Background Information
----------------------------
Current Tier 2 start : 01/07/2011
Current Tier 2 Expiry : 31/07/2014
Notice period for leaving Job : 3 Months
Question : If i switch job and apply for new tier 2 :
1. Will I be issued a new BRP and also retain the old BRP till I am working for the old employer( serving notice period) or when issuing the new BRP UKBA will retain old BRP ?
2. If they do retain the old BRP then how can I show valid status as the new BRP will have a future start date.
3. Current Tier 2 is for 3 years + 1 month , Extension will give me additional 2 years. If switching jobs how long will the new Tier 2 be valid for ? 3 years 1 month again ?
3. Based on the start date of 1 July 2011 when can I apply for ILR ( if i switch jobs)? Is it total 5 years under Tier 2 as changing employers does not impact this clause or switching employer impacts the 5 year duration eligibility for ILR ?
4. Is it advisable to travel outside UK after I have resigned from 1st employer but not started work with the new employer ? Can i face problems at airport ?
Thanks in advance for taking out time and replying.
