    Awesome Matt, thank you so much! I also wonder when the skilled work visa process begin? I'm currently on a PSW and it expires in Feb 2025. Will I join EY with my graduate visa? Thanks xx

    Hi Matt, my situation is similar to that of Rachel. My PSW is valid until October 2025 and I'm looking for confirmation regarding when my SWV will be issued. i.e before my start date or after my psw expires? Thanks :)

    Related question: With regard to proof of address, is it sufficient to provide proof of the most recent address? And can a bank statement be used as reasonable proof of address?

    Hi Harshvardhan, I just saw Lingying asking a similar question and Helen said they will start the process five month ahead of the expiry date so we should be fine! I think it's gonna be joining EY with grad visa and switch to skilled work visa later
