'Doctor in training' endorsement on the BRP

Post by mjames1183 » Mon Jan 14, 2013 3:47 pm

Hi..

My wife is a doctor from india and is going through the process of writing plab and registering with GMC. We are aware that Tier 1 migrants are not allowed to work in training jobs (unless you satisfy some conditions, which she doesn't).

However, when our visa arrived, we found that the 'Doctor in training' endorsement is printed on my BRP whereas my wife's BRP simply says 'Work Permitted'. It could be an ommision from the part of the case worker, but I am assuming that she will be able to apply for all jobs(including training ones) as the BRP does not have any restriction?

One might reason that any restriction on the main applicant applies to the dependant. but my point is if it is not printed on the BRP, then how will one know?. I know friends who have the endorsement on both the main applicant and the dependant.

anyone has seen such case? any experiences?

Thanks

moderator: apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere. I found many related discussions, but not a case of with missing endorsement

She is subject the conditions of paragraph 319D.

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/polic ... 1migrants/

If she has those exemptions she is free to work in training. If she is not within the exemptions stated therein, she would not have permission to work as doctor in training. If you are asking, and it appears that you are, whether it's okay for her to work in that capacity if she not generallay entitled, but that nobody knows about this, then I would probably not wish to comment as what I would have say you would find incredibly offensive.

oops my bad.. I din't mean to hide any fact by saying 'how will one know'. All i meant was, if there is a restriction, it must be on the BRP. If it is not, it is as good as no restriction. thats how I interpret it.
there may be lines of guidelines to govern this. but isn't it really for visa officer to evaluate the guidelines and provide the right endorsement.

so my question really was views on this interpretation and whether anyone had similar experiences?

also curious to know what would be stamped on a tier 1 migrant with all working rights?

The question is: what is the BRS endorsement for a PBS dependent in general, as that is what your wife should have? I can tell you what it is on an entry clearance, it's 1 + DOC, as that information is easily available on the UKBS site, but I can't the same information for BRPs.
