UK employment VISA

[mightyjoejo]

Hi all,

I recently completed my masters from uk university. I still have 2 months of my student VISA pending (until january 31) after which I will be applying for IGS visa.

I cannot apply for IGS visa until I receive my masters results/transcripts from the university. The Uni says it will be sent via post sometime in january 2008.

I am having a job offer in hand at the moment but I do not know what to do.

I do not have a precious salary or previous job experience. I have this first time job offer here, but am unable to apply for a IGS VISA since I havent yet received my marksheets/transcripts.

Is it possible for me to apply for an HSMP? since I have a job offer?

Hi

If you have finished the course, then you can work 40hrs/wk until your visa runs out. By that time, you should have your transcripts and be able to apply under IGS.

I suggest that once you get enough earnings working under IGS to qualify for HSMP, then you take that route.

Hope this helps
