Parish1,
I am getting different answers from my consultant and from this forum for some of my queries, which are really worrying me. Could you please clarify these:
This is because we (forum and your representatives) have conflicting details about your situation - IMHO your post has too many holes..not sure what you are trying to do but playing the immigration system is risky business (no offense meant).
1. Currently I am working on the work permit and have applied for HSMP. After I get HSMP and FLR(IED) approval, will the Home Office inform about approval of FLR(IED) and cancellation of current work permit to my current employer even if my employer does not contact them. I am worried that my employer may create problem if they come to know about it.
Do we have an umbrella situation here? Why would HO contact current employer unless they wanted to verify your employment details...remember you gave them your consent. If they are satisfied with the quality and integrity of the documentation submitted they don't contact your employer unless for quality control basis i.e. the answer is they may or they may not.
2. Consider a case that I leave my current job, EITHER during the period, when my application for FLR(IED) is under processing OR after FLR (IED) is approved. Then when my current employer informs Home Office to cancel my work permit, will they be informed by the home office that work permit is already cancelled and the person has switched over to HSMP?
Once you your HSMP FLR(IED) application is submitted or approved why would the HO contact your employer? I see no reason why they would. As per a previous response your current employer should update the HO if/ when you leave their employment.
3. If I leave the job immediately after HSMP approval. Will it affect my FLR(IED) approval, as work permit is valid for only 28 days more. Will my FLR(IED) get processed in priority in this situation?
You should not leave your job before the HSMP FLR (IED) is submitted. I see no reasons for priority processing other than those published by the HO.
4 During the period when the passport is submitted for FLR(IED), if I have to go overseas for the company visit will HO return the passport immediately?Will they return the passport with or without the approval?
Why would you be going overseas? It seems there are issues with your employment? If you ask for your passport back for travel reasons prior to FLR IED approval and stamping then the entire application is classed as abondoned. Unless you intend to use such a visit as reason for 'urgent' treatment..see HO criteria for such.
I note your original post has been edited twice - I recall the initial post asking about acquiring a 2nd passport to facilitate your travel whilst the other one was with the HO for FLR IED processing - sorry this is illegal/ misrepresentation..how can you vary leave when you are not in the UK?
