Apply for multiple Skilled worker visas

Post by balabe89 » Fri Jan 28, 2022 1:39 pm

Hi,

The Situation is .. I work as a part of companyA and my ICT visa has maxed out (60 months) so now they are processing my Skilled worker visa and my biometrics is on Feb 17th.
Now i've got an offer from companyB which should also provide me with sponsorship and apply for the skilled worker visa from their end. So is it possible for me to apply for multiple Skilled worker visas at the same time or should I wait for the first company's visa process to complete and then apply for the next one ?

if i need to wait then till what time should i wait (i.e.) till i get an email from uk immigaration that visa is accepted or till i receive my brp card?

Anyones help would be much appreciated. Thanks !!

No. You cannot have multiple applications or multiple active CoS at the same time.

No, it is not, you can only have one live CoS at any time.

Now i' ve got an offer from companyB
If you prefer the job at company B there are two options:
1
Withdraw your current visa application (fee will be refunded) and ask company A to withdraw your CoS. The risk is that you may fall between two stools if company B doesn't assign a CoS to you.
2
Wait until your current visa application is approved, then ask company B to assign a CoS to you and make a new visa application.

Notice to company A is a separate issue.
