Hi

i applied for Tier 2(general) leave to remain for change of employer in the beginning for this month. i used the 'extend' option online within UK. I got an email fron UKVI, sheffield saying that they recieved my application and mentioned 'I am writing in relation to your application you have submitted for leave to remain under Tier 2 General in the United Kingdom on the basis of employment with 'Employer' and application reference number xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx/00'. And they reqested few non-mandatory documents if they are applicable for me to ease the processing time.
But the employment they mentioned with 'Employer', is my current/the employer i am leaving !
I assume this a mistake by them ? i replied saying that i applied for change of employer, not with this employer which is my current employer and uploaded the application that was submitted.
Can this type of mistakes happen? did it happen to anyone? or is this a mixup from my previous application for extenson under my current employer which i did in december 2019?

Thanks.

I am also changing employer. What I understand from HR, it will be a new Application (Not extension) and dependants need not to apply at same time, they can extend their VISA once it gets over for them.

Hi
people are confused of this, if you see above the first reply i get from this post is that i have to make new application, not extend, !, yes, it is a new application, within UK if you have to fill a Tier 2 G application the only link avialable is within the Tier 2 G ext/swtich page. if you go to that application link it is the same application either to extend or switch. And to change employer, 'new application' within UK in this context means, you have to fill that same application with new sponsor details and submit. There is no seperate application that you can fill specifically for changing employer. I beleive your CoS will say that your T2 (general-changes in employment-isc..) which says that you are changing employers.
Thanks

The form asks for the CoS details. Nothing is automatic.

You need to give the appropriate number of the CoS you have been assigned.

Hello,
I don't think anyone here would know the answer. Maybe you can call the home office about your query.
Thanks.

yes, i called the UKVI number and asked them and they said they cannot see the application and have to wait for them to reply, which doesnt help me.

How come can they not see your application?
When I made my first tier 2 application, i called them and gave my application number and stuff and they advised me of its decision status. If the HO cannot give you the answer, I doubt if anyone here knows what's going on as we cannot see the application and etc. Sorry.

The UKVI contact numbers can only tell you the status of your application, they cannot see inside your application, they can see your application status. thats what they did to you. They can only tell you the status, that too, wheather your application has been descided or still pending, thats it, nothing else. anyhow, i started to beleive that it is their mistake as i dont see anything wrong with my application.

Hi just wondering if you have received any feedback from UKVI?

I also applied to change tier 2 employers via the extension page. As far as I understand, "switch" means to switch from another category (e.g. tier 1, tier 4, etc), not to switch from another employer. Besides, the application link on both extension and switch pages lead to the same page, and on that page, it states "Apply to extend or switch to remain in the UK under Tier 2 (General)". I don't remember there is any option during the application process regarding whether we extend or switch? So I think we should have done the correct thing.

I received an email from the W&S team to request a mandatory document literally a few minutes after posting my last reply. They mentioned the correct employer name in their email, so perhaps provide some evidence for the above Hope this helps!
