这段时间麻烦大家一直在坛子上搜帖子,有点六神无主的,终于整件事情告一段落了。发下帖子记录下整个过程吧。
找工作其实有段时间了,一直断断续续,经常被打击,觉得沮丧,终于在四月初的时候接到这家公司的agency给我的电话介绍这个岗位。她没问我签证的事情,我就拖着也没说,因为几乎99.9%的中介一听你要签证就不会理你了,至少我的情况是如此。事后证明这是一个明智之举。第一次面试和我日后的经理,五月初的天气,居然也特别的明媚,我们聊的很开心,聊了将近两个小时,他ms也挺满意我的,终于到尾声他问起签证的事情,我怯怯的说我需要sponsor,他立马说没关系,我们公司有license,可以sponsor的,我当时那个狂喜!于是第二次面试的时候让我做个research并作presentation我非常的用心,各种搜集资料,完了后还找了几个经验非常丰富的人(director级别)帮我看了一下,他们给了很中肯的建议,然后我就各种修改我的slides,虽然最后他们也没时间帮我看了,因为从拿到题目到面试只有一个星期的时间准备。事后证明我的调查作的很详尽,经理很喜欢,虽然我因为经过一周intense的准备睡眠不足,头天晚上还失眠,导致面试到最后几分钟的时候胃痛说不出话,走出公司,我告诉自己我尽力了。当天下午agent就给我电话问签证的事情,她的语气ms不善,说我没告诉她我需要签证的事情,因为这个时候公司只是给她问签证的事情还没告诉她录用否,而且我当时胃痛,语气也不太好,她以为我面的不好,总归就是各种郁闷,她让我send关于签证的一些细节给她。我是异地找伦敦的工作,回到家已经十一点多了,头天晚上本身就失眠五点才入睡,又一大早起来化妆赶火车,可是还是做了一份document出来,介绍tier2的细节,弄到一点多才睡,当时觉得精疲力尽了,而且当时是五月底,我六月初还要考CFA!完全只能一件一件事情来,放下这件事情以后立马准备考试,没有别的心情去想任何事情。
第二天中介就给我电话,惊喜的告诉我说我impress了人家,人家愿意帮我办签证了!还说不是很多公司愿意办签证的,她第一次遇到blabla,我的心终于放下了,然后就是各种郁闷等签证的事情,做什么market test啦,第一次不成功重新做一次啦什么的,终于在等了两个多月以后今天收到帮忙办签证的公司的来信,说签证拿到,到2016年九月份。事情终于告一段落,证明不是大型投行,不是金融,还是有可能拿到工签的!
另外求助,我之前工签是psw转的,当时公司给我转的时候我就各种不情愿,拖了很久(因为当时psw还有一年半,想着可能好换工作),结果拖到9月份才没办法去办了签证。现在的问题是,从第一次Tier2到手(11年九月底)到2016年九月中旬签证到期,中间有八天的gap到五年整。看了很多人说提前28天可以办永居,那我这种八天的gap是不是可以ignore在三年以后直接申请永居?谢谢回答哈~~
补充:这个是在网上搜到的,不知道适不适用

From: Settlement Ops Policy Mailbox
UK Border Agency

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your request for information about a shortfall in leave towards the end of the continuous period for ILR. Your request has been treated as a routine enquiry, rather than under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, as it the sort of request that we regularly deal with as part of our normal business.
We are unable to offer advice on individual cases, but can confirm that where an applicant has had a shortfall in their leave up to the end of the continuous period for ILR, it is not always necessary for applicants in such circumstances to make an application for a further extension of leave, as applicants can submit an application for settlement in the 28 days before the end of the qualifying period. They must not apply earlier than 28 days before the end of the qualifying period, and provided that they still have extant leave on the date of application, the shortfall will not be a consideration. Please see below example which may help to explain:
Mr A granted initial leave from 23/03/2009 to 23/03/2011
granted FLR at a PEO from 03/03/2011 to 03/03/2014 = 20 day shortfall up to end of 5 year continuous period
Mr A would be able to apply for ILR would between 24/02/14 and 03/03/14, as this is within 28 days of the end of the continuous period, and he would still have 8 days extant leave.
I trust this is helpful
