I was a student and extended my visa towards the end of my education so I got 'Limted Leave to Remain'. No notification was received that my status changed to Visitor. College had asked for my stay for Ceremonies and presentations. The endorsements on Residence Permit said 'No work or engagement in business' which I followed. But wasn't aware that I was switched to Visitor and was happy with the permit and didn't bother asking anyone about the status. An opportunity came (short term) which required my skills and I told the epmloyer I can't work might need workpermit for the duration, which employer start to process and received it. During the processing of the Workpermit my visa was expiring so I submitted FLR (IED) and in a week after the approval of WP I got a refusal for FLR(IED).Ashwin2005 wrote: Why did they refuse your stay after granting the workpermit?
NO. I have been asked to leave 'as soon as possible' or 'appeal' within 10 working days. I tried exploring the possibilities of appealing which everyone is of opinion that its useless. Some people have told that on rejection of appeal I might not ever be given chance to enter UK. so I have decided to leave, despite pressure from my Girl friend and her family to get married and stay which seems not a very good idea under the circumstances.bani wrote:hi kammy,
is your visitor visa still valid? because if you are overstaying, that would not be good for your work visa application.
Does this mean the 'WorkPErmit Approval Letters' issued by 'Incountry TEAM' is still VALID although the FLR(IED) has been refused.Kayalami wrote:Kammy,
Your WP is valid for 6 months from issuance to get a visa.
Operational policy means you are ok to depart UK to the point of appeal or reasonably thereafter = approx 28 days. Best to proceed with travel plans as things stand.As far as 7 is concerned. I have made all arrangements to leave but my leave expired after I had sent the passport for FLR(IED) and the period of appeal will be over in couple of days.
One for you to decide really given I don't know your aspirations, sector performance etc.***I am not sure if it is worth chasing for such a short term WP?***
Same as any job search - you need a willing employer for both the role and consent to sponsor WP.***What are the hassles of switching Employer/WP? ***
Yes unless it is Tier 1 role = shortage occupations, board level, intra company transfers etc.***Does the employer have to advertise again***
Yes subject to the following - If you are on Tier 2 WP and change employer but new job is similar then new WP application processed as Tier 1 with no need for advertising.***Is it easier to switch employer ***
