Hi guys,

I hope someone with in depth knowledge will help me. I applied for my PSW on 04-04-2012. My previous student visa have "Work not allowed" label.

Can I work legally while waiting for decision on my visa application? Because people with previous working rights as student can work legally.

Plz give links if have got the information. Thanking everyone in advance.

While you wait for the outcome of an application, the conditions for your existing leave apply. If you say that you are not permitted to work on your existing leave then you have your answer.

Thanks for replying bro. You said that "conditions for you existing leave apply". Can you give appropriate link from Homeoffice website or from the immigration law. Thanks again

Why don't you look for the information on the ukba website which is quite easy to find.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is my immigration status while my application is being decided? Close If you make an application before your authorised stay ends, your existing immigration status will continue until your application is decided, even if the decision is not made until after the end of your permitted stay. If your existing visa or other permission to stay here allows you to work, you can continue to do so until your case is decided.

Guys I need your advice.. I sent my application by post on 22nd march and received the acknowledgment in the first week of April! Biometrics also given on the 14th of April. I worked part time for my company till may end after which I was made full time. And my Tier 4 visa stated that I am allowed to work 20 hrs per week during term time which I was doing according to my contract.. But is it true that you cannot get into full time employment till your psw is granted? and If yes, is my application liable to be rejected on such grounds? Thanks in advance!

The condition is usually, you work 20hrs a term and full time in vacations. Therefore you are asllowed to work full time but cannot take permanent employment. You should be fine.
