I posted in another thread but thought id get more replies if i start my own.
Im currently in the UK on a tier 5 (youth mobility) visa. The company i have worked for, for the past 12 months is offering to sponsor me to stay long term (under a tier 2 general).
I know that you can not apply for tier 2 visa, whilst in the country on a tier 5. Does this mean, that i would be able to go camp out somewhere on a holiday, say France, whilst my application is being undertaken? Or do i have to go all the way back to Australia?
Also is anyone aware of how long the application process takes?
Plese help my visa runs out in October!
Thanks for the advice in advance.
