Congrats for the job bro.. You rock!!.. Job in central London.. Ahhh couldn't be better!!kratosvastik wrote:Thank you guys
interview went on for 2 hours as it became more of a discussion later on with people joining in , I began enjoying it a bit.
I disagree, total expenses for a family will be around £2000 or much more if you want to live comfortably, with rent or a mortgage taking up the biggest part of someone's living expenses.So total expense for family should be in the range of £900 – £1200 max assuming you want to stay comfortably.
I agree. Finding a decent two bedroom apartment (not independent house) for less than £1000 is very difficult. Add to this council tax about £150, Electricity+Gas bills about £75. So for housing alone you have to spend about £1200 per month. Independent house may cost even more..PaperPusher wrote:total expenses for a family will be around £2000 or much more if you want to live comfortably, with rent or a mortgage taking up the biggest part of someone's living expenses.
While this is the ideal situation, is this really possible ? Even a months leave is a remote possibility for most I believe. It is hard to get such long leaves approved from Manager/HR. And we do need to inform them otherwise they might consider us 'absconding' and terminate us without any information(due to the recession companies are looking for excuses anyway)... How do you (or anyone who has taken such leaves to come and search for jobs in UK) suggest that we accomplish this?Jk2007 wrote:

My suggestion is not to give up the existing job before getting new one. Please note that UK skilled migration is not like Canada or Australian skilled migration, where you go there as permanent resident. So there is no threat of having to go back to your country of origin.QEF8DD wrote:While this is the ideal situation, is this really possible ?

Every immigration system has it's pros and cons. Remember Aus/Canada immigrations applications takes lots of time on application. And one should not think , returning to own country is threat.Jk2007 wrote:t So there is no threat of having to go back to your country of origin.
It's 3 years now. And there is nothing wrong with earning criteria. If you are not earning sufficient money, then there is no point in living in this costly country, any way.UK Tier 1 only gives you a two year Visa, and the extension has stringent rules like earning sufficient money during the first two years. If you dont qualify for extension, you have to leave the country.
It's always better to play safe. But, every thing in life is not so easy, some body some where has to risk somewhere.My suggestion is to play it safe. I agree that, in many work places, it is difficult to take three months leave.
@kratosvastikRESUME is the KEY. to all fellow people : RESUME RESUME RESUME... PLEASE SPEND EVEN A WEEK ON IT AND DO NOTHING else.. IT IS WORTH IT.
