Thanks a lot.

Thank you, Lisa.

Did your emloyer stated in the reference letter that you were recruited before graduation?

I find it odd to ask my former employer to do so as it's not a normal thing to say in reference.

Thanks for reply. I do have a master's degree. But that junior Industrial Engineer job started 6 months before I got my bachler's degree. "The applicant does not necessary have to hold a degree to be awarded the points. It's more about whether the post held would noramlly require a degree level...

Thanks.

Full time work during studying Master's was after your first degree, right? That might still make difference.

Thank you anyway.

Hi something about work experience to ask. I have been working two years as Junior Industrial Engineer and Industrial Engineer, and the first 6 months of Junior Industrial Engineer was the last 6 months of my university. I worked full time at the same time when I was doing my dissertation. Can that ...

yes. 4 yrs in total with either WP or HSMP and not long interval outside UK during these yrs(9 months in UK minimum every yr).

Thank you. My master's degree is done in UK, it's taught, but i guess it should not be a problem. I emailed HSMP about my different work experience and was told that "If you provide sufficient evidence that these jobs are graduate level you will be awarded points for 4 years." Hopefully it...

Yes, that's the right thing to do. Find a hostel and wait till you know where you will be for work. Especially you've got a number of interviews, you may expect to start work very soon. It's good value to get £60-£120 per week in London. You can search their postcode on www.multimap.com or map.googl...

I heard that there was rejection based on different major: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=4939 I also have inconsistant academic history, Bachelor in Engineering and MSc in Economic. And I even have 2 parts of inconsistant employment history; first as engineer and then became busin...

thank you

Thank you. I think i will still give it a try. Let me know how do they response to your review.

Thanks a lot.

But I still have worry with my highly inconsistant work experience. Is you work experience a consistant one?

I havn't sent the application, and now I'm worrying that if the inconsistancy is a problem, should I waste £315?!

Do you think it would better off that you simply sumbit Master degree certificate without bechelor one? Is that possible?

Sorry to know your are not successful. it's teh first time I heard refusal based on this reason. I also have inconsistant academic history, Bachelor in Engineering and MSc in Economic. And I even have 2 parts of inconsistant employment history; first as engineer and then became business development ...

Hi, I have self assessment like this. Points claimed = 65 Age (under 28 ): 5 Education: 25 Work Experience (4 yrs graduate level): 35 I have been working for 2 years as Industrial Engineer, and 2 years as Business Development Manager in Inward investment, completely irrelavant ones. Does it matter? ...

How active is enough? How about 24k job in UK?

Hi, I have self assessment like this. And I have been working for 2 years as Industrial Engineer, and 2 years as Business Manager in Inward investment, completely irrelavant ones. Does it matter? How to prove my job is graduate level? I have UK Master's degree by the way. Thanks. Application receive...

So even in fact i no longer have enough points, it doesn't matter?

As I have current job in UK. If I just keep this job, ( the salary is too low to earn any point), I'm still counted as economically active, right?

Thanks in advance.

I currently have WP which expires in Aug 2006. Thinking to apply for HSMV as it gives more flexibility. I'm 27 now, and my points is just 65. So when I renew it after a year, I will be 28 and lose 5 points. Will this affect the renew? My current job pays me £24,000 in UK, which is not high to be hon...
