Has anyone changed jobs during their final year on a visa?I have a good offer, and I am tired of the politics and see no sign of growth. I was targeting next year after my 5 years done, however this offer came through and I am thinking about it, Only issue - I have not heard of people switching jobs in their last visa year. Is that a risky business? I have less than 1 year left, and by the time I'd make a move it should be almost 3-4 months left on the visa. Any advice would be appreciated.

Why is it risky? You'll probably hit the 5 years before the end of your probation period since it takes 3+ months to interview/get the visa transferred, 1-3 months notice, 6 months probation

Paperwork ke additional lafde chahiye to lele otherwise patience is the best virtue

What paperwork? You need letters from two employers instead of one?

Risk is something you judge during and after the interviews. There is no fixed template and people do it all the time. There are so many I know who were laid off and were forced to join other firms in last year
