Change of employment

Post by EAK » Wed Dec 29, 2010 3:41 pm

Dear All,

Im on WP since Apr 06 and will be applying for ILR in Apr 11.

I want to change my job in the next month.

My prospective employer is not a sponsored employer.

I will appreciate if any one could advise me that do I have to go through with the whole process of sponsorship? or what options do I have?

Regards

1. Prospective employer must register with UKBA as a sponsor.
2. When registered, the employer must issue a CoS to you.
3. You may then make an application for leave to remain as Tier 2 migrant.
