Where do I start?

Post by Herhighness » Sat Jun 01, 2019 11:30 pm

Hello respected people,

I am qualified scientist and quite new to the Uk
( 1 month since arrival).I Came on a visitors visa for 6 months.However I would like to change my visa to a work permit without having to go back to my motherland which is a commonwealth country .
My question is how and where do I start? Is it doable? I have researched several companies that can sponsor me and applied for jobs even though i have not heard from them yet.
Please can someone please send me links that could be of any help incase there is any .
Please shed some light on the steps I need to take to get a work permit.

Many Thanks

Its not permitted to apply for any other category of visa from within the UK while here as a visitor.

(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
