In February of last year I began an accelerated year of the International Foundation Programme at a university. It was less than 6 months if that matters.
After I completed the programme I decided I didn't want to progress onto a regular 3-year programme with my then-intended degree choice and went to start over on another subject later that year. I applied for another Tier 4 visa in the UK and switched to another university and started all over on a 4-year programme which included an integrated foundation year.
I, unfortunately, ended up withdrawing a few weeks ago from the foundation year and programme due to my lack of attendance because of how uninterested I became in the degree.
Finally, I applied to the same university that I went to when I completed the International Foundation Programme to start all over once again and fortunately they accepted me today on the basis of my satisfactory high school transcripts despite my current situation with the previous university. I will, again, be doing a foundation year. And of course now I will need to apply for a Tier 4 visa for a third time by returning home. The new programme I will be enrolled in is 4 years.
My main concern is if all of this pose an issue with my new T4 Visa application and arouse suspicions? As far as I know, there is a 5-year cap on Tier 4 time limits with at or above-degree level courses. I am unsure if, since the past year I have done foundation years, they will count towards the cap, especially with the integrated foundation year?
But I'm doubly anxious about being refused the visa seeing as how this will be the third T4 I have applied for in over a year and second time I have changed subjects, 3 overall subjects. I fear UKVI will believe I am not a genuine student.
