Hi
Not to say the other posts can't be helpful, but seems like almost every single person on here that is applying for Tier 1 is from India and is in the IT field. Neither of which applies to me, so I was wondering if there was anyone with a more similiar situation to myself that could share their experiences with me?
I am a 25 year old woman , American citizen, born in NY where I currently live. I have a Bachelor's in psychology from Tulane University that I received in 2004. I've been working since then in social services/substance misuse counseling/mental health type of settings/hospitals since then. I am planning on entering medical school in 2011. My plan is to go abroad to London for a year or two just to have some overseas experience, see the world a little, try something new, etc etc before I embark on the long medical pathway.
I have enough points, theoretically, to get a Tier 1 visa, but I know this isn't the only part of the puzzle. I'm very, very nervous about giving up my current job, my apartment, my car and everything, and very nervous about being able to find a job that pays well enough for me to actually enjoy living in London and no struggling to survive, which would defeat the purpose of my going there!
Has anyone else applied for the Tier 1 or old HSMP visa from America, that did NOT work in IT or investment banking, and could you please share with me how and if you found a job, apartment, etc? Or anything else you want to share. Thanks alot
