I strongly recommend u to immidiately join some english language coursesrahul12345 wrote:What does allowed to look for work exactly means?
Does it means that you are only allowed to search for work but not actually work? .
Please do not make it so complicated, it just simply means that PSW workers are ALLOWED to look (search) for work and CAN work for any employer for up to 2 years.rahul12345 wrote:What does allowed to look for work exactly means?

That means after 2 years either leave the country (UK) or switch to other category normally HSMPrahul12345 wrote:>PSW workers are ALLOWED to look (search) for work and CAN work for any employer for up to 2 years.
Then why does the Home office website says "we expect that you will switch into another tier of the points-based system as soon as you are able to."
(Note the as soon as word)

I am sorry if this seems complicated but I am just trying to uderstand the rules and spot any catch if there is any.

What is so complicated about the words 'allowed and 'can'? There is no catch to it and if you are so worried about there being a catch, I doubt a forum is the best place to find out. Call UKBA or see an immigration lawyer.rahul12345 wrote:>PSW workers are ALLOWED to look (search) for work and CAN work for any employer for up to 2 years.

I think few of the people already explained this in depth and Please if you are still in doubt please contact HO directly or Hire a solicitor. Its not rocket science.rahul12345 wrote:Hi,
>What is so complicated about the words 'allowed and 'can'?
words mean a lot for the EMPLOYERS because they do not want to take chances. They would rather see the unambigious statment from home office confirming that they can hire PWS for full time 2 year spositions without sopnsorship.
An employer is ready to offer me job but does not want to sponsor. I told them that employerd can hire PWS holder for full time permanent vacancy without sponsorship but he asked me to show him proof of this. They said they rang the home office and home office said that they need to sponsor the candidate. They also said that they have read the following documents which mention that employers can hire students (part time 20 hours), hsmp visa (full time) but nowhere PWS visas has been mentioned.

I carefully read the documents suggesed by you but could not find any statment confirming that "employers can hire PWS for full time positions without sponsorship".
Can someone please send the link and quote the text from the home office website which confirms that "employers can hire PWS for full time positions without sponsorship". I can then show it to the employer.
Thanks.
Have you contacted UKBA. Your employer seems to be the only one who doesn't know that a PSW holder won't need sponsorship. My advice to you is to contact UKBA for that information if they need it that much. I don't see anyone here explaining it any better for you or them to understand. PSW started in June 2008 and would not be in that pdf file you put up there, so you might need to point that out to your employer. Didn't any letter come with your visa?rahul12345 wrote:What does allowed to look for work exactly means?
Does it means that you are only allowed to search for work but not actually work? If yes, then that would mean that an employer can't simply hire you, the employer has to file work permit for you.

Post-study workers are free to look for work without having a sponsor for the length of their leave.
