I was last employed 6 months ago then took a break to pursue a professional diploma (to add to my masters degree as I'm switching fields) Been searching for work since.
My PSW visa expires in 3 weeks and I've finally had an employer that's interested in sponsoring me.
(The employer already holds a sponsor license and the job would be at level NQF 6. Also I've maintained the £900 funds)
Still unsure about a few things though:
-Am I still exempt from the labour market test solely based on the fact that I am in the UK under Tier 1 PSW? I keep seeing conflicting information, namely that I need to have worked for the employer for at least 6 months in order to be exempt from it.
-I'm also assuming I need to start working for them right away in order to start my tier 2 application? I know it will take them a few days to generate a certificate of sponsorship.
-Anything else that could potentially cause issues at this stage? My biggest worry is the labour market test.
Thanks!
