what type of training post have you been offered?

Please see document (CHANGES TO TIER 1 AND TIER 2 OF THE POINTS-BASED SYSTEM STATEMENT OF POLICY) on following link: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20100503160445/http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/2010/255022/46-new-rules-for-t1-t2-and-ir DOCTORS IN TRAINING 25.

I retreat :) Just to clarify again, I totally agreed that Tier 1 could not be appointed to training posts as doctors in UK at par with local candidates except those who had been granted Tier 1 before Feb 2008 (I am one of those people). Now, from the links you have provided, it seems that the guidel...

Don't worry about non training posts after FY program, there are plenty of them around in different specialties.

For OP:

Options for your wife depend upon her prior clinical experience and whether she needs to do FY post.

Thanks Sushdmehta, the links are enlightening. People can still be appointed to training posts (see link below) if there were no suitable UK/ on ILR/ EU candidates. Extrapolating that, FY posts are training posts and can be filled by people requiring Tier 2 (given that all Tier 2 requirements are fi...

We do have vacant posts in different areas but those posts are ment for slightly senior docors (namely middle grades). My understanding is that there are no vacant FY posts in and arround London area but I may be wrong. Likelyhood of getting FY post in London would be very low. http://www.foundation...

She cann't work as doctor on a training post on Tier 1 (or as Tier 1 dependent) unless she gets ILR or Nationality. The only exception to this rule would be a training post where there were not enough candidates from EU/ old Tier 1 holders (pre Feb 2008). Looking at competition ratios for FY program...

Would a printed statement (from my internet banking account) be a good enough proof of earnings if it is stamped by my bank? I am awaiting my original statements to come through but for some reason my last statement have gone missing in the system and never reached me. I have already called my bank ...

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it, but my query is a bit different. For example: I am claiming points for period of 12 months from May 2009 to April 2010 and have done following jobs: job one: December 2008 to May 2009 Job two: May to Sept 2009 Job three: June to August 2009 Self employed: May 2...

Hi All, I am writing in favour to a friend who is about to apply for Tier 1 (General) in few days and would like to get opinion from you all. For the earning section, the application form asks for the start and end date. And in his case, he has worked for three different employers simultaneously and...
