Thank you so much!
The Graduate Route visa has got me confused all the time and now it’s all clear!! Thank you so much for your helpful information! Will continue to show support to your lovely channel ❤️
Thank you so much, Joy! 💙
@@MindTheGrad I don’t think the students who taken “post study visa” (that was into effect until 2012) will not be eligible for “graduate route visa”. Graduate route visa is a completely new visa and that no relation whatsoever with the post study work visa. On the guidelines for “graduate route” visa, it is mentioned that graduate route visa can’t be taken more than once. However, this shouldn’t be confused with “post study work visa” as both the visas are completely different. Infact, post study work visa was under Tier 1 category. Kindly recheck this point with Yash. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing it was truly helpful information.
Appreciate ur efforts 👍
Let's goooooo 📚
Hey Valeria, the graduate route, is it for two years or up to two years? Like it is here in Ireland, once you complete your studies, first you get a one-year post-study visa to find the job and if you fail to find a job within this one year then, you have to mention the ‘reason’ and the final decision is on the immigration department to decide whether they want to extend the visa of the applicants for another year or not. Is it like this in the United Kingdom too? Or is it for two years without any catch? If you can reply it will be a great help!!
Hi,Valeria,This is a very useful video.Can I switch to another Student Visa after this PSW if my next student visa is for a higher level of study than my previous studies in the UK(Eg: From MSc to PhD)? Thank you
Hi Valeria, u r doing excellent work 👍. Can you confirm whether one completing 3 years u/g llb law in 23-24 is eligible for 2 year psw visa! Please. 🙏
Will your dependents have maintenence funds before applying?
If we are qualified and have all the documents needed, how likely is it that the PSW gets approved? Thank you.
what if I am still doing my thesis revision after my viva last December 2020, but got a tier 2 visa starting Dec 2020. I submitted my thesis for the final requirement in June and finally graduating in July 2021, can I still apply?
The Graduate Route Guidance page 5 confirms 'If a student has previously been granted permission on the Tier 1 (Post-study work) route, International Graduate Scheme (IGS) or the Future Talent Working in Scotland Scheme, this will not prevent them from meeting the validation requirements of the Graduate route. If a student has previously been granted permission on one of these routes, the student will need to successfully complete a new eligible qualification at a Higher Education Provider with a track record of compliance and hold valid permission as a student once the route is introduced, they cannot rely on a previous qualification obtained or previous leave as a Student or under Tier 4 to access the route.'
As a student we only allow to work 20 hours a week and if someone exceed it. For instance 1:45 hours in a week. (total in a month is 6hours). it will affect to get a PSW?
I graduated my masters in the summer of 2020, my student visa expired in January 2021. Is there anyway i can still be eligible to apply for this graduate visa?
i can't afford to pay the total fees upfront. is there an alternative to this?
I was issued a fine for violation of covid rules and i paid it on on time, will that affect my application?
i want to self employment in my graduate visa but can i continue to be self employed even after that but i think it is not possible as you need to switch for skilled worker visa.
Hi, Thanks for the video. I am about to graduate from the University but still did not pay the tuition fee in full, 4000 Pounds remained which I will pay after graduation as agreed with the Univerity, however, I will not receive my certificate until I settle all the tuition fees. With this situation can I still apply for Postgraduate visa since my certificate is with the University until I settle my fee to the school. Thanks
Hey, do I need a BRP when I apply for this route, because I was not provided one when I got my student visa. This is because I applied for a visa vignette transfer on my UK visa, as I was unable to travel because of covid within 90 days period that one should enter in the country. So, when I contacted UK immigration, they said that they did not give me a BRP because my visa is expiring in less than 6 months, and is considered a short term, which resulted in me not receiving a BRP. But, I am worried that this might have a effect when I apply for this route? Please help me out to understand if this is a problem?
I am planning for September 2021 intake for MBA aftr my Completion will I get PSW
My wife got the PSW dependant visa in 2012. I was the PSW main applicant. Now that she has a plan to come to the UK for her masters. Will she be eligible for the graduate route? Will I be eligible as a graduate route dependant?
Should i say that i can apply for firefighter?
I got PSW visa i need information that can i switch my visa in to a business visa
Pls Can one enrol for another program during PW visa?
Can I switch to a student visa again after 2 years of the graduate route? Like MSc then graduate route and then go for PhD.
I second this, got the same question as you but I can't find any relevant info on either website or this video. And on official website it doesn’t specifically mention that this is not allowed. But it also doesn’t say that this is allowed either.
Say if I graduate with a Bachelor, applying for PSW for the sake of looking for jobs, then I changed my mind later on and wanna do some further studies after my PSW visa expires, is it still allowed?
Same thing applies to someone who graduates with a Master, and wanna do a Phd after looking for jobs for a while.
To summarise, does Bachelor + PSW + Master or Master + PSW + Phd feasible? Also does a T4 student visa after PSW still allowed?
Hopefully this will eventually get clarified, I do need a confirmation!
I already had psw visa in 2011-2013, am I eligible for new graduate route after my studies
There is no clarity yet within the Immigration rules as yet the publication of the video, those who had Post Study Work Visa earlier (previous category) be eligible for a Graduate route visa or not. As soon we get an update, we will update here on the video description or publish another video clarifying this point.
Hi!
Thanks Valeria and Thanks Yash
I have a question: is Graduate route applied for students will start their studies next September 2021 i mean school year 2021/2022?
No, it also applied to students that already started their studies, please check out our video 06:52 - What is the eligibility criteria for Graduate Route / PSW visa?
08:34 - Are you eligible for Graduate Route / PSW visa if you graduate before 1st July 2021?
Let’s say the question different way:
If I started study Next September 2021 the graduate route visa will be exciting and after I graduate i can apply for it? Right?
The Home office statement mentioned this will help the Education sector to have 600,000 international students, so that means it will start 1st of July 2021 and remain as feature for next year graduate. Am I right with my conclusion?
@@mahmoudelsonbaty2533 Yes, you should get it, provided 1) you meet the eligibility criteria 2) the visa still exists :)
@@mahmoudelsonbaty2533 The route is running for a number of years.. I've already been answering comments on another channel this solicitors was on..
Are you Italian? Just curious
What about students who want to apply for postgraduate course for September 2021 or January 2022? Are they eligible for this after they finish their course?
Yes, provided they meet eligibility criteria and the visa is still in place!
Mam plzz tell me pr in uk is possible or not 🤔
I have lived in the UK from 2010-2013 on Student Visa and PSW Visa and planning to return back to the UK but have no idea on which visa?

