There is no such exception in the immigration rules. Tier 1 (General) migrants and their dependents cannot work in training posts (doctors / dentists) even if there are (training) posts available that have not been filled up by UK/EU citizens. The only exceptions to this rule are when:ep wrote: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).
FY posts are training posts, so OP's dependent is not (and will not be) eligible to apply.ep wrote: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.

These are non-training posts in the NHS that your dependent may be able to apply for .. as a Tier 1 dependent.bym007 wrote:I did not understand what is a staff or career grade doctor ? Could you explain a tiny bit please?renzokuken wrote:Your wife can work as staff/career grade doctor in NHS
Beside training posts, there is another route of employment with NHS called staff/career/trust grade post. This is route usually filled by overseas trained specialist doctors as not so many UK doctors willing to take this route, because there is no/little opportunity to become a full consultant. The highest you can achieve in this route is associate specialist.bym007 wrote: I did not understand what is a staff or career grade doctor ? Could you explain a tiny bit please?
I never said that people cannot be appointed to training posts. What I stated is that Tier 1 (General) migrants and their dependents cannot be ... unless either of the two exceptions are fulfilled. And this statement is based on immigration rules, the link to which has already been provided.ep wrote: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 filled)
As I said earlier (link in my previous post) that not all FY post are fill able especially outside London and Southeast area.

Somebody mentioned to my yesterday ( I have asked for written evidence from him) that people on Tier 1 (or their dependents) could be given exemption from applying for Tier 2 if they were appointed to a training post fulfilling all Tier 2 requirements.
In my opinion, problem will arise after FY when virtually (but not exclusively) all training posts (CT1 and onwards) are filled by candidates who have right to work in UK. In such situation doctor (on Tier 1 etc) would be able to work in non training pots ( there are plenty of them around) till they get ILR/ Naturalization.
I was under the impression that holders of Tier 1 (or their dependents), from before Feb 2008, were eligible to apply for training posts in UK at par with other eligible candidates. But, there seems to be a new clause which only enables people on such visa (pre feb 2008 Tier 1/ HSMP) to continue in training posts if they already were in training posts.
