Eligibility for re-entry in UK

Hi all,

2010 i went to uk as student with tier 4 visa but exceeded my work hours. The same year i went back to my home country before my visa expires and i bought the plane ticket using my own money. Then this year or next year i plan to back to uk as a dependant of tier 2 visa holder.

Can someone advise if i might face refusal from entry clearance application?


Thank you. Appreciate all the answers and opinions.

Explain a little more about what happened when you exceeded your permitted hours for work. Were you caught by the UKBA? Visa curtailed? Need more info

Check part 9 of the immigration rules: general grounds for refusing:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration ... or-refusal

A breach of work conditions could be a mandatory refusal if paragraph 320(7B)(b) applies. Note the list of exceptions where the breach of conditions was some time ago.

If 320(7B)(b) does not apply, it could still or a discretionary refusal if 320(11) applies.

Hi Equitydealer,

I was not caught by ukba, the reason why i went back to my home town is because i didnt renew my student visa. My visa was not curtailed or anything, I just went back home before my existing visa expires.


Hi Sah10406,

Thank you for the helpful info. If i would depend on the link you send, it means i am already eligible to re enter the uk is it?

if you have not been caught, than i think you dont need to worry. although ukba checks for previous employment, but if your new application is genuine than you dont see any problem.
