Change of employer - Notice period

[psnlb]

Hi guys,

I currently hold a Tier 2 visa and looking to change employers. My current employer requires me to give him 4 weeks notice.

I have a premium appointment on May 28 and the way I see it I should put July 1st as a start date on the CoS with new employer.
Am I right in thinking that even when I get my new visa on May 28, I am still able of working for my old employer until July 1st? Would it be an issue if UKBA destroy my old BRP?

Thanks all!

Hey,

I think so. My current job requires 1 month notice. I am also going for appointment on 18 of June. I contacted the new employer HR department. They said that they will put the COS job start date as 18 of July. Then I can tell my current employer on 18 of June. Please listen to other experienced members suggestions as well.

Good luck.

Am I right in thinking that even when I get my new visa on May 28, I am still able of working for my old employer until July 1st? yes Would it be an issue if UKBA destroy my old BRP?

Thanks all!

I am also in similar situation, the only difference being that my notice period is 12 weeks. My new employer is fine with issuing a COS with start date after
12 weeks, but not sure if UKBA will accept this?
Experts please help..
