponsors and asked whether there was a error in inputting the information, but in my case this was not done and my application was refused.

The decision was made on 3/11/2015. I received the letter yesterday 10/11/2015.
My old Tier 4 visa expired on 19/10/2015.

Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
So far, my employer is looking at the option of re-applying.
Does anyone have any experience in similar circumstances?
I really do not want to break any laws as far as overstaying, working when I'm not supposed to, etc etc.

Am I allowed to re-apply under the 'Visa Switch' process as before?
Am I allowed to work pending the outcome of my application?
As I am a commonwealth national, can I nip off to France for two weeks then return on a vacation stay for three months while I sort out my leave to remain?
