Thank you icon8 for your input, I know mostly the care work visa is 3 years or 5 years and you need to work for that employer, switching role or job means the 5 years route will reset.
The question is, would corporate employer be willing to employ with Care visa?
How would I be able to convince employer that I am still relevant in my profession with care job? Those are my thinking really.




While I do not know much about visas, the bolded can’t be correct - but I stand to be corrected.

Also, employers willing to sponsor you will not be particularly interested in the type of visa you currently hold, especially since you would have made it known to them that you’d require sponsorship should your application be successful. It is also easy to explain that you went into temporary care work as a foreign student, which is commonplace and therefore shouldn’t be a problem to switch back to your professional career field after your studies.

In all, I think you are overthinking things. My advice would be for you to visit gov.uk and read all available documents on the type of visa you are interested in, and all about sponsorship. Sometimes, these things are a lot easier and straightforward than we think they are. All you need is access to the right information and a plan - for which www.gov.uk should be your starting point.

If I were you, I’d take the bird in hand and carefully execute an exit strategy in 6 to 12 months - unless you are absolutely certain that the condition for that type of visa is that you cannot switch before 3 years - which I very much doubt as that would be tantamount to corporate slavery and should be illegal in the UK.

I’ll let those with knowledge of visas take it up from here, but I wish you well in whatever you finally decide on doing.

This is a big fat bloody lie @ bolded.

Believe those youtube idiots peddling falsehood at your own peril.

Switching tier 2 sponsors can never and will never reset the 5 year route to ILR

Moving from one tier to another eg. Moving from tier 2 to tier 5 is what resets the route to ILR

WOW ........ What a coincidence......... Now wey una don see eyeball2eyeball....... That his plan, don jump inside ocean.........

If I was him, I would come and negotiate..........

You need to get your lawyer send a letter to the British High commission, narrating your custody battle and progress, which would include the full names and DOB of your children etc etc etc .......

Your lawyer needs to summon your ex husband to court, so the judge can issue a temporary injunction........

Your lawyer needs to send same petition letter to NAPTIP etc etc etc ..........

Do you have a copy of your children's travelling passport......



You don't want to stop your children from travelling, but once they arrive the UK, you want to collect them?

The horse must always go ahead of the cart ..........

Make I stop for now ........... If I was him, it's time to negotiate.........

icon8:


Is the bolded a precondition for the sponsorship?

If yes, I agree with you that that’s a long time to be miserable - perhaps you could negotiate down to 1 year?

If no, could you possibly take the offer and start the clock while you look for something better in 6 to 12 months?

Hello my country people, especially those living in Scotland. I have a quick question.

Can a tier 4 visa (student) get allocated a council/social housing (Housing association) house please?
And does anyone know ANY tier-4 visa holder who has been able to successfully apply for a Council house (especially in Scotland)?

Thank you for your help.

Many people have pointed this out but also to support that this information is wrong. Please lets be careful of what we share here instead, lets put our statement like questions so that we can get our fact rights

If you believe a statement is wrong, the burden of proof is on you to provide the opposing “correct” statement.

Communication is a continuous process.

AirBay:


Is it possible to get into these professions and start earning the figures within 6months?

TheGuyFromHR:


Ralphlauren is correct.
What resets the 5 year route is when you switch visa categories (e.g. Tier 2 to Tier 4), not employers within the same visa category.
Secondly, an employer who wants you doesn't care what your current visa status is - they can employ you from outside the UK with no resident visa in the first place, so why not if you are already in-country with a visa.

Lastly, in this country, it is accepted for career paths to vary widely, a period of doing what you have to do to make ends meet while searching for something better is OK. Don't overthink that aspect.

Regarding the italicised, I thought you said you were taking certifications and all that in your [non-care related] field? Where that's the case, dont worry and be not afraid, it may surprise you but a lot of people in HR can actually read and draw relevant information from a resume and where your details fit their JDs, that could be you sorted.

Ayowolebami:


I would like to ask you a question please oga HR, does switching from main applicant on a Tier 2 visa to dependent reset the journey to ILR?

Take for instance, the husband is the main applicant but before the 5yrs journey, something happens after 3yrs and he has to switch to being dependent of his spouse who is on tier 2 sponsorship also, will the years reset or he can just spend the 2yrs on being a dependent of tier 2 to complete the 5yrs ?

yh, maybe I'm yet to see a woman that really loves u, if its common for a woman to do this, why is it so rare an occurrence that it goes unreported, the rsn is that is 0.0009% that does it and is not a significant figure, if 100 people re females and only 8 do bring their husband's or bfs abroad, do u say that a lot of women do that, No, it means that u av a 1 in a million chances that it would happen, I'm just advising him to keep an open mind, look forward to the worst and expect the best

Though I do get calls from recruiters concerning roles but sometimes because of the student visa status they may not proceed and sometimes you would not here back from them.
