Immigration lawyers are NOT able to proccess/send Tier 2 applications. If the HO knows that they are doing this, they will refuse it.Also, can someone recommend an immigration lawyer please that can process work permit but at the same time know the tricks about my past immigration experience.

If you left before 1 October 2008, you can apply to come back straight away.
Looking at your previous threads, there are others who have overstayed and worked illegally for longer and are now back in the UK on various visas.
But have you got a job offer from a licensed employer?
Does this employer have a PBS licence, if not they can not sponsor your entry to the UK. Even if they have a licence they have to advertise the role in the UK first. Only if there were no suitably qualified people applying for the role could he offer you the job. Even then you will need at least £800 in your bank account for three months prior to entry clearance. As I said above it is a far tougher system.I do have a prospective employer that is willing to sponsor me.

He managed to return on a work permit, you will not be able to do this as that system has been cancelled. The Points Based System PBS is the new way to enter the UK for work purposes. It is a much tougher system.
You can apply to come to the UK as soon as you like as long as you meet the requirements for whatever entry visa you are seeking. If you intend to work in the UK you will have to get some form of PBS based entry.
Can I ask one question was anything stamped in your passport before you left the UK or were you given IS151D papers?
Frontier Mole wrote:An immigration lawyer will not help get a PBS licence. The licence is issued once as assessment of the employers HR system is made. This is usually by someone coming out to visit the company, interviewing the authorised person / HR manager / owner etc. It is not just handed out the way WP was.
The employer will not get away with bringing over anyone he/she feels like and the fines for breaking the rules are stiff. Most of the small business organisations struggle to get a licence because it is so obvious that it is a poor attempt at getting friends and relations over to the UK. The days of no or little checks are gone. There are new UKBA teams all over the country doing pre licence visits and many firms are being refused a PBS licence. Those that do get a licence will be getting regular visits from the compliance teams to ensure they are not breaking the rules.
You are pretty dismissive of the system. I think you may be in for a shock when the employer gets the licence refused and there goes your chance of entry. Even if the licence gets issued by the way you portray the ease of how it will be dealt with I hope your employer has a spare £10000 to pay his fine!
Good luck, I think you will need it.
Frontier Mole wrote:Well if your occupation is in on the shortage list and your prospective employer is government or local government then you have a good chance.
BUT if as you say your employer is government related they do not need immigration lawyer and will have already been contacted by UKBA to help them through the licence process.
As for being dismissive of the system you were in your post. For someone who is allegedly intelligent it might have been better to point out that you occupation is on the shortage list. There is also no need to do the RLMT if that is the case. Then again if you had read the information on the UKBA site you might have understood that.
As for going to war, you might want to find out who your opponent is before you decide to go into battle. Tactically and strategically you are at a major disadvantage so be careful who you rile as the outcome may not be pleasant! Perhaps you might want to ask "William" who guided him through the system to get an idea wither you want me as friend or foe?
Read your previous posts - Something to think about - you have no right of appeal if your tier 2 EC is refused, an administraive review at best. So bearing in mind your poor immigration history even if your prospective employer was to get licenced there are still significant barriers to overcome.

I have read all your posting with great interest, you are obviously a person of intellect, but find your arrogance, leveled at Frontier Mole, who has only ever given frank and qualified answers to this forum, unexceptable.
If people don't like the answers to thier problems, dont shoot the messengers, sort your problems out yourselves.
Frontier Mole wrote:To be fair I thought Jilly Cooper was something she is not. See what assumptions lead to!
I have apologised and hope that I can offer constructive help in a more acceptable way.
Thanks for the support from others; I think the Joe777 post sums it up very well. I do jump to conclusions but I hope that I can also offer advice that is worthwhile. I am really anti to those that go out their way to abuse the system. Jilly was never one of those people and I am sorry for thinking she was.
It is not enough that your skills "are in shortage list", but the job you are going for has to be on the shortage list. Do not count on the employer getting on the list either, this is not a guarantee.My skills are in shortage list and my prospective employer is funded by the government (or the tax payers) itself

I have had a look and cannot work out what job you would be going for. You have previously mentioned being a lecturer in a college, and that sort of job is not on the shortage occupation list, it never was either. If you previously got a work permit in error then you cannot ask the HO to continue giving you permits in error, although I know you were working illegally for many years.
Please can you let us know what job you want to come back to do.

I know. I also know what "FE" stands for and what it means, which is why I asked what job you are going for. I know that the post of lecturer has never been on the shortage occupation list. I also know what compulsory education means, which was where the shortage occupation posts were.FE and the mainstream (Year 1 to Year 11, GCSE) have difference in using title post. If you are in FE, your post-title as a teacher is a Lecturer. However, if you are in the mainstream, your post-title as a teacher is Teacher

I am sorry you are having such a hard time.
I think though the position is that you are not facing a mandatory ban if you apply to return to the UK. The challenge is to find that way back.
I think one of the unfortunate effects of immigration control is that it can end up bidding us against each other. I hope you are able to get what you want and I will of course help all I can. I am sure most folks here too are interested in helping.
