I'm currently sponsored on a T2 visa at my company and reside in the UK. I've recently signed an offer of employment somewhere else, and my sponsorship application is being submitted through retained immigration lawyers at the new company.
The earliest biometric appointment the lawyers were able to secure was June 8th. I'm due to start at the new company on July 26th, I've got a 2 months notice so this would delay my start date by a few weeks.
Speaking to the lawyers, they said it should be a straight forward application as I meet all the criteria and if they were in my shoes, they would proceed with resigning to meet the start date as the company is very serious and has paid all the fees associated with the application. However, I know the current advice is to stay put until the new visa is in hand prior to resigning.
I'm tempted to resign to meet the start date, but as well don't want anything going wrong during the process and leaving me in a pinch. Would anyone have any advice?
Is there also a significant implication if anything goes wrong in the process? Understand I may have 60 days when my current visa gets cancelled, but would they be able to sort it in that time? Weighing up options as resigning to meet the July 26th makes life much easier
