mizGene: I don’t think you need to spend 1 year. According to the uk gov website, you need to have lived here for at least 185days. I haven’t applied as well. I think this 185days thingy is a new rule because people usually apply anytime when they enter the country. 2 Likes |

See monitoring spirit You can't just jump to conclusion without knowing the facts. As of 2013, I am pretty sure most on this thread would have advised the same. PSW (if you know what the meant) closed to all applicants on 6 April 2012. After studies and no sponsorship or other means, it's as good as leaving the country. His comment said at the moment , current hostile immigration climate so I don't know what you are all about. Now that there is PSW, lots of students are trooping in and the immigration rules are relaxed and friendlier esp due to brexit. As for the NO part which is even completely not related, Can you yourself work 20 hrs per week in naija, (still pay rent and bills) and pay off a debt of N2M not to talk to £10k Uzomarrr123: 15 Likes |

I have seen so many people declaring interest in tech. I wish we had a small hub where new tech enthusiast with UK in mind can come together and share tips, career path etc. Honestly i have been underestimating my small frontend skill till i searched on indeed and saw how much pay i can get. . On this note i have sent you a PM . we can have a group of 5 -10 like minded individual with an existing knowledge of ICT. We would appreciate all senior members who are already working in the tech to help us with one or two guidelines Katherine98: 4 Likes |

I would like to ask a very important question that almost every new person relocating to the UK would have asked or have it in mind. The question is- What happens after the PSW Post study work visa? For me I see this question as what can I do to ensure I make use of the 2 years post study work visa to ensure I make the best use of the PSW and get a job that can sponsor before it expires. Please honourable members, I would need your support and practical contributions on this topic. This would in turn help alot of people here to plan well and be strategic with certain moves. Thank you all. |

To answer your question about what happens after PSW: if you don't get a company that will sponsor your skilled work visa or go through another route to extend your visa, you will have to leave. The good news is that you have 3 years to get a job that will sponsor your visa. You have to start applying for jobs now. Instead of concentrating on survival jobs, spend quality time applying for grad jobs. Learn how to answer competency questions. Work on your CV. Learn about assessment centres. While some people will get the 1st job they applied for, some will get the 500th job. So keep applying and don't be discouraged. I have been through the process myself. While I was lucky to get a job before I finished my MSc., a lot of my friends got good jobs during PSW while some had to go back home. Go through the list of skilled work visa sponsor and strategically apply to those that sponsor. No point applying to those that cannot give you COS. Target companies that are already sponsoring. They are usually open minded and have process in place to sponsor. TheOnly123: 4 Likes 7 Shares |

dupyshoo: One has to eat while they're job hunting. Best advice would be to apply to anywhere you can fit, particular focus on potential sponsors, yes, but focusing on them alone isn't advisable. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Aphrodite007: Hi dear, this your post just dropped my morale. My husband got an offer to study at your side. Computer science (advanced study) I will be joining as dependant. But me I can't stay up to 2 or 3 months waiting for job o. Will loose my mind worse not getting a job at all. Please is there hope of getting a better life there? Is it really green.? Are there really jobs? And can one make savings from it after settling cost of living. Ps: he just started a digital biz which is striving, will you advice he leaves it for further studies? |

TheGuyFromHR: Good that you pointed that out.. There are some uncomfortable truth that need to be told regarding PSW, the number of people that got graduate job with that permit is negligible. So don't hold that visa and focus on graduate jobs alone and neglect other jobs because... 1. You need money for plan B, if not for anything at least to recover money spent studying here 2. Rent and bills need to be paid 3. Don't leave gap on your cv Yes PSW allows you to stay and work for 2yrs but actually its not a proper work permit, it just buy you time. I'm not saying this to discourage anybody. 9 Likes |
