Hi all,
I came to UK in 2006 on a WP. But I changed employer recently and the new employer applied for new WP without me sending my passport or anything.
HO said just need to apply for change of employer under same category and qualification.
The WP change was granted and I could legally work for my new employer whom I am working now.
The question is the new WP document says that I need to apply my FLR again. My new emp told me to get this done before 6 months after I have been granted this new WP which has been more than one month now. 5 months left!
I am confused because when I came here in 2006, I was never asked to apply anything from my prev employer such as this FLR thing.
I got my EC from my home country. The WP was couried over to my home country. I came to the UK without any FLR form to fill except medical checkup at the airport when I first entered UK.
Could anyone advise whether this will invalidate my WP?
This is the letter from my HR :
"HO have approved the permit for a further 60 months, however :
“Mr --- must now obtain leave to remain for the purpose of this employment. This applies even if he already has leave to remain for some other purpose or some other specified employment. This application must be made by filling out form FLR (IED). This form is available from our Distribution Centre by phoning 0117 3441471 , forms can also be downloaded from our website www.workingintheuk.gov.uk Full details are included in the guidance notes. Mr --- must make this application for leave to remain before his current leave to remain expires or within 6 months whichever is sooner. It is the responsibility of Mr --- to complete the form and pay the appropriate fee. Mr --- may now start working for you pending the outcome of his leave to remain application. This permission to work will cease if the application is refused, or if Mr --- fails to submit an application for leave to remain within the period stated above.â€
