Change of employment - 2 offers (urgent help needed)

Post by rajiv502 » Tue Jan 30, 2007 1:29 pm

Hi All,

I am facing a huge dilemma and need help.

I am currently working for Firm A.
I have got an offer from Firm B.

Firm B has already applied for a change of employment work permit, which should be approved in the next few days.

Now, I have received another offer from Firm C, which is a much better offer than Firm B.

How do I proceed?

Can I ask Firm C to apply for change of employment using my current Firm A work permit or new Firm B work permit?

If they apply on my current Firm A work permit, how good are the chances of getting it approved from Home Office.

If I get Firm C work permit approved, I have logically 3 work permits.
Do I need to get the Firm A and Firm B work permits cancelled necessarily?

I am in a huge dilemma and need help from all esp. the senior members and moderators.

Please reply urgently as I need to communicate my response to the employers.

I have already resigned from Firm A. Is it a wrong move?

Thanks,
Rajiv

Have you started working for firm B?

If not, since you have resigned from firm A, a new WP for firm C must be approved within 28 days.

If you get firm C's WP, it is the responsibility of firm B to inform HO that you didn't join their firm.

Technically speaking you have 28 days to sort out a new job if the old rules still apply.
Can you not extend the last day with your Firm A

Thanks a lot.
I am still working for Firm A and will continue to work till end of February, serving my notice period.

If the change of employment for Firm B is approved.
Do I need to send the Firm B work permit to Firm C for change of employment?
Or
Change of employment can be still done from Firm A to Firm C?

Am confused.

If my last date with Firm A is 28-FEB, I need to sort out all these with 28 days i.e. 28-mar. Am I correct?

I am getting a salary of 38k and the Firm C offer is 55k(London). Can the salary difference be a problem in getting work permit?

Too many questions.. i know but reply will surely help.

Regards,
Rajiv

I have raised the same question in another forum (Employment and Jobs in UK) as that is more suitable forum.
