No work except work placement

Tier 4 · Post by **Tier 4** » Tue Dec 20, 2022 11:21 pm

Hello,

My nephew got a student visa to study HND Course in one of the college in Scotland. The sticker on his passport says; No work except work placement
His friend applied same visa on same course, but he was given 15 hours work permission.

Just wondering, why is he was not given a permission to work at all? Or is it a mistake done by case worker, if so how it can rectify.

They both applied from Islamabad Pakistan .

Many thanks

A student's work conditions depend on the level of the course they are doing and on the type of sponsor. The maximum working hours during term time can be 20, 10 or zero. No-one gets 15. Everyone can do assessed work placements. See Appendix Student, paragraph ST 26.1:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration ... ix-student

It appears that both these students may have incorrect work conditions, and probably should both have maximum 10 hours. There will be a way to correct them, but exactly how to do that depends whether the student has travelled to the UK yet. They need to speak to the international student adviser at their college.

Many thanks for the reply,

My apologies you are right his friend got 10 hours work allowed, and him zero for the same course n college.

They both have not travelled yet

Besides the college is on probationary category. Wondering is it something to do with the status of the college.

Can i ask what is the best thing to do should he contact embassy etc for the correction of this.

Thanks

So as per paragraph ST 26.1 the "work placement only" work condition is correct. It is the other student who has incorrect conditions. If he does not request a correction now, the college will notice it when he enrols and help him get it corrected.

You mean his friend who got 10 hours work allowed, should not have got it at first place?
Thanks

It depends. If it's a probationary sponsor, yes. See ST 26.1.
