Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me with my question. I hold one of these 27 month partner visas - and I understand that you cannot apply for ILR until 28 days before your 2 year qualifying period is up - which isn't for another 3 months. I want to start a new job, and the employer insists that I have a visa thats good for 1 year at least. Obviously this would be no problem in 3 months time, but they can't wait that long. Seeing as you can't switch to ANYTHING (ie tier 1, tier 2) from a partner category, is it possible to apply for a second temporary visa on FLM(R) prior to the end of my qualifying period so that I can produce a visa with dates acceptable to my employer? I contacted the UKBA about this but they didn't seem to understand what I was getting at and just sent me back a cut-and-past copy of the immigration rules...
Thanks, any help/advice would be appreciated.
