change emloyment waiting for Tier 2 result

Post by ddfromsh » Thu Apr 25, 2013 11:07 am

Hi All,

I am still waiting for Tier 2 application result under my current emloyer. But I had an new job offer which is much better than my current job. As we all know that, home office normally might take ages to process this application. But I dont want to withdrawl my current Tier 2 application, as I have already paid the visa application fee by myself. And I have no idea about the new emloyers' HR, just in case, they are very crap. If i wait for my current Tier 2 application, at least, i should have the Tier 2 visa if everything is going alrite.

I am just wondering, is there any possibility to ask the new emloyer to issue the COS to me before I get my current Tier 2 visa result. Is it Ok to have 2 COS at same time?

Thanks

Sponsors assign certificates using the sponsorship management system, and you can only have one live certificate of sponsorship in the system at any one time

Agree

If you have given your personal details to a prospective sponsor and that sponsor assigns a certificate of sponsorship to you, then no other sponsor can assign a certificate of sponsorship to you during the time the certificate gives you permission to come or stay. So it is very important that you only give your personal details to a sponsor you intend to work for.
