Dear [requester], Jhope this email finds you well 1am emailing to get clarification on eligibility requirements for spouses of high-skilled workers. On the Who can apply page, under Principal Applicant Requirements, one of the requirements is Your work permit or authorized work must be valid for at least 16 months after we receive your spouse or common lawpartner’s open work permit application. Could you clarity if this requirement applies just to the validity of the principal applicant's work permit, or if their job offers must also be for a minimum of 16 months? Specifically, in the case of PGWP holders employed in a high-skilled 000356
