[QUOTE="legallybrunette8, post: 163804, member: 30819"] Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a tricky situation and I've just been feeling a lil more stressed ever since those new visa salary reqs got released. Although it probably won't affect me as I've heard that I'll be qualified as a "new entrant", I still have some questions and probably need confirmation/reassurance 1. I'm currently in my final year studying the LLB, but I've chosen to do my LLM (SQE1+2) after I graduate, which gives me one more year to potentially secure vac schemes/TCs/work experience. Assuming I take the graduate visa after my LLM, will I be able to apply for paralegal roles and work full time in a firm as would any UK national? Would there be any restrictions or things I would have to look out for? 2. If I do work for 2 years as a paralegal, would that make me eligible to qualify as a solicitor in the UK? How would I go about applying to firms after I've had this "qualified" status? 3. If however, I do not secure anything, I'm struggling to see what I can do. I really do want to work in the UK once I'm qualified, but I feel like there's this constant barrier of firms having to be approved by the HO to sponsor work visas. Is there anywhere I can check that will help me find approved firms? Sorry if this is so confusing but I'd appreciate anyone's help and advice! :) [/QUOTE]
