In short, now is the time to cancel your tenancy, pack your belongings and book your ticket to leave the UK.

You cannot go from a level 6 course to a level 5 unless there are exceptional circumstances.

You cannot spend more than 8 years as a student/Tier 4 student in the UK.

In addition, it appears your leave has expired so you will not get a right of appeal when your Tier 4 application is refused.

In the unlikely scenario you have another Tier you could apply for, apply for that route.

The time spent below degree level before March 2009 is exempt as per old student rules.After that u can spend 3 years studying below degree level on tier 4 visa and then 5 or 6 years studying at or above degree level i.e.,level 6 or 7.

From this u can calculate ur tym spent.

Cheers

I am not able to understand what you have written.

Please see page 68 of this PDF of the PBS immigration rules:

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... MASTER.pdf

Absolutely nothing there about exemptions for pre March 2009 leave as a student as far as I can see.

Are you saying you have applied without a CAS?

Paragraph 245X(ha) of HC 395 must be read as requiring the calculation of the five years spent in the UK as a Tier 4 (General) Migrant or as a student studying at degree level or above to include time spent as a student before the introduction of Tier 4. Nothing in relevant Guidance permits a contrary result.

Dear paper pusher,
Thanks for sending me link..this is saying about only degree level study as a tier4(general)migrant,or as a student not for below the degree level.
(ha) If the course is at degree level or above, the grant of leave to remain the applicant is
seeking must not lead to the applicant having spent more than 5 years in the UK as a
Tier 4 (General) Migrant, or as a Student, studying courses at degree level or above .

IF u see this paragraph...(h) If the course is below degree level the grant of leave to remain the applicant is seeking must
not lead to the applicant having spent more than 3 years in the UK as a Tier 4 Migrant since
the age of 18 studying courses that did not consist of degree level study...

Thanks My friend riz1986... he was right for this...The time spent below degree level before March 2009 is exempt as per old student rules.After that u can spend 3 years studying below degree level on tier 4 visa and then 5 or 6 years studying at or above degree level i.e.,level 6 or 7.

For me i got extend in 2009 oct on below degree level till 2011 march as a tier 4 migrant.after that i got extend 2011 march on level 6 but my college was revoke so could not complete my level 6.I alredy applied my visa just without CAS bcos i did not get B2 certificate bcos my centre close. I m extending my biomatric untill i dont get my b2 but I just got B1 which i gave person exam so I m thinking i will get cas on level 5..bcos for level 5 b1 needed.
What u think my friend riz1986,paper pusher or any other master???/

In simple terms - when did you get your first tier 4 visa as that is the date the clock starts ticking for the number of years allowed in the UK as a student.

The next point - the revocation of your previous college. - when did that happen? Your visa may have been curtailed without your knowledge., so you may be an overstayer without being aware of the fact. It depends on what date they curtailed your visa. If it was after July 2013 then it will be a plane home and have no doubt it.
Curtailed before July 2013 then there is a chance you will be ok BUT under no circumstances will you be allowed to study NQF5 course.
One way or the other you are going to be refused based on the information you have supplied.

So you did not do anything for last one year when your college was revoked and now you are thinking to apply for a level 5 course because you only have a B1 English qualification. And it seems like you did not complete the Level 5 course in 2009.

I have only one question for you - how you are going to justify your credibility as a genuine student during the 'Credibility Interview'.

The outcome is not going to be good.
There is not a single positive for you as a student.
You have spent a year doing what exactly? Nothing I am guessing. So how are you going to show you are a genuine student. You can't apply for NQF5. You don't have B2 English so can't apply for NQF 6 or above.
What exactly are you hoping for? The only people that will gain out this will be the college that gives you the CAS after they take your money, your legal rep for defending you up until you get removed and of course take your money.
You have a hopeless case that you can no doubt spin out for years which might be your best option because you are not getting a tier 4 visa anytime soon.

What are you looking for. The tooth fairy to sprinkle magic dust and it all becomes sorted?
You keep asking the same question and the answer remains the same.

You will not be allowed to undertake a NQF5 course - end of discussion. You studied or more to the point did not study at NQF6 so you can not drop back down to NQF5 just because your college gave up its licence and you can not pass at B2. You also seem to think because you did not get a NQF5 qualification previously that it is alright to go back to study at NQF5.???? That is the very point - you have never passed anything and have to show educational progress. What have you got to show them? A few illegal working pay slips...

You are the very type of bogus student that has made life so much more difficult for those students that are actually in the uk to study and progess their education.
It is time to book that flight home.

To answer your question there are lots of Colleges probably still there who will issue you the CAS for a Level 5 course and you can apply for visa with that CAS to study a Level 5 course.

Well is it a better option for you or not.. well I have already gave the answer 'NO, your visa will be refused and you cant win on the appeal right'.

You can talk with some solicitor if they can give you any other better option

Yes get a solicitor involved - at least he can profit from your hopeless case :-)
Buy a NQF 5 CAS from another worthless college they will be more than happy to take the fees.
We can all cheer when you crawl back to the form with the astonishing news you were refused.
Sometimes it is better to just accept you had a good run and it is time to go home.

I dont know about rest of your case but as far as studying level 5 is concerned, I believe you can study in the level below you have already studied.

Court of appeal has commented in detail about the term " academic progress".

Court of appeal ruled that if academic institute accepts a student as a progressing student than it shoud be sufficient.

For the detailed decision please read Insert here

The case quoted is not in the least pertinent to the OP.
The case related to students that actually had made progress - they had PASSED exames, had attended at college.
These are all mystery items to this OP.

Now that he has got his B2, he will try to convince another college he is worthy of a CAS, he might manage it but it will be a low end establishment no doubt on the brink of losing its licence.

Any college that deals in toxic students with histories such as his are only interested in the student fees. By all means try and stick it out for ten years but at least try to get a qualification along the way....
