I am currently on Tier 2 General visa which expires in 2016. I am now changing Job and my new employer has issued me with a CoS expiring in March 2014.
My contract is effective from 1st February, However my current contract with my current employer is till 5 March. I can exit the contract given one month Notice.
My questions are as follows:
- Can I apply for a new tier 2 in January ?
you can apply any time within the validity of the CoS
- After I have been issued the new visa for new employer, Can I still work for my current employer? If so then how many days ? Is it 28 days ?
Assuming that the work start date in the CoS is 1 February 2014 you can work in your present job until 31 January 2014
- Since my Contract is effective from 1st Feb, Will i be allowed to apply for a new visa in Jan or will I have to wait till Feb ?
see above
- Do I have to show maintenance funds ? no
- How Long it usually takes for the visa to come ?
depends how you apply (post, priority, PEO) but lately even postal applications have been decided quite quickly - see other posts on the forum
Thank you very much for your Help. I am really struggling with these questions.
