Post by YildizFore4 » Sun Nov 19, 2023 10:22 am

Hello,

Guys i have arrived to UK 2 years ago and i am a bulgarian citizen.

Since then they called me for a sign so i am not sure what to do because of my financials i could not get a lawyer.

I found a place to work with so they can issue the licence how can i stay in UK as now they left EU now.

What is next step for me extend my stay here should i apply for skilled worker ?

The place i found told me they can get a licence for me to work with them really need your help

Thanks

If you're going this route - yes, you need a Skilled Worker Visa.

But what is your status now? Have you got any leave to remain here legally? Since UK left the EU, there's no automatic right for you to stay in the UK.

Have you applied via EUSS?

If you don't have any legal reason to be in the UK currently, you might be in trouble.

SIgn where? Are you already under obligations to report to UKVI?

Skilled Worker visa is not supposed to be given to overstayers.
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration ... led-worker
SW2.1. The applicant must not fall for refusal under Part 9: grounds for refusal.
9.8.1. An application for entry clearance or permission to enter must be refused if:
(a) the applicant has previously breached immigration laws; and
(b) the application is for entry clearance or permission to enter and it was made within the relevant time period in paragraph 9.8.7.
Why did you stay in the UK if you knew you don't have a legal right to be there?
