Did they fulfil the advertising requirement - ie advertise the job in UK and EU and found a valid reason to reject any local candidates?

Yes

Hi there...

Guy's correct me if something changed/ not correct ...

Once your company offer you with a job, they need to advertize the same position in one of the media (newspaper/ jobsites etc..) to check if there are any UK or EU candidates eligable for that post... and that advert shd stay for 3-4weeks before they can go and apply at home office for your work permit..

once they apply at the HO, it takes 7-14days for your WP to get approved..

once they get the WP, they will send that letter to you Original and than you need to apply for the Entry clearance at the UK embassy in your country..

and this process may take around 15working days to get the VISA approved.. it can also take less or more days thats ur luck..

Good luck mate

Hi,

You need to register with the Worker Registration Scheme as soon as you start your new job. If you do not apply within one month after you have started work here it will be unlawful.

You need to apply to the UK Boarder Agency download a WRS application form. There are nine different versions of the form you can download which gives guidance notes in your own language.

If interested in finding out further details I have written a book to help new immigrants to the UK. It is a European Ebook full of interesting detail such as above.

The advice above is wrong and does not apply to the WP system.

With all due respect AJ2008 your posts are frivolous, inaccurate, misleading and in the main designed to promote some form of e-commerce.

If you are going to continue to post you might want to consider a few points:
Can I suggest that you actually address the question that is being posted?
Give comment that is relevant to the post and not some abstract tangent that you think the post is about.
Understand that EEA law in relation to working and workers does not cross over to non EEA workers in a like for like manner.

As a total side issue given your lack of general understanding of UK immigration I hope your e-book is better researched than the posts you have placed on the forum.

You are correct my comments were regarding the Workers Registration Scheme not Work Permit. My mistake.
