Hi All, I am seeking your kind advice on my change of employment application.
I am currently on Tier 2 visa, and I have been offered a job by a company which just obtained its Tier 2 License. The company conducted a RMLT before it applied for Tier 2 license. And in its license application the company indicated that they identified me through the advert they placed for the RMLT as the most suitable candidate.
They explained to me that when they applied for the license, the HO requested evidence of RMLT. i.e. CVs, interview notes. Copies of the ads etc and HO also conducted a compliance visit, and the license was eventually granted.
Now I am planning to submit my application, and I doing so, do I need to submit any evidence of the RMLT with my application? If not, then I assume the HO will either be happy with whatever was submitted during the license application phase, and no need for further evidence. Or do you reckon they will ask for it before they make a decision on my application? Or when do the HO ask for evidence of RMLT? I am assuming that the company automatically receives 1 UCOS with the granting of the license? (I will double check)
Another point is that I have a 2 months no compete clause in my contract and so to ensure that I do not cause any issue for myself or my new employer, we thought it would be best to have the starting date on the COS two months following the end of my one month notice.
Here is the ideal scenario in my opinion (please correct me I am wrong in any of my assumptions):
An application for change of employment is made via Super priority service, in which case a decision will be made within 24hrs or so, and I should wait few days to receive my new BRP.
Once received, then I would submit my resignation on 1st Oct, and serve my one-month notice, which would end on 30th Oct.
-Can the start date on COS be 31st Dec 2019? In this case I would not be breaking the 2 months no compete clause, and I can safely start working with my new employer on 31st Dec ?
Also, I wanted to confirm that by doing so I would not be breaking the continues period for the ILR. As I read that the 60 days gap rule has been removed, so this should not affect me.
Also, my understanding is that my employer will notify the HO once I submit my resignation to inform them that I have started serving my notice. The HO will then issue a curtailment letter, which as I have been reading might take time to be sent to me, and once received it will give me 60 days to leave the country. In my case I will have the new COS kicking in within the 60 days so I should ignore this letter in case I ever receive it,
And finally, for whatever reason if my application is rejected, what will happen to my current leave, will my visa be curtailed? Note that I will not be submitting my resignation until i receive the BRP.
Sorry for the lengthy thread, I hope I made my questions clear here. Super grateful for your kind help guys!
