Hello there, I have a situation here and I hope someone knowledgeable can offer an insight. I am currently enrolled with a HEI as a PhD student, self sponsored. However, I have now been offered a 50% scholarship with another one, and I would like to take it. Unfortunately due to the new rules, i wil...

Can someone please advise me accordingly. I was on PSW and was working for my company on self employed basis. Now I will be receiving my BRP soon on tier4, and I know I cannot continue to work as self employed. My plan A is to register with an umbrella company to get my wages paid. However, I would ...

Thank you diehard.
Luckily I wont need to go through appeal.
Received my documents now and I think it was successul.
Waiting for BRP now

Thank you Greenie for reassuring me.
Received my documents now and waiting patiently for the BRP.

Thank you Greenie and Arsenal for all your support and guidance

I think you application will fail. You cannot state in your application that your CAS is pending!! Its a vital document. If you could call it pending than you can call every other document you do not have pending and then what? Luckily, my application did not fail. I received and forwarded my CAS a...

I am so happy I can post here...It has been a scary 2 months + Service used : Postal Date of submission : 02-12-2011 Date of acknowledgement : dated 07-12-2011 Further documents asked or not : No Date of Bio Metric letter : 12-12-2011 Had to delay my biometrics because at this stage I had no CAS, no...

Thank you!

Thanks Arsenal. I am grateful

Thanks Greenie. I suppose i dont need to fill a change of circumstance form then, but just all the outstanding documents with a good cover letter?

The address is the same as the one on the acknowledgement letter, Sheffield, S3 8WA

I just saw that the salary for a web designer is 26k. If you choose that then u might qualify

Hello, Thanks in advance for reading this. I submitted my tier4 application last month without CAS and ATAS, and wrote a cover letter to the caseworker that I will supply those later when I get them. I have received acknowledgement and biometrics letter. Now I have received my CAS and ATAS, where sh...

Thank you Greenie for the prompt response. I am grateful. One more thing, assuming i get refused (which is most likely to happen), i will still be eligible to apply out of the country (with the required documents) immediately without attracting the automatic one year ban?
Thanks again

Hello, I submitted a tier 4 application exactly 2 weeks ago, and because I did not meet the requirements (No CAS and ATAS), I was worried my application will be rejected as invalid, although my lawyer put in a cover letter stating we will send those in due time. I know I will most likely be refused,...

Am not an expert, but the guidance says you cannot apply in-country for a course that starts more than 1 month after your current visa expires. Since PSW will still be available then, why not apply for it instead when you finish your course in February? This is assuming you get your result and get a...

Thank you very much die hard. You have shed light to my case. I hope your appeal comes tthrough if you decide to.
Thanks Lucapooka for your invaluable help and advice.
Now I can submit my application with clear mind.

Thanks again

Thank you very much Lucapooka.
Can you please give me a home office reference for this? Or a case reference where it has happened before?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Lucapooka for replying. But what if I do get rejected after everything, would I have overstayed and worked illegally? referencing the advice you gave here:http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=91014 if she withdraws the application; will she have to declare she overstayed and the h...

Can someone please advice me on what will happen to the protection under section 3c if application is denied? And subsequent appeal denied also? This is because I want to make an application and will be denied if I dont have a document, but my lawyer said she will ask them to hold on till its sent, ...

I am not an expert, but based on the guidance: You need to have enough money to cover the first year of your course and 9 month maintenance fee. If you are in London, you need £800 for 9 months = £7200. If you are outside London you need £600 for 9 months = £5400. This is in addition to any balance ...

Thanks tuliprose for the reply. I am applying for PhD at a University. I already have a masters degree, so am not sure if the next masters will count as an academic progression. And I really want a PhD not just to stay here, but for the academic standing as its really my field. I am just worried if ...

Ok. So I decided to pursue a PhD. My PSW visa expires on the 5th of December. I decided to apply for PhD here quite late, because I couldnt decide if I should do it in the UK considering the money involved. So I applied, got a supervisor, everything decided but I have not received an official offer ...

Hi All, I have been on PSW since December 2009 and it expires Dec 5th 2011. I have been working for the past 6 months as a contract Software developer for my Trust. I say contractor cos its not permanent, but am not paid like IT contractors (I earn £15 ph, 40 hrs pw) I have been looking for permane...

I can assure you that this is SCAM. Do not even bother wasting your credit to call him. Western union = SCAM Advance fee for job = SCAM Saying they will process the visa and sent to your British embassy = SCAM Everything spells SCAM so please don't bother. Anybody can pass their interview. If its th...
