[QUOTE="ARP, post: 92593, member: 18141"] [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] The firm is relatively small, but it's certainly not a tiny satellite office and they recruit a fair number of international trainees. They definitely know about the new Skilled Worker Visa, but I think they were unaware about the new change which allows for a gap between visas. It's understandable because all the international future trainees have usually just completed the normal LPC thus far, and I get the feeling that they prefer for me to do the normal LPC to avoid any visa complications. I've heard of stories of people having to start work in the firm's offices in other jurisdictions because of visa issues, so I can see where they're coming from. On my part, I'm not a pushy person by nature, but I feel the extra time is really precious given my personal circumstances and my seniors at the firm have encouraged me to take the initiative to push for this. So I'm just trying my best and we'll see how it goes. :) [/QUOTE]
