Job change during ILR process

Post by pshanbhag » Tue Dec 08, 2020 1:00 pm

Hi,

I gave my biometrics on 20th Oct 2020 and still waiting for a decision. In the meantime I got offered another job. Can I resign my current with whom I have tier II and join another job when my ILR is getting processed? What are my options? I really don’t want to miss this opportunity. Please help- I am very anxious

Highly risky as your ILR application could be rejected if current employer reports your resignation to ukvi while your application is under process.

Best to wait until you get your ILR approval & then change job.

Try to negotiate with new employer to give you more time to accept the offer.
My advice is based on personal research/experience, so pls check relevant UKVI sources.

While an IPR application is pending, your existing tier 2 visa conditions continue. You cannot work for anyone else other than your tier 2 sponsor.

Please can you also help me answer the following-
Is there a way to find out where my application is in the process? How long is the wait? It’s been 7 weeks since my application
