I studied 3 years on BA course. Then I studied on 1 year MA course. However I had to rewrite my dissertation, so I extended my visa for 1 more year as resit examination visa. Now I wonder, will it mean that I have 5 years in total limit already and I will not be able to study anymore or will my resit examination visa not be included in 5 years limit and I have 1 more year to study until I reach the limit.We will limit the overall time that can be spent on a student visa to 3 years at lower levels (as it is now) and 5 years at higher levels. At present, there is no time limit for study at or above degree level.
In other words, did I study 4 years in total now from the point of view of new immigration rules or did I study for 5 years? Cheers.
