ongratulations! Please, does this mean weekly hours shouldn’t be more than 38hours for skilled workers

Thanks.

No, the minimum standard working hour for full time employment is 34 or 35hrs if i'm right.

But there is something called "minimum rate" and "going rate" for each role, and your base pay which your employer is offering you must be equal to or higher than going rate.

So to be safe, a reduction in hours (which shouldn't be less than the minimum full time working hours) will keep you safe or a very high hourly rate should be offered to you.

What kinda job is it....if its a big deal job...U fit try your luck with embassy oooo.....

Is the company very much aware u are overseas....or did u use a UK address or phone number to apply?

It cost companies money to hire from abroad..thats why they avoid it......Small company will pay 199£ + immigration skill charge of 364 per year to sponsor while a large company will pay 199£ + 1000£ per year....

so be sure they are aware of your status and willingness to sponsor... no go waste plane money
