In this case a new application means being assigned a new CoS, filling in the application and sending in passport, current BRP and two passport photos. No need to prove maintenance or English language as you automatically do that by being on Tier 2 currently.Lucapooka wrote:You have to make a new application from inside the UK.
awm55 wrote:Hi,
I am currently in the UK on a Tier 2 visa and have been made redundant from my employer. From what I understand I have 60 days from the date UKBA contacts me stating they have decided to curtail my leave to leave the UK, is this correct? There seems to be some confusion on this board about whether the 60 days starts from the date of redundancy or from the date you are contacted by UKBA, I need to clarify this.
Thanks.
Anyone know?awm55 wrote:Hi,

That is what I assumed. I have not heard anything from the UKBA since I was made redundant so I guess technically I can stay in the UK legally until they contact me.lawabidingimmigrant wrote:Forget about 60 days, it is not always 60 days.
Just refer to the date mentioned as "curtailed leave expiry date" on Variation of Leave letter that you will receive from UKBA shortly after ur employer notifies UKBA about ur end of employment.
Just wanted to follow up on this thread as I am under the same situation and need clarification.awm55 wrote:That is what I assumed.

Thanks Manci,manci wrote:You may not receive a letter from the HO. See page 32 here:

The 60 days start from the date the HO makes the decision to curtail, not from the date of termination of employment or the date of notification by the employer. The date of the decision is usually at least 28 days after the HO receive the notification from the employer

They may not have made their decision yet.
If you are concerned contact the HO

What do you mean by HO ?
How can I get in touch with them to make sure they have my address (and to check your immigration status) ?
Phone: 0870 606 7766
Address: UK Border Agency, Lunar House, 40 Wellesley Road, Croydon, Surrey CR9 2BY
Where do they find people address in the first place ? the sponsor must keep up to date records of all sponsored migrants incl. their home addresses
I am assuming that my employer gave them my address in the same time as redundancy notification. Am i right ? not necessarily
My employer is using the same address for all the correspondence since redundancy Have you moved since your arrival in the UK? If you have, read para 216 of the T2 policy guidance;

I am in the exact same situation as you are. Made redundant in February and have had absolutely no contact from the UKBA since then even though my company informed them of my redundancy. My leave was granted outside the UK and after May 23rd 2011 and per the UKBA requirements they have to send a letter to me stating they have decided to curtail my leave.ukbaheadache wrote:manci wrote:ukbaheadache wrote:Thanks,manci wrote:Wait and look for another job/sponsor in the meantime This is assuming the HO have your correct correspondence address

Thanks
I spent one hour on the phone with them with limited results.
They don't have my name on the system - my tier 2 was issued outside of UK - What does that means ?
it is possible that the HO office have decided to curtail my leave and i am not listed in the system ?
Should I send the change of circumstance form with my address or do nothing ?
I am checking with my employer now if they also send my address to them when informing them about the redundancy.
What's your view about that ?
That could be quite risky - if they've sent a letter that has gone missing in the post then you could end up being here illegally (as an overstayer) without realising it.awm55 wrote: My suggestion is do not contact them and make them aware of their error. The UKBA is a mess these days and its likely they don't have the administrative capacity to keep track of all these cases anymore. As long as you have not received anything from them you still have the right to stay here and look for a new sponsor.
Well the rule clearly states you have to be informed by the UKBA of their intention to curtail your leave, if you never receive a letter from them for whatever reason then you were clearly not informed and therefore are still absolutely within your rights to stay in the UK. It is not the Visa holders responsibility to inform the UKBA that they are incredibly disorganised and that they can't keep track of who they let into the country, that is their own problem...Jeeves wrote:That could be quite risky - if they've sent a letter that has gone missing in the post then you could end up being here illegally (as an overstayer) without realising it.awm55 wrote: My suggestion is do not contact them and make them aware of their error.

Can you quote a source for the rule you refer to?awm55 wrote:Well the rule clearly states you have to be informed by the UKBA of their intention to curtail your leave, if you never receive a letter from them for whatever reason then you were clearly not informed and therefore are still absolutely within your rights to stay in the UK.
The UKBA must notify Tier 2 holders of their intention to curtail leave if their leave was granted outside the UK or before a certain date.Jeeves wrote:Can you quote a source for the rule you refer to?awm55 wrote:Well the rule clearly states you have to be informed by the UKBA of their intention to curtail your leave, if you never receive a letter from them for whatever reason then you were clearly not informed and therefore are still absolutely within your rights to stay in the UK.
