Being under Tier 1 gives you the flexibility to work for any company. But if you switch to Tier 2, you can work for that company only and if that company fires you, you might have to leave UK.asiljon wrote:Hi All,
Currently I have Tier 1 (General) valid untill september 2012. I am working for Uk based company. This company has possibility to sponsore me under Tier 2. Due to changes in Tier 2 after 6 April 2011 I am thinking about requesting my employer to get Tier 2 for me. In this view questions:
1. When it is better to do this? Before new rules come into force or after?
2. If I will switch to Tier 2 before new rules come into force will 5 years restriction apply for me or not?
Thanks,
that is such a sweeping statement...asiljon wrote:http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary
As I understand from above document Tier 2 applicants after 6 april 2011 can be granted a visa for 5 years total (3+2) and will not be permitted to apply for ILR after 5 years. Could someone say whether my understanding correct or not?
For now, this restriction (not eligible for settlement) will apply only to Tier 2 (ICT) migrants applying for leave on/after 06-Apr-11.asiljon wrote:As I understand from above document Tier 2 applicants after 6 april 2011 can be granted a visa for 5 years total (3+2) and will not be permitted to apply for ILR after 5 years.
