Hi there!
Looking for an answer to my situation.
I'm currently here on a essential skills work visa (that expires in less than two weeks!!!!)
A few months ago I applied for a partnership based work visa, thinking it'd be easier and allow me to leave my employer if I ever wanted.
However, less than two weeks before my current visa expires and it hasnt been processed. I called immigration today and they confirmed it hasn't been assigned to an officer.
Now, I didn't think this was a problem since I thought I could work on the interim visa (but apparently not since I'm applying for a partnership work visa)
So, I'm thinking I'll apply for another essential skills work visa so that I can keep working on the interim visa supplied by the essential skills visa.
But, will this interfere/cancel the other visa? I.e. if I get the partnership work visa, and then the essential skills work visa comes through, will the essential skills work visa cancel out the partnership one?
My original plan was also to submit the paperwork for my partnership-based residency around this time, but perhaps it's best to wait?
Any advice is greatly appreciated as I'm a bit stressed! Thank you
