redroom Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 This is a longshot, but I know there are a few UK members that may be able to help me out. Basically I am a US citizen and I am trying to get a job in the UK. I have interviewed with and I am somewhat close to being offered a position with a company in London. The issue is that the company is new, small and will not go through the process of getting me a work permit. I have to supply my own. The UK has a program called the HSMP or Highly Skilled Migrant Program. Now I may, or may not be eligible for this program. My situation is a bit complicated because I was working already working in the EU (Czech Republic) for the last three years. Does anyone happen to know about any of these immigration laws or perhaps know someone I could speak to? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loewenheart Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Have you tried looking at the corresponding official government website? They usually list the reqirements etc. and should have a contact person/number listed. LH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redroom Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Thanks for the reply. Yeah I looked, but my situation is a little hairy. I suppose I'm just looking to see whether anyone knows someone who works in immigration in the UK. Possibly an immigration lawyer or consultant whom I could hire...

redroom Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) Hi Bryana, Actually no, I haven't seen that exact site and it does look to be more comprehensive than the others I came across. Thanks! I'll have to pour over this one for a bit. Hi Redroom I guess you've been here: http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/ right?
