Mulderpf has given good advice and makes sense to start your job hunt as soon as you can and ensure you prep yourself and do your homework. Generically speaking, I'd like to add that if one were looking at when its NOT a good time to come to the UK then the answer is definitely mid Dec to mid Jan - ...
All, There is a very simple answer to this. The only way one gets a conviction or a criminal record is when a case is made against you, you go to the court or abstain from it, and the judge passes a ruling against you and CONVICTS you of the charges brought against you - this is the ONLY time you ge...
Congratulations... you haven't been asked for any P60's..? For HSMP or Tier 1 case you only need the below to verify earnings 1. P60s or payslips 2. Bank statements So one cannot use P60 and Payslip as 2 proofs because its considered from the same source. If you just carry P60s and bank statements ...
Ya I have gone through that before asking here. That website says you need to be a UK citizen for getting a driving license. You are confusing 'Resident in UK' with 'Citizen of UK' and that's why all these posts. If you are living and residing in the UK, then you can get your license. Resident in t...
You only have to mention if you have a Criminal conviction and this excludes any spent convictions. Its clear you dont have to mention it because it did not result in a criminal conviction. FPN also is fine unless you have multiple FPNs. Your other offence for which you attended the course clearly d...
Your prospective employer will only contact those people whose details you have provided and nothing more. Also, from what I know, for standard jobs in the IT sector, companies, big and small, do standard checks such as bankruptcy, criminal records etc - many dont even contact your employer. The com...
From all I have read on this forum, they only want to ensure the couple live together and submitting a few well selected letters spanning 2 years or a lot of letters dont make any difference. Also not that if you have been living and travelling together, most entry and exit stamps in the passport pl...
In the UK, they dont stamp on exit - its well known but many realize this only when they actually sit and look at their passports - so this is never going to be an issue. They only stamp when you enter after standing in those long queues! As you exit the UK, wherever you go, the country you enter wi...
Thanks Sush, This is precisely what I intend to do. The proof I will be using for past 12 months earnings assessment and claiming points are 1. P60 for 2010-11 Apr to March with one month being unemployed 2. Bank statements for those 12 months These are from 2 separate sources so should suffice. Car...
Hi, This may be a ridiculous question as its always better to have more documents than less however, I have a genuine reason for asking this so appreciate any valid replies :-) I will be submitting the below for income, past earnings proof 1. 5 years P60s 2. 12 Bank statements corroborating the abov...
Wonder how the govt can allow such companies to be legal??? From what you have said, its pretty clear 1. No bench period. They will only wait for 3 months from the date they issue the WP. 2. If in 3 months, either you dont find work and start, or they cant find work for you, your WP will be cancelle...
Just be careful of one point - once you have a Tier 2 from them, then whether they help you to find work or not, they do not lose. This is because, as they stated, you get no money when you are idle, and when you do work then they get a 25% cut. Also note that they say they will find a contract for ...
You have to write what your latest and current salary is at the point of making the application. So you just state what you receive now - no one asks what you received 3 or 6 or 9 months back - just your current salary
You need to provide anything that clearly states you were employed by the named employer during the period of your Work Permit. A generic employment letter stating you are/were working for them or your P60 is more than enough really. Bank statement too will suffice provided it shows the company's na...
Thanks for that. As for why I need those docs, they are part of standard proof I need to submit - 1. Employment reference letter stating my salary and my my job is permanent from current employer - required to show economically active 2. Previous employer letter to highlight absences plus i was work...
One more question I did have for you - for proofs such as 1. Employment reference letter 2. Previous employment letters, if any 3. Latest bills etc For all of the above, there is no specific mention that these must not be older than 1 month. I am sorting all my papers now but applying 2nd week of Ju...
Thanks for that - how does one know which offices stamp on the same days and which dont? Good thing I thought of asking and thanks to you we shall quietly go to Croydon and get it done
Hi All, Many posts on here talk of 2 PEO offices - Croydon and Solihull. While we can go to either, the one at Cardiff is easy access to us and wanted to know from others about their experience at the Cardiff PEO? Our case is almost straightforward. I have 185 days outside UK over 5 years all of whi...
Legally you are not supposed to do a full time Masters. Part time, executive and distance learning are allowed but usually at international rates. Many colleges do look at your case if you make a request. This is because few colleges only require you to be resident in the UK to qualify for local fee...
buy a newspaper or visit your local job centre - part time jobs are usually within services so you are looking for openings in super markets, restaurants or any of the million shops in city centres and malls - if you walk in a mall you will papers put on John Lewis, M&S, HMV, Primark, Next, Gap, Swa...
1)whts the time limit to get an offer letter,my consultant said i will get it next week? Well it varies from organization to organization can take a couple of days to weeks together 2)the consultant said that my joining date is 23rd may which is almost a month from nw ,and he told me to remove my C...
So a few things you need to be clear of at the outset 1. Consultants do usually manage the entire process until the point you get the offer letter. After that, you will have official contact points within the company 2. Companies do tend to send all correspondence via the Consultant but in the end, ...
Ive always worked with English / Polish AUTOCAD guys who are excellent and work long hours when the projects dictate this. I missed the initial subjective and crude remark by the OP, must say Bearuk, you are off the mark a lot when it comes to this specific line of work. Agree with SSEF 100% becaus...
Need to keep in mind that moving away into a role not related to your Masters can be detrimental to future prospects. While I have no clue about Autocad, pretty sure there are very few high paying roles in this field for reasons mentioned by previous poster. What you should be aiming for is Junior o...
