I sent my application for HSMP extension into Tier 1 on 7th June, 2010. The fees has been deducted and HO has sent me a letter confirming receipt of applicaiton.
I have been with my current employer ever since I came to this country, so salary slips, statement of earning, P60 etc are all from Current employer. To show UK experience I also attached a letter of employment from my current employer. All very well till now.
Complication is that - I have been offerd a job by another employer. The job prospects are excellent and I have made up my mind to take it up. However, can resigning from my current employer have an un-favourable impact on my applicaiton? Should I wait to get the result back or should I go ahead? My next employer is happy to get me a work permit but ideally i would like to not jeapaordize my Tier 1 visa, at all!
I could not see a clause preventing job change in extension guidance notes and in principal HSMP never ties you to a particular employer. I searched this forum for a similar problem and could only locate a very old post and not sure if the answer is still valid. BUT In the decalaration section of HSMP I can see that
Can the experts on this forum please help me out? The job is the one I have been working to get for years and it'd be a shame if I have to let go of it due to an application being processed.If there is a material change in my circumstances or any new information relevant to my application becomes available before it is decided, I will inform the UK Border Agency.
Also - even if I resign tomorrow, I will be serving a notice period of 30 days, which means that within the next 30 days I will still be an employee of my current employer.
Thanks in advance
