IT Contract job on student visa (finished studies)

Post by viki83 » Thu Oct 04, 2007 11:30 am

Hi,

I am currently on a student visa till december 31st 2007. I've got a job offer as a Software Developer but its a 6 months contract starting from 15th october 2007 with Progressive UK.

I have some questions:

0. Can I start IT contract job (payed hourly) on my student visa (finished studies but remaining 3 months on student visa) I checked on most site they say that you only cannot work on a permanent role.

1. Can I later on claim for HSMP based on the earning from my contract job.

2. Can I claim for earnings for commulating more than 1 contract job. Like initially I have 6 months contract with one company then another 6 months with other companny, so my 12 months earning power I can add both pays and claim?

3. Typical IT contract jobs for agencies like Progressive UK, can I claim HSMP based on these jobs (or is it required for HSMP to have a permanenet job).

Regards,
Waqar

How did you get this role without having valid leave to fulfil the terms of the contract?

Check out this http://www.welfare.qmul.ac.uk/internati ... n/IGS.html

Its clearly written here that you can work your field related fix term contract till student visa ends. Actually the main issue is that I cant apply for SEGS before 15th nov. as I cant get university letter before that. Other thing is that I want to save my SEGS time as I still have student visa remaining till 31st dec. 2007.

What I was alluding to was the fact agents usually want a copy of ur passport and visa and if it's only got three months left on, well, I dunno, no agent I've dealt with would offer the contract.

I was just intrigued acutally how u got over that hurdle!
