Previous Tier 2 visa was cancelled and returning to the UK on new work Visa

Post by eran86 » Wed Jan 06, 2021 6:42 pm

Hello everyone,
I was on a Tier 2 visa for 2 years in the UK. However, I had to leave because my sponsor lost his license. My sponsor was an umbrella company and at the time I didn’t know it was wrong practice according to UKVI ( I know there is a lot of discussion around this :-) ). My sponsor verbally told me about losing the license but there was no curtailment letter. However, at the same time, I got a good job offer outside the UK and I left the UK. I need to know a few things about the situation as I have been offered a job in the UK (not by an umbrella company this time and I made sure that) and want to come back.

1. When I checked UK government Tier 2 sponsor’s list I could see my sponsor on January 23rd but had been downgraded to B rating. I left the UK on 3rd March in the same year. Therefore, I don’t think I have overstayed because Tier B means current employees visas are still valid. Is that correct?

2. I also want to know whether there is any penalty for employees in this scenario? Such as stopping them from entering the UK again on a work visa.

Thanks in Advance.

You should be fine if you did not receive a visa curtailment letter and left the UK before visa expiry.
Any suggestions I make in the forum are out my personal experience and should not be taken as a legal/professional advise.

Thanks poper.

While going through some posts in the forum I read some had the same experience. Just wanted to know whether they faced any issues getting a new work visa done.
