Re: Curtailment letter

OP should seek informed and regulated immigration advice from a professional, not the opinions of random strangers. If you say so, this should have been your first reply. My replies are based on personal experiences but not random. I have come across one before and that's why I asked OP to post the...

Re: Curtailment letter

That will have been a curtailment letter prompted by the Tier 4 sponsor losing their license. I accessed one such curtailment letter issued 4 years ago. It was issued by HO after a HTS status univ notified that the student ceased his studies. You are incorrect. The list Tier 4 applicants who do not...

Re: Is bank statement(separate account) with our address is enough to show that we are living together?

Banks have a cutoff date after which the month's statement will be ready. For instance, say bank A has set 20th of every month as the date. Your updated info (name(s)/address) will be shown in the statement after the next 20th date. You can also request the bank to expedite the process so it is upda...

Re: Curtailment letter

I differ with sah10406's that a application for new Tier 4 visa cannot be made in UK. I remember very well from a curtailment letter of someone which I saw a year ago. It said clearly that a new application can be made before the curtailment date. You should have to get CAS from another univ or you ...

Re: Curtailment letter

You're in very very critical stage. Get advice from an immigration legal expert at the earliest. I think your curtailment letter will tell you in detail what you could do/you can't. You will have to get enrolled to a course in another university who could issue CAS for your new visa. Sooner the bett...

Re: Need help with tier 4 application Urgent!

1. I think you are expected to list all countries you have visited in the last 10 years. If you have enough space list them all. If not, start with recent and include as much as you can. 2. Tier 2 ICT Dependent is the right one, as it is specific. PBS dependent is generic. (hope someone throws more ...

No way separate accounts even though same bank will be accepted for such. Only a joint account statement showing both names with address underneath do good. Never take a chance!!

Or else an utility bill with both yours and your partner's name in it with address.

Re: Can Dependent extend visa???

I think vinny's reply says all. Let me try to answer you in simple terms. Your questions show you need to get thorough understanding of Tier 4 visa procedure. A dependent cannot extend visa on their own, if your visa gets extended, theirs will get extended too. Tier 4 visa is for a student who has b...

Re: Tier 4 Visa work after thesis submission

I think Home Office reply is clear enough which says all. A PhD student CANNOT work full time after submitting PhD thesis (soft bound). Visa restrictions for work (20 hrs) remain the same till he switches to DES which entitles one to take full time work. Say you submit your thesis for viva by end of...

Choosing univ depends on your circumstances -- you can fund yourself or you expect funding. For self-funding, PhD fee for experime...

Re: Is bank statement(separate account) with our address is enough to show that we are living together?

I think proof for living together is mandatory even though you switch from one category to the other. Better attach a proof rather than leaving room for assumption. The proof you show should have both your names together with the address. Usually most applicants use a bank statement of their joint a...

PhD students a different cohort! (I was one before!) Not to confuse with under/postgrads, as PhD is not covered under any vacation scheme. Only if the univ is totally closed for holidays, for instance Christmas, you may be allowed full time. Even then it is a bit tricky to say when is a vacation tim...

Please see this post: Tier 4 visa refusal - AR - new visa

One of the Moderators have clearly advised the procedure in multiple posts.

I agree with your point CR001, the caseworker had tried to do their best but anyway our innocent mistakes led to refusal.

Thanks for your prompt advice!!

Re: Tier 4 visa refusal - AR - new visa

Well. I agree with your point we failed to show required maintenance, which is a genuine innocent error. When I was given a 2-month extension after my visa expiry, I was thinking I should only be showing maintenance for required 2 months which resulted in refusal. I was actually saving funds and I w...

Yes CR001. I'm aware I won't be able to upload or submit new docs for AR.

I'm very concerned if I submit my AR on 30th July and then plan to submit new visa application between 22nd and 24th Aug, I feverishly don't expect to receive AR decision before 22nd Aug. So if HO is taking time to make a A...
