UK Work Visa

Tweet

Hello Mylotters, I am a USA citizen currently studying in the UK under a tier 4 student visa. Upon completion of my masters degree, I would like to stay in the UK and work. I know I will need another visa to do so once my student visa expires. From my research, I've concluded in order to obtain the visa, you need a job offer from a company willing to offer your sponsorship and then this sponsorship helps secure the visa. What I am confused about is that most companies do not seem to want to even allow you to apply if you don't have a visa but then oppositional to that, it seems you can't obtain the visa until you have a job offer with sponsorship. Any tips on how to go about this-- useful resources websites, or international websites that could offer me some direction? I am very confused and need help on the best way to go about applying for a work visa so I can remain in the UK after my studies.
