[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 32475, member: 2672"] You have done all that you can really. It is up to the firm whether to decide on this for you or not unfortunately. They can say no, but typically do weigh things up on a case by case basis. The issue is the LPC won’t necessarily give you the right to stay in the U.K as it is not a masters level course (unless you are doing a top up course) and therefore you are likely to return home between 2021-22, and therefore the work permit process for your TC becomes a little more complicated and expensive. If the firm is not offering you a masters level LPC, one option would be to top it up to a masters level course of your own accord. You would then have the ability to apply for a post-graduate visa which would last up to two years, which would at least cover you for 2021-22 when your TC starts. But that would still be dependent on your firm agreeing to take the LPC this year. Unfortunately when accepting a TC it is always important to iron these type of details out before accepting, rather than assuming. Given the current market and visa requirements, it would be very tricky to find a job that will sponsor you before October of this year. [/QUOTE]
