The government offers an online checking service for employers to verify the right to work of an employee or potential employee that has an application pending with the home office.Mili234 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 11:59 am
My problem is, my husband and I will be soon moving house and I already quit my current job because I'm moving to different city. How will I get a new job with expired residence permit? I can't rely on employers having understanding for my situation and calling Home office.
Please share your thoughts.

I'm sorry if I am asking something that was already discussed on this forum, I couldn't find an answer I am looking for.
I applied for an extension of my spouse visa yesterday in Birmingham. The whole experience seemed a little bit unprofessional and too laid back for something so serious as immigration status.
I know it's an agency but adviser should explain my rights while I am waiting on decision that might take a while.
I haven't received any document that proves my right to work while I am waiting for my visa extension. When I asked about it, they just said "Call home office".

Was anyone in similar situation?
Please share your thoughts.
They are an agency, not immigration advisors. They merely check your identity and provide biometric enrollment service.I know it's an agency but adviser should explain my rights while I am waiting on decision that might take a while.

Unlikely you will be able to get employment until you have your visa. Employers simply won't take the risk as they face huge fines etc if employing people with no proof of right to work.My problem is, my husband and I will be soon moving house and I already quit my current job because I'm moving to different city.

Your BRP card is not delivered by Post though. It is delivered by courier.Adviser did tell me that I should let know Home office when I change my address and I will redirect my mail to my new address. I won't let my new residence permit get lost.
So what is your suggestion? I will let Home office know that I changed the address.There is nothing else I can do now.
If you can't collect your post from your previous address then yes you should update your address with UKVI because many times even redirection of mail doesn't work correctly and your post still goes to old address.
Few years ago and maybe even now but rarely used to be some agencies who deliciously employ students/asylum seekers/those awaiting the outcome of their visa. These most often used to exist for very short duration with their current name & location who never bother to check their staff right of work even updating to tax authorities. Imagine if someone is working for them then do you think that you will get your payslips with correct tax and will they issue you employer letter which are the most important documents.Mili234 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 10:58 am.
During this 7 weeks, I was looking for work. I was already registered with a temporary work agency and they didn't mind checking my right to work.
I have found a permanent job with respective employer and they weren't awkward at all with having to check my right to work.
