Switch To Tier 2 General

[mannarmathai]

Hi Gurus,

I currently hold a tier 2 Visa ICT :Established staff Visa valid from 01/08/2010 till 03/08/2013 wiTh sponsor A .

i Got a job offer from a new sponsor who has completed RLM and has assigned an ubrestricted cos to me . The start date of the job was 12/Feb/2013 .

Now i have an appointment with UKBA for the switch on April 15th ( Monday ) , i have concerns on the following .

1 ) I had read all the posts regarding tier 2 switch in this forum ( thanks everyone ) and came to know that , as i have to serve 2 months notice period my start date should be atleast 2 months from the application . Hence i have asked my sponsors to change the start date . which they changed to 11/June . My question is if i proceed with the application what are the chances that UKBA will give me an earlier date ( before 12/June , which i do not want ) or is it always like from the start date .

2 ) I have a PEO appointment on monday at 12:PM , what are the chances i will get the passport back on the same day .

Really thank everyone who has contributed to this forum i wouldnt have known abt the start dates and would have run into trouble .

Quick help required as i am planning to submit my resignation as early as possible

Thanks ,
Mathai
