Finish studies extend Tier 4 Visa

Post by hope4mersey » Thu May 23, 2019 7:37 pm

hello everyone.

My question is

I have a valid Tier 4 Visa which expire in August.

My convocation ceremony for my master's course will be in July.

Now under the rules of Tier 4 Visa, I am allowed to stay in UK for upto
4 months after completion of my studies. While my visa expire after
1 month of my studies.

Can I extend my Visa for 3 more months?

Thanks,

There is no option of extending Tier 4 visa. You have to leave country on or before your visa expires.

or

You have to secure a job and get sponsored under tier 2 general to stay in country

The extra 4 months (or 2 months for a course <12 months) is already built in to your visa. You should get the length of your course, as given on your CAS, plus the extra months.

You seem to be confusing the date of your graduation with the end date of your course. If you still think it is wrong, speak to the international student adviser at your university who can check it for you.
I do not give immigration advice. I refer you to Immigration Rules, guidance, other online content and to your sponsor.
