See Appendix Finance, paragraph FIN 1.1: FIN 1.1. Where money is held in one or more foreign currencies, this will be converted into pound sterling (£) using the spot exchange rate which appears on www.oanda.com for the date of the application. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigrati...
Can you please let me know of estimated time period between filing the application and getting the graduate visa decision so i can leave enough time for processing before my student visa expires. The application portal itself gives the estimated processing time, but you do not need to factor that t...
This information will significantly aid me in aligning the submission of my application with my student visa's expiration to ensure a seamless transition. There is no need to align anything. The earliest you can apply is when your university has notified the Home Office of your qualification. The l...
Your university checks and monitors your ATAS clearance as part of their duties as your visa sponsor. You need to ask them if you need to take any action.
You are confusing two different matters. If she had received a 90-day vignette, she clearly would need to travel to the UK within the 90-day validity of that vignette. However, she has been given a vignette covering her whole stay, because her stay is less than six months. As such, she can travel to...
I think the restriction of the student visa is 20 hours of work per week in term-time, full-stop. That applies whether you are working within or outside the UK. [...] So, yes, working in term-time, whether in the UK or abroad, would be a breach of the terms of the student visa terms. Let's call thi...
I know someone that’s a friend to the affected student. I was just trying to get some clarification about the situation. Given all the variables, and both our distance from the person in question, the best thing is for the student to get one-to-one advice on their current situation and options. The...
Can you clarify if this is about correctly or incorrectly curtailed Student leave, and what is your interest? From your other posts, you appear to be not a Student but an employer? If so, and if it is about an employee's right to work, I would strongly recommend getting proper compliance advice from...
He needs to contact the international student adviser at his university and ask for their advice and support on his options. They are best placed to help him.
Can Post study work Dependent ie child aged 15 years continue to study in school (GCSE) as her mother went to india already in June 2nd They can be in the UK as long as they continue to meet the care requirement for the dependant child of a Graduate, as in Appendix Graduate paragraph GR 13.1: https...
That’s where I thought it might land and makes the requirements on partner funding seem somewhat pointless. It's pointless for you, but not pointless in general. It is a very useful provision for students who are applying with or joining their partner who is applying at the same time or who came ea...
I assume in this case the visa application would be rejected and the evidence of funds may need to be provided by my partner themselves or their parents. I agree, but it would be a refusal under the immigration rules not a rejection for invalidity. While there is provision at Appendix Finance FIN 5...
[...] given that my partner applying for the course has only been living with me for less than 6 months [...] Just checking, so they are already in the UK on a different visa? If so, what type, and does it allow them to switch to a Student visa in the UK? Or are they applying in their home country ...
Summary : SW 1.5A. restricts students from switching to skilled worker. SW 26.4A. restricts students from switching to skilled worker dependant. Agree. Although note that Appendix Student has not been amended to restrict a Student from switching to Student dependant, despite it being a "work route"...
This may explain it! I guess so, if "another route" includes being the dependant of a worker, although was never mentioned in any of the prior messaging, only "work routes" themselves. Given that dependants have full work rights, I guess it is in effect a "work route". So it means that if a Student...
SW 26.4A. is in the dependants’ validity requirements section. I guess its purpose is to also restrict a student’s dependants from switching to the skilled worker route? However, if the applicant is a dependant, then the applicant does not have permission as a student. So, this rule, as it stands, ...
Formal announcement today that for courses starting on or after 1 Jan 2024 only PhD students and research Masters students can bring dependants. The provision was added into Appendix Student today at 3pm, via a Statement of Changes in the Immigration Rules: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications...
From 3pm today, a Statement of Changes restricts switching from a Student visa into a sponsored work route. No effect on switching to the Graduate visa, just on switching to any other work visa sponsored by an employer. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/statement-of-changes-to-the-immigrati...
There is a lot of negativity in the press and Home Office about students bringing their dependents hence we think it might be better if the student applies first which might increase the chances. This has absolutely no bearing on the application. That's not how visa applications work. ECOs cannot r...
For example when it gets rejected I will only have my passport back at the airport when I leave the country, which I do not want to do. Where are you getting this idea from? You keep your passport throughout any application for permission to stay. But moreover, even if this were correct why would y...
I have learnt reading eligibility that if you are in UK you do not need to show funds? Is that right I have read and understood correctly? Where are you reading that this will apply to Indian nationals? Because the Rules are clear that the only people who can apply in the UK are New Zealanders addi...
Can I pay into his bank account the day the EOI is selected and apply for the visa on the 29th day? This will satisfy the 28 day requirement . Will the Home office want to have the money staying around for longer? As you say, the requirement is 28 days requirement. Where are you reading that the re...
