I am currently on the Tier 5 Visa, my work have received the certificate of sponsorship for me to change over to the Tier 2. I have two queries;</p><p>1. Can my employer give me the Certificate of Sponsorship number (they received it the 11th of this month) so I am able to make the appointment online in order for me to book flights home to Australia after making the interview in order to cut time in being away from my job etc.</p><p>2. Could you please explain, "You will need to specify your entry date to the UK – this can be up to two weeks before the start date specified on your certificate of sponsorship.."</p><p>What effect does this have?</p><p>Thank you for your wonderful guide!</p>BRobertsSat, 19 Mar 2016 16:36:29 -0000
