Will the HO answer about the status of immigration?

[John2009s]

I approached a company about a new vacancy...

On seeing my current WP, they told me, they need to
talk to the HO about transferring me to their company
and my exisiting status...

Will the HO really answer my status to someone who ask
about me?

UKBA should not divulge personal details about you to a third party. But it's perfectly reasonable for the company to ring an employers helpline for advice as to whether a person with your status could be employed to fill their vacancy. Presumably they've got a Sponsors Licence? - otherwise they can't employ you anyway.

They cannot employ you if you have a work permit for someone else,you would have to apply for some other sort of leave.

You have already shown them your immigration status in any case, but I doubt UKBA would tell them about your records unless they use the Employer Checking Service:
