How to join a new employer on a new visa while a labor case is ongoing?

Hello,

I have an ongoing labor case with my old employer for unpaid salary. I also have an offer letter from another company.

Can I start a new job on a new visa while the labor case is ongoing?

What is the process I need to follow?

Hi,

Yes, submit a request to the judge to obtain a work permit and cancel the old company visa.

Hi questioner,

Yes, you can join the new company by making an application at the court for NOC for work which will be valid for 6 months initially and can be extended for 6 more months.

You cannot start with a new visa processing as you won't be able to cancel your previous visa during the case proceedings and for that, you can provide your new employer with a NOC from the court.

Once the judgment is passed in your favor, you may cancel the visa and file for the execution of the judgment.

Thanks!
