    Student to Work Visa

    Hi,

    Is this possible? Converting my Student Visa to Work visa?

    I am a student and been here in London for only 4 months... Class schedule is only once a week.

    I applied for a job and landed on an IT job...

    Can I just talk to the company I work for if they can sponsor a working visa for me? I can aid with the financial help to process the paper.

    Any advice?

    do you qualify for tier 1?

    if not they will have to advertise the job for a number of weeks, if not suitable brit/european doesn't apply then they might be able to sponsor you.

    Hi Joebloggs,

    Thanks for your quick reply. When you say 'qualify'? Is this based in the point-system for Tier 1. I took the Point-based calculator self-assessment and got enough points to apply for permission in the ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk website.

    Will this be sufficient enough for me to try an application?

    What is the process?

    TIA.

    all the process is on the web site where you took the self assessment

    thou it looks to me you might have just missed out on being able to switch in country ..

    Hi guys,

    I am ressurecting this thread.

    My employer decided to have me on board to their IT company, I passed the 3 month probationary period which means I am now their regular employee.

    The company the I work for is willing to help me get a working visa. Who should I contact to be able to inquire what the process is? Can someone recommend a good solicitor in the London area?

    Cheers!
