![Question :?:](./images/smilies/icon_question.gif)
I'm in the UK on a Student visa & my husband is on a dependent visa.
He applied for HSMP (has US MS degree, 5+ years exp in US, earned more than £40k) but got rejected, cos the paperwork wasn't clear enuf apparently.
He's reapplying, but the other big problem is this:
My visa expires in Oct 2004, but can be extended upto Jan 2005.
I got a permanent job offer from an IT company & am working on probation basis right now. See I thought the HSMP was sure shot, cos he was over-qualified for it, so accepted job.
Now the problem is that although I don't attend classes I am doing my dissertation. I'm planning on deferring it so that I can work full time (no dissertation will mean that right now it's holidays)
I am on probation so technically I'm not in a permanent job. (Right?)
His fresh application will take atleast another 4 months to come through, by which time I'll be in a permanent job & therefore have illegal status.
Will this be a problem in the future for either of us?
This job is a dream job & the thought of leaving it is killing me.
Please advice.
Any advice?
