I'm currently on Tier 2 visa with the BRP is due to expire next month. I've recently gotten married to an EU citizen who has been granted the Settled Status and I've already submitted my EU Settlement application.
I understand that I would have the right to work for my current employer, but would I have the right to work for a new employer while I'm waiting for the decision on the application?
Since you are married to a EU citizen with Settled Status you have the right to work anywhere you please in the UK, legally, and this right starts from the date of your marriage (if married in the UK) or from the date you entered the UK as married (if married abroad).
Now, as many members of this forum have found out -sometimes the hard way- is that having a right and proving that right are two completely different things. Depending on who you need to deal with (how rigorous your actual/new employer/landlord, etc is) you might or might not have an issue. In normal circumstances, a CoA should suffice for employers. Did you receive one as part as your submission for your EU settlement application, and does it confirm your right to work while you await confirmation of your status?
