Tier 1 Post-Study Work Same Day Application Processing - From £250 + Home Office Fee
This is a 2 year UK Leave/visa extension under which new graduates can apply. Graduates currently on the 1 year International Graduates Scheme visa can  switch into the Tier 1 (Post-Study Work) visa/permit to extend their UK visa by a further 12 months.

The transitional process to switch from IGS to Post-Study Work up until now has involved filing the Tier 1 (Post-Study Work) application form and supporting documents to the Home Office BIA by post and took between 4 -14 weeks to process. On December 1st 2008 the UKBA began to offer a same day processing service for a limited number of Tier 1 Post-Study Work applications. We anticipate the same day service to be available for Tier 1 (G) applications in the near future.

The Tier 1 (G) points are gained through educational qualifications, work experience and previous earnings. Overseas Graduates in the UK under the International Graduates Scheme (IGS) can switch into the T1G category when/if they have gained sufficient points.
