Hi everyone,
Please, I need serious advice on my situation and I'm really panicking as i am typing these messages. PLEASE HELP ON REASONABLE ADVISE (i will try as much to be brief).
I have a Tier 2 visa and i started working for my company in July last year in the Uk. In November 2014, Their licence was revoked and my employer ONLY said they are having issues with the UKBA and that they are doing everything to resolve the issue and get their licence back.
So I continued working as ususal, but in April 2015 a work colleague of mine called me that he just recieved a letter of curtailment, Immediately, i went to check my post and also check my email and spam messages but nothing was there. So the following day i spoke with my employer and they advised me to start looking for another sponsor and that my letter will come anytime.
I started looking for sponsors and it was really a diifficult situation as i applied for many jobs and no call or I got one interview but wasnt successful. I became depressed, sad and was thinking about what to do. It was already 2 months from when my work colleague called me about his letter and still I havent recieved mine and I kept checking my post,emails and spam messages both day and night but nothing. I have already stopped working for my employer since they informed me about the situation and im depending on my spouse.
In July, was very confused about my situation so i decided to call the HO about what was happening and the person i spoke with on the telephone check her system (she confirmed my postal address) and said they have not send me any letter. She said i should start looking for other sponsor while i wait for my curtailment letter or If I'm very worried, I should write the Curtailment Team about the situation.
At that time, I decided to consult a solicitor and the solicitor however advised me that it is a bad idea to write the HO curtailment IF I DO NOT HAVE ANY NEW SPONSOR or any other plans at that time. So I did not write the HO.
In August, I called the HO once again because i had the thought that the letter may be lost in transit or something, they said same thing the i heard when I called in july. while everything was happening, I still continued to look for sponsorship.
To my Suprise, I called the HO in October and they said there was no way they could know if I have been sent any letter and that they do not have the system to confim that.
Now, One of the Organisations i have applied to in time past are willing to take me on board and i have eplained all the situation to them.
MY QUESTIONS ARE:
1. Have I overstayed aready or illegal at the moment as it been 8months now?
2. Should I just continue with this New Company process of Application
3, I feel very confused and shattered, Do i just write the HO after all, its been 8 months of no letter?
4, I JUST DO KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE, PLEASE ,,,,I NEED ADVISE
