from homeoffcie:
I am filling the tier2 online application form and found the 6 months period is required for PSW-TIER2 now:As per the current Guidance:
“Tier 1 Post Study migrants switching into Tier 2 General are not required to submit the evidence of their employment (pay slips and/or bank statements) as per the current rules. However, the system hasn’t yet been updated to reflect this in the online application form. So applicants can select “No” to these questions (related to supporting documents).
However, applicants have to submit bank statements in evidence of meeting the maintenance requirement, if it is not certified by A rated sponsor.”
The Post study work provisions mean that if you are applying for Tier 2 from within the UK and you meet the requirements set out below, your sponsor will not have to show that it has done a resident labour market test in order for them to employ you in your prospective job.
You qualify for the Post Study Work provisions if you are applying for Tier 2 (General) from within the UK and are switching from:
▪ Tier 1 (Post Study Work)
▪ Fresh Talent Working in Scotland
▪ International Graduates Scheme (or its predecessor, the Science and Engineering Graduate Scheme).
The job that you are doing must be the same job that you are being sponsored to do at the time you make this application. You must also have been working for your sponsor for a continuous period of 6 months, immediately preceding the date you submit this application.
