Dear All,
I am on Tier 1 (general) VISA valid unitl August 2012. Currently, I am working using this VISA and my work contract will end in July 2012.
At the moment, I am applying for other jobs (contract for 2 or 3 years usually). If I have been offered a job with a contract of 2 years starting for example in Feb 2011, Which VISA should I use? Can I stay at my current Tier 1 (general) VISA until August 2012 then apply for Tier 2 (general)? (assuming Tier 1 (general) extension will be closed in April 2011, until now nobody knows). Will the home office accept this or the does the job need to be adveritsed again before applying for Tier 2 (general)?
or shall I ask the employer to help get Tier 2 (general) for me from the start of contract (but this will limit my work with this employer and cannot stay in UK longer to search jobs)?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
