Hello,
I have a job offer here in the UK and am currently in the process of applying for a work permit. My company has assigned an immigration consultant to help me, but I am confused by some of the advice she has given me. She asked me to apply for a Tier 1 Post-study work visa even though I hold a job offer here (I'm currently a student). The odd thing is that I spoke to some other colleagues in the same company who are also applying for work permits and they told me that this same consultant told them to apply for Tier 2 visas!
According to the Home office site, the Tier 1 PSW visa is only for students who don't have a job offer and they are expected to transition to another type of visa as soon as they find a job. Surely this doesn't apply to me. Furthermore if the company can sponsor other colleagues (who are also currently students) on the same programme, they can do the same for me.
Has the consultant made a mistake here? Should I ask for a Tier 2 visa instead? Please help! Thanks
