Tier 1 (Post-study work) PBS Assessment
The Experts For All UK Visas
The Tier 1 (Post-study work) category is designed to enable the most able international graduates who have studied here in the UK to continue working or to look for work without needing to have a sponsor.
It effectively provides a bridge to highly skilled or skilled work. If you are granted permission to stay as a post-study worker, you will be expected to switch into another tier of the points-based system as soon as you can.
You can apply under Tier 1 (Post-study work) while here in the UK if you are:
- Here with permission to stay under the Science and Engineering Graduates Scheme, the International Graduates Scheme or the Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland Scheme; or
- Here as a student (which includes students, student nurses, students resitting examinations and students writing up a thesis).
If your UK student visa has expired – or will expire before you can satisfy all the rules relating to the Tier 1 (Post-study work) visa application - you should return to your home country and apply from there (UK VISAS can still manage this for you).
What points you have to score to apply for a Tier 1 (Post-study work) visa?
To qualify for a Tier 1 (Post-study work) visa you must score a total of 95 points as follows:
- 75 points for your attributes, which are a United Kingdom qualification, study at a United Kingdom institution, your immigration status during United Kingdom study and/or research, and the date of award of the qualification; and
- 10 points for English language; and
- 10 points for available maintenance (funds).
There are very specific and particular rules relating to how all your supporting evidence should be prepared and presented and a number of variations to the above rules with regard to those who can apply under the transitional arrangements (ie: those here under SEGS, IGS or FT:WISS schemes). Call us for more details on 01403 801801.
