What were you doing in the UK between 25th April 2018 when you left your previous employer and 4th September 2018 when you left the UK??

Thought you were going to Ireland??

No, unfortunately not as you then subsequently applied for another new tier 2 and have been in the UK till you left on a valid tier 2. Its about holding the visa, not just about working or not.muthamesthri wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 11:59 amOk Thanks Guru.
As I was not in working during that period, I thought the cooling off will apply from April 2018.
Potentially both but definitely at visa application level and you lose your fee paid. The 12 months conditions is written in the Immigration rules, there is no avoiding it and no discretion. The only time it does not apply is if you are being paid a salary in excess of £159k.muthamesthri wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 2:03 pmHi Guru,
One last query on this. Please don't be mad at me.
Just out of curiosity: If I apply for Tier 2 general before September 2019, will it be rejected at COS level or Visa application level.
I guess, this information will help me to plan the COS and Visa application dates
IMHO, you should aim for Sep 19 quota of restricted CoS and apply post that. Your Tier 2 application cannot be made before the expiry of your 12 months cool off like CR001 says. If you apply in August regardless of when you intend to start, your eligibility will be assessed on the day not in future if that makes sense.muthamesthri wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 11:21 amThanks For your reply.
I will ask my employer to wait then, if they can wait.
Can I ask my employer to post the ad in June and apply for COS (with my flight tickets and immigration stamp on my passport) in July with start date as September 10th. So that I can apply for visa in August and will be ready to start working from September 10th 2019.
I hope this is fine.
