Hi Guys,

i am in Tier 2 (employer Sponsored) for almost 2 years as a web designer. as a new entrant.

i found new employer who is willing to sponsor. i don't know the process for switching.

2. can any one please post links for the relative application forms and Guidance notes ??

please mention if anyone knows the Time lines for switching.

Many Thanks
Praveen

RLMT is required to switch from T2(G) to T2(G).

I don't know what links you're looking for but perhaps this?

Its got a link to 'guidance' as well.

As far as I know, no requirement for Maintenance or English Language required and you will need a restricted CoS.

T2(G) to T2(G) switch from within UK does not need a restricted CoS. An unrestricted CoS is fine.

Thanks for the reply.

I am waiting for the RLMT to finish since it has been only 2 weeks since they advertised the job. once the 28 days are over is there any RLMT proof that my new employer need to submit before they generate COS ?? or anything that i need to carry to show UKBA when i went to one day visa.



Thanks in Advance.

Nothing specifically to be done. There's a placeholder for providing URL for the job application while generating the CoS. Otherwise, nothing from your side. Home office will do their own verification in the background and if any doubts, they will contact the employer to send the relevant documentation or make a visit to their office for verification.
