9月11日英国对国际学生推出毕业生两年工作签证(PSW)的利好政策发布后,我们收到了不少学生和家长的关于适用学生范围和实施时间咨询。日前英国国际学生事务委员会(UKCISA)发布了一则文章,进一步明确了能够享受PSW政策的留英国际学生的毕业时间,该篇文章内容来源于英国内政部。
为了帮助大家获得最新进展,现分享该文章如下,
经英国内政部确认,有关毕业生新签证政策的详情如下:
• 将于2021年夏季后(含夏季)完成其学业的留英国际学生,将有资格申请时效为两年的毕业生PSW签证。
• 已经完成学业或将于2020年暑期完成学业的国际毕业生将无法申请毕业生PSW签证。
关于该政策的更多实施细节将有待下一步通知,但英国内政部已公布有关该政策的如下重要信息:
• 该签证政策将面向那些在满足合规记录要求的英国高等教育院校顺利完成本科(RQF6)或以上水平的学业课程且在其申请时仍持有有效学习签证(第四层级签证)的国际学生开放。
• 申请流程简单方便。申请人须支付申请费以及移民医疗附加费(IHS)。
• 申请人须接受身份、犯罪记录及安全核查。
• 留英时效为两年,不可延长,且不构成留英定居的权利。
• 留英毕业生将能从事或寻求任一领域、任一水平的工作。
• 留英毕业生若符合相关要求,可转而申请技工类工作签证。

We’ve had the following details about the Graduate route confirmed by the Home Office:
• Any international student who will complete their course in or after the summer of 2021 will be eligible to apply for the new two year Graduate route.
• Unfortunately the Graduate route will not be open to those who have completed their studies or are due to complete them in the summer of 2020.
We are still waiting on further details about implementation, but the Home Office has announced key features of the route:
• It will be open to international students who have successfully completed a course of study at undergraduate (RQF 6) level or above at a Higher Education Provider with a track record of compliance, and who have a valid and extant student visa at the time of application;
• The application process will be simple. There will be an application fee and applicants will pay the Immigration Health Surcharge;
• Applicants will be subject to identity, criminality and security checks;
• The leave period granted will be two years and will be non-extendable. Settlement rights will not be accrued;
• Individuals will be able to work, or look for work in any sector, at any level;
• Individuals will be able to switch into the skilled work route if they meet the requirements.
