No.

You can leave the UK or switch status at any point during the 3 years, but there is no option to apply for less time upfront.

If your visa expires on Jan 10, then you have until Jan 9th to put in visa application for PSW. This is also wrong. The deadline is 10 January itself. With respect, you could easily confuse and panic people with this wrong information you are posting. A good rule of thumb is to only post advice tha...

As I didn’t receive the passport of the baby yet so should I enter the answer as Yes or No for the question “is your child applying with you”. It appears to be asking if the child is included in this specific application, not asking if the child is ever going to apply in the future. If you are conc...

Thank you for the response, but if the child was born in UK during my studies, they can be added. Uk.gov mentions so.

Exactly. The above advice is wrong. See my separate post quoting the immigration rules.

You can only add a child during PSW IF ONLY the child was born during PSW. Otherwise, there are no other exceptions. But I am not a solicitor and I cannot be 100% sure. As far as I know, you would not be able to add your kid during PSW. Where are you getting this information from? It is completely ...

OP already confirmed that the university is not issuing any CAS for an extension. The university has given him to the expiry of his visa all bar one day to submit. They are unlikely to issue a CAS to extend to after that date. That's clear from their original post. The problem is that some universi...

Ask your university if they will sponsor you with a new CAS dated until the new submission date. You can then apply for an extension, which will be granted +4 months.

What about if someone who’s on a student visa should withdraw from his/her program can he/she apply for a work visa as the person has withdrawn from studies and is no longer a student ? No. Read SW 1.5A again, specifically part (a) about completing the course. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigratio...

1. What should I pick: rent or other (explain my situation)? Either is fine. Try both and see what it asks for. 2. Is it going to affect my application? No. 3. Is my situation illegal? It depends. It sounds like the tenant is illegally subletting. That could be a problem for both of you, but not in...

The deadline for any application is the expiry date of your current visa.

There may be advantages or disadvantages to applying earlier, but without knowing what type of application for permission to stay you are doing it is impossible to say.

Knowing that switching from student visa to Work Visa while in UK is not aloowed any more [...] This is not correct. The changes in July 2023 only prevent some Students from switching to a work route if they have not yet completed their course. Degree students who have not yet completed their cours...

Is it mandatory for the dependent of a student to travel within 90 days of the visa being granted, or if the dependent can choose to travel at any time even after this 90 day period? It's important to note that I am talking about the case where the dependent's visa is valid for less than 6 months a...

What are the chances of my application being successful? Is there anything I can do to improve the situation and improve my chances of attaining the PSW?

Wasn't that what you asked the lawyer? It sounds like they have already given you advice on it.

These are questions for the employer. I am not clear why you are crowdsourcing advice from the general public not from your visa sponsor. It is the sponsor employer who ascertains whether they can issued a CoS to sponsored for a Skilled worker and, if so, when the sponsored worker can apply. They al...

The course is actually beginning at the end of November or the start of December 2023. I'm not sure if my kids can join me after 2024 if my course commences before January 1, 2024. The link I posted includes the details, including the rule change for dependants of Students courses start on or after...

You need to ask your university to look into your specific case for you.

Other peoples' experiences will not really be relevant.

Just Masters. Thank you for comments.

If the course starts on or after 1 January 2024, which it appears that it would, you cannot bring dependants anyway, including your spouse.

See https://www.gov.uk/student-visa/family-members

So you are doing a PhD or Masters by research?

These are all questions he needs to ask his university.

It depends what the question asks exactly.

If it asks exclusively about criminal offences, and you know for sure that this is not that, then it does not need to be mentioned. But if either the question or the status of the offence is not so clean cut, best to declare it.

On the basis of what caseworking error have you applied for an AR?

Did they make e a mistake and your statements were actually dated on or after 7 July, not 1 July? Or did they get your date of application wrong and it was on or before 1 August?

You need professional advice on your options.

I recommend contacting an organisation that specialises in asylum advice. Your university can refer you to a local one.

But what is conidered the date of application? Online submission of application or biometric appointment? See Immigration Rules, paragraph 6.2: “Date of application” means [..] the date of payment of the relevant fees" https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-introduction
