[QUOTE="ameliatang, post: 178925, member: 10117"] Hi [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER], I am a future trainee and international student doing a sponsored SQE originally due to start the training contract in August, having already signed the contract confirming the details. Earlier this week I was notified by my firm that they need to defer me by 6 months due to visa issues. Specifically, the LLM course ending date is after my employment start date, so my firm is worried about my right to work in the overlap. I have done lots of research and got all the help I could on this issue and I think this decision is based on a misunderstanding of the rules, especially since I have not heard of people in my position being deferred at BPP or ULaw. I was wondering if you have knowledge of anyone in a similar situation and how they resolved it, and if you have any advice on how to proceed with this. I'm quite anxious about this now as this is very short notice and I may need to find alternative ways to support myself financially in the gap. Any insight would be appreciated, thanks! [/QUOTE]