quite educating video..As regards the Post Graduate Visa and also from what you know. Does a Master Program of 8 Months Qualify for this Graduate Visa pls?
You need to have studied your course in the UK for at least 12 months or the full length of your course, whichever is shorter. - www.gov.uk/graduate-visa/course-you-studied

Thank you for sharing! Does it matter what kind of course you are studying? I'm worried they won't consider me because I study music :(
There is no official policy yet, but from what we have know now the course must be at a degree level at any subject, what is the full title of your course?
@@MindTheGrad BA Hons Popular Music. I will be graduating with a 2:1 Bachelor’s Degree :)
@@gracievaux I think you should be eligible since it is a bachelor's! nothing was said in the policy about the subject, only type of the course
Is it possible to change visa from student to work visa while still studying? How about if one got sponsored employer while studying? Is it possible ma'am? Thank you
I am not a qualified lawyer, always seek professional advice, but I assume that you can, like once you already finished studies and waiting to graduate
Yes you can..,I help international students.
Thank you so much for your time and effort.
I have student visa but I cannot travel As I'm under chemotherapy treatment due to Cancer.
Can I travel later?
Sorry to hear that, get well! There are some deadlines that you have to travel by, you need to check this with your university perhaps. Also, are you studying or deferring your course?
Hi,
I have started my Masters course in September 2019 and my visa expires on September 2021. Will I be eligible for this graduation route?
Yes, provided you meet the eligibility criteria
Hi, I was meant to finish my masters in September last year but for health reasons, my dissertation was deferred. I just submitted my dissertation and I will be graduating by June. My current student visa expires in August. Will I be eligible for post study work visa, please?
In this video Yash talks about the eligibility criteria 👍
Hello,
I had started my studies in September 2020 and due to covid Pendamic in India I was not able to reach before 21 June can I be eligible for PSW. Did the date increased from June 21 to September 27 ?? For the students who started there studies in September 2020
Thanks so much vileria
My question is that as I had to change the course due to coronavirus I came late and missed classes that's why I changed from sep 2020 to January 2021 and now I will receive my course completion certificate and degree after my visa expires can I extend my visa to receive my degree and than apply for psw
Thanku so much
I think it is better to seek professional help, you can either contact solicitors, for example Yash's team or ask your university visa centre for information
Hello sir,
My visa is expiring on 13/06/2021.
I have a course for which I have to resit.
Is there any way I can extend my visa and apply for psw.?
I entered in uk on 12/01/2020 and i am still in uk
I think it is better to ask for professional help in order to extend, for example A Y & J Solicitors Website: ayjsolicitors.com
Very informative. But I got confused. I was in PSW from 11-12. Now I am planning to reapply for MSC, so am I eligible for new graduate route, after my MSc?

