    As an international student, I understand the struggle. However, I do know two people who were the first international student that their specific firm ever sponsored so it is possible! PM me and maybe I can give you some tips!

    Retrospective Funding

    My visa expires in October 2020 and my vac scheme would end mid July 2020. I think it's cutting it pretty close to apply for the LPC and extend my visa within 2 months. Do you suggest I still apply for the LPC and only approach the law firm after I've been given an offer?

    Retrospective Funding

    Due to my visa requirements, I think my best option is to start the LPC for 2020-2021 which is why I was asking about retrospective funding because ULaw or BPP would be able to sponsor my visa. the TC would not be until 2022. How would you go about emailing the firm to inquire about this...

    Fieldfisher is pretty slow with getting back to people so I'd say just continue waiting! I don't think there's any harm in emailing GR if it's been a month post online assessment. They don't recruit all at once - I know someone who went to the AC end of January, but I know someone else who has...

    Can anyone drop some of their top tips for an AC? I have my first one this week and bit nervous. I know "be yourself" is one of the top tips, but anything else will help too!! :)

    Hi Alice, I completely understand why this is devastating and how you may feel "not good enough". However, I think you should reflect upon your accomplishments. You conquered every step of the way until the AC for a firm that could arguably be #1 in the entire world! That is so huge!! You were...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Where would I find information about their policy on this? I guess I can try logging onto the application portal again to try.

    If you got rejected after testing for VS, are you still able to apply for a TC afterwards? Or do I have to wait for the next cycle?
