Thanks sah10406 for your advice. I finally got my CAS, the admission officer didn't seem to be worried about my sick leave pre Tier 4, I thought it's down to the sponsor to decide how to count my previous study period? Now that they have issued a CAS, does that mean that my one year sick leave has b...
Thanks sah10406 so much for taking the time to advise... I think I know where all these confusions come from now, the international advisor assumed that my sick leave was reported back in 2000, so she has been waiting for HO confirmation. But they weren't reported as institutions were not required t...
Hi sah10406, Thanks soooo much for your advice again. The international advisor from my uni seems to be quite uncertain, she said she has contacted their Premium account manager at HO to see what record they have on me as a student. I don't understand how come she needs HO to confirm that when back ...
Hello sah10406 Thanks again for all your guidance. According to Section 119, it says "unless the application is to study a new course, or complete a current course, within either 6 months of the time limit being reach, and 1) below applies or 11 months of the time limit being reached..." I'm quite c...
Hello sah10406 Thank you soooooooo much for all your advice again. You are far much more helpful than the advisor at my university. I think the registrar is inundated at this time...i called and emailed but heard no reply. I might have a chance then if they can take into account "compelling and comp...
Hello sah10406 I want to firstly thank you for taking the time to shepherd a fellow Tier 4 applicant. I really appreciate your help. I'm only beginning to catch up on all the changes since 2000. I learned on another forum that the Home Office would consider "compassionate circumstances", the below a...
Oh dear.... I had two surgeries and can provide evidence and doctor's letter to explain why I needed to take a year out. Will this help? Initially the stamp on my passport was for 3 years, and then in Jan 2004 I got another 6 months, so theoretically speaking, the amount of time I was in UK for stud...
Thank you so much sah10406 So even though it wasn't a "visa", it still counts because I was admitted entry as a student? Another question I have is, I was ill during my 3rd year and needed to return to Canada for a surgery. I was granted a year leave of absence in Jan 2003 so I returned in 2004 Jan ...
Hello All, I'm Canadian and came to UK to study a three year BA in 2000, back then there was no need for Canadian to obtain a visa, I was advised to show the acceptance letter from my college at border control, and they just stamped a 3 year leave to remain stamp on my passport. My question is, does...