Will one chances of getting the visa become minimal when he/she had worked more than 20 hours per week before, during term time?
Do you mean that you have official violated the immigration laws?
No. It is just a general question.
@@jeffreykwekuandoh9645 I never came across such cases, but if you violate any immigration rules for your visa, you might have difficulties extending or switching your stay

Are we not eligible to get dependents while we are on post study work visa?

you can only if these dependents were with you already on your student visa, as per Yash's speech video
hi sir my visa expires on july 26th ,after getting psw visa can i get my kids as dependants or not sir ,please let me know sir
It looks like you can’t add new dependents on this visa, only dependents you already had on your students visa. In the description of the video I have a link to the gov.uk website that explains this

I graduated September 2020 but I won my student officer elections so I had my student visa extended to November 2021. Do I qualify?
Hello, since I am now a lawyer, I can’t confirm this for sure, perhaps you can check with your university.
But as Yash said, you need a student status on the date of application, so you might be eligible
@@MindTheGrad thank you. It is a student status🙏
Hi,
I came to UK on student visa , computer science with placement course 2 years of student , can I change now for one year course , if I change the course from placement to without placement do I still eligible for psw , becoz my BRP and CAS course also changes..
Normally you must have completed this course during your current period of Tier 4 or Student permission and it must be the same course for which your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) was assigned. There are some exceptions:
If your CAS was assigned for an integrated programme, and you successfully completed an undergraduate or postgraduate degree as part of that programme, you can use that degree as the relevant qualification. This is only for degrees, not for other types of course.
If you were allowed to switch to a different course without applying for new Tier 4 or Student permission, you can use that new course as the relevant qualification.
If the course provider changed the name of your course without changing the content, or if they added an assessed work placement or study abroad programme, this does not stop you meeting the qualification requirement
If your last period of Tier 4 or Student permission was granted to work as a Student Union Sabbatical Officer, it is fine if the relevant qualification was gained during your period of Student or Tier 4 permission immediately
@@Sharan. hi do they need you to actually hold the degree to apply cause our graduation has been postponed or a letter from the uni is fine to confirm my completion
@@Rose-wl4nj Not sure what your asking dear..As long as you have completed & awarded a degree.Doesnt matter about graduation ceremony, if that's what I'm thinking your asking.Anyway your university will inform Home office.Ask your university,they are their to advice you.They now must have all knowledge on graduate route.
@@Sharan. okay thanks I meant do I need to actually have the degree certificate as proof of documents since we get it during the ceremony or a letter from the university would be enough to say that I have completed I don’t know if you get it? But thanks dear I will ask my uni
I have availed PSW in 2007-2009 and after completion of the visa, I left the UK. Thus, I want to know if do another Masters from the UK will I be eligible for the new Graduate Route. Or are there any restrictions on the graduates who previously availed post-graduate work schemes like PSW/ Fresh Talent Initiative by the Scottish government or another such type of schemes?

@@waseemfarooq5157 glad you found the answer!
@@waseemfarooq5157 what is the answer you got? Are you eligible for graduate route?
@@aryanliza15 At this point there is nothing to say that previous beneficiaries of the PSW schemes cannot benefit from Graduate route but also nothing to say otherwise either. It is best to wait until PSW actually launches in July 2021 as perhaps further details will be available then that can best answer my question
Hi Valeria and Mr Dubal. I wanted to ask you about my eligibility to this route. I am student of Advanced diploma in accounting and finance, which is official diploma course of BPP University. After successful graduation my course I will get 330 credits. If you have any information related to my case I will be very glad to hear it from you. Thank you for the content as well Valeria
I think you could check with BPP directly whether it would be classified as a degree
@@MindTheGrad OK. Thank you
Hi i hope you are well. My question is if someone is studying phd and for someone he changes his registration from phd to mphil would he still be eligible for graduate route for 2 years?
I am not an immigration lawyer, but as long as you graduate with a degree, you should be eligible in my opinion provided you meet all other aspects of eligibility. you can also check with your university!
Thank you
