Sorry NOT, you don't qualify for home fees until you've been here at least three years as a non-student, and a lot of places won't give it to you until you have ILR.

Shucks, I thought it was 3 years total! I thought I would have been fine after my PSW.  Well, all the better that I'm preparing for UP then.  Thanks for the clarification!

I think a job that requires you to have a Ph.D. is by definition highly-skilled, but because of the salary requirements, many post-doctoral research positions are now below the cutoff due to low rates of pay in academia. It's ridiculous because if anything that is an even easier way of judging the skill level of a job.
Agree wholeheartedly. That's why I'm dreading even the thought of policing guys on Tier 1 (non-PSW). As someone said up-thread having a UK reference makes all the difference.
