Hi, The following UKBA link mentions that there will be transitional arrangements beyond 6 Apr 2011 for Tier1 General in UK applications. Any one have any idea what these arrangements will be? Will these allow existing PSW visa holders or certain other visa holders to apply for Tire 1 General from w...
Hi rd409, >Student visa restriction says, you cannot work for a permanent jobs during the student visa stay. So if your job was a temporary or a contract job, it can do. Mine was not permanent. However is there a home office website link which says that student can work full time after studies for 4...

Hi, 1. Can PSW visa holders open private limited compnay? My understanding is yes they can, but I just wanted to confirm. 2. What is the process to open a company? How much does it cost?

>If working on a student visa (20hrs/wk) pays you enough to claim points for earnings, you may do so. Thanks. Does it also mean that a combination of student visa earnings and earnings during PSW visa can be claimed. Full time work on student visa after finish of studies (student visa is generally g...
Can earnings on student visa be claimed for switching to Tire 1 General. I read in some previous post that as per current rules student visa earnings will not be counted. But nothing like this is mentioned in the UKBA website. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/immigrationlaw/immigration...
Hi, I will be applying for PSW in around 2nd July 2010. I have following bank statements with more than 800 pounds: Current account: (Two months, April to May) (I am not able to locate my Mach statement for this account. Same bank but different account, online savings (March) Is this sufficient? Tha...
Compnay will need time to apply for sponsor license (not sure about how much time it takes, but I assume it will be more than 1 or 2 months as UKBA will check all the details including the human resource management system of the company before issuing licence). So if you tell them just before your v...

Hi, Just wanted to confirm if biometric is required for PSW visa. My understanding after reading the application form is that it is not required but I read some posts here that mention that some applicants had to go through it.

Hi potterbond007, >I heard that it is going to be reduced to 1 year too. However until this happens, nothing can be said for sure. Do you think the new changes (reduce PSW to 1 year) will be applicable to those graduating this year? I mean can we assume that changes to PSW will only be applicable to...
Hi, I got student visa till end of July, graduation ceremony is in third week of July. My understanding is that ideally I should apply after getting the original degree during my public graduation ceremony, but fearing that PSW make undergo changes (reduced to 1 year), I am thinking to apply right a...
Hi sushdmehta, >Tier 2 anyday (over Tier 1 PSW). >Tier 1 (PSW) is a fixed term (2 yr.) leave to enter / remain (visa) and cannot be extended any further or be applied for a second time. As per current rules, time spent in UK on Tier 1 (PSW) doesn't count towards settlement. Thanks for your logic on ...
Hi, The UKBA website mentions "...All vacancies advertised on or after 14 December 2009 must be advertised to settled workers for 28 calendar days...". What about the vacancies advertised and offered before 14 December 2009? Do they have to do the labour test as well? UKBA website also men...
