Hi All
Current situation:
- US citizen
- Offer of employment received from UK employer
- Unrestricted COS issued
- Currently in the UK with a "visitor" visa as I was here on business and I stayed due to coronavirus lockdown, but I could try and fly back to US if absolutely necessary to apply for the Tier 2 Visa.
Question:
If I fly home, apply for the Tier 2 visa and pay fees, I understand I will receive immediately a Unique Application Number which I have to communicate to my sponsor (new employer). Is the COS and the Unique Application ID sufficient for me to fly to the UK and start working? Will there be any issue at the border to board the plane or on arrival at Heathrow?
The reason I ask is because in the COVID-19 guidance it says that if you already have a UK visa than needs switch or extension you can start with only the COS and Unique Application number even if your biometrics and photo have been taken and financial decision has been made.
Thanks!
