Hi,

Congrats on getting the PWS. May I bother you with a quering about working rights for PWS.

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.

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.
