Post Study Work Visa, again...

[lenticular]

So, I have until the end of October to remain in the UK. I did, however, come back home to the states this summer to work and stay indefinitely. I've since changed my mind and I would like to pursue work in the UK. I know I'll need to apply for the post -study work visa

The one thing I've learned about the Home Office is never expect anything from them. Be safe and apply from your country of origin.

Thank you for your post, I am definitely considering the possibility that I can't expect anything from them. lol

After I posted this, I did some further investigating, and on the site it says this...

"If you are already in the United Kingdom, you should apply to stay as soon as possible and before your current leave runs out. We encourage you to apply one month before your leave runs out."

If I leave on the 24th as planned, I should be within the time frame.

Unless you have legal residency or the correct visa, it's advisable to always buy a return ticket. Immigration officials could turn you back at entry (at your expense).

agreed, I always find return tickets to be waaaay cheaper anyways!
