안녕하세요?
몇가지 잘못알고 계시는 것이 있습니다.
2004년 10월 1일부터 몇 가지 금지된 사항이 있습니다. 이것은 흔히 Changing Immigration Status While in the UK (“Switching”) 라는 Switching leaflet.pdf 라는 파일에 게재되어 있습니다. 자세한 정보는 http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk 에서 볼 수 있습니다.
여기에 나와 있는 원문 그대로 올려 드릴테니 확인해 보시기 바랍니다.
* What is switching?
Switching is where a non-EEA national, who is already legally in the UK, changes immigration
status from one immigration category to another.
* Why is this information important?
If you are considering submitting an application you need to be aware of how your current
immigration status can affect you as an applicant for work permit employment, the Highly
Skilled Migrant programme and Innovator categories.
- What does this mean for employers?
As an employer, applying for a work permit on behalf of a non-EEA national, you need
to check the immigration status of the individual you wish to employ. If their current
immigration status is not one of the categories contained within this leaflet they should
not be allowed to switch into work permit employment.
- What does this mean for individuals?
As an individual, you need to be sure that, under your current immigration status, you
are eligible to switch into the employment category you wish to. If your immigration
status is not in one of the categories contained within this leaflet, you should not be
allowed to switch and your application may be refused.
* When do the new rules apply?
From 1st October 2004 the following rules will apply.
* Transitional Arrangements
These rules apply to all further leave to remain (FLtR) applications made using the FLR (IED)
application form submitted on or after 1st October 2004. All FLtR applications made before
this date will be subject to the previous Immigration Rules and procedures. The postmark on
the envelope in which an application is submitted will be used as the date of the application.
For applications submitted by courier, the date of application is the date received.
* Switching into Work Permit Employment
Nationals from non-EEA countries may apply to switch into work permit employment without
leaving the UK provided they satisfy the work permits criteria and have existing leave
as:
A student and have successfully graduated at a UK higher or further education
institute; or
A postgraduate doctor or dentist or trainee general practitioner; or
A student nurse; or
A working holidaymaker who has been in the UK at least twelve months; or
A participant on the Science and Engineering Graduate Scheme; or
A Highly Skilled Migrant; or
An Innovator.
Postgraduate doctors, dentists, trainee general practitioners and student nurses may only
switch into work permit employment as a doctor, dentist, general practitioner and nurse
respectively.
The presumption will be that applications made from non-EEA nationals currently in the UK
in any other capacity will be refused. Therefore, non-EEA nationals in the UK on a Sectors-
Based Scheme permit will no longer be allowed to switch into work permit employment.

the Immigration Rules at http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk.

* What happens if an application is submitted where the non-EEA national is not a member of one of the designated switching categories?
Switching from categories other than those stated in this leaflet will not be allowed except
in exceptional circumstances. These circumstances will be assessed by caseworkers on a
case by case discretionary basis. Circumstances relating to the job, employment and
labour market will not be accepted as exceptional circumstances. Only circumstances
relating to the individual which would make it unduly harsh for them to return to their
country of residence may be considered as exceptional.
