Hi
I need a query regarding Tier 4 application within UK. My FLR(O) is pending before the Home Office and now need to vary this FLR(O) to Tier 4 . I am in UK and my course start date is 18 September 2015 . I need to know that for variation of application from FLR(O) to Tier 4 will 28 days limit rule will apply to me or can I make variation application any time irrespective of the fact that now more then 28 days are pending in start date of my course.
Thanks

What was your previous visa? Why did you make the FLR(O) application?

Hi my previous visa was Tier 2 (General) and my leave was curtailed as my employer ceased my employment which expired on 24 may 2015 and I filed FLR(O) on 22 May 2015 my FLR is on the basis of human rights (consideration out of rules) as I have completed 5 and half years in UK with childerns.
Thanks

Why are you not continuing with that application?

because I am not confident weather HO will accept my FLR or not , but Tier 4 will be a certain visa and by end of my course I will complete my seven years.

It won't be a certain visa without a CAS, and it sounds like your sponsor is not willing to issue it. Have they explained why not?

They its there policy that that a student has certain visa and FLR cannot be varied to Tier 4. Please can anyone advise that is there any rule where FLR cannot be varied to Tier 4

There is no such rule. There are restrictions on who can switch to Tier 4, but the short list does include Tier 2, which is your current status, extended by way of 3C.

Inspite of all these facts university is not ready to issue CAS now is there any remedy for this.
Thanks

I advise you ask for a clear explanation, in writing. If the only reason they won't issue a CAS is because they think you can't apply in the UK, they are mistaken and you can challenge it.

They may have other reasons for not sponsoring you. Perhaps they doubt you are a genuine student, and think that you simply want to stay in the UK at any price.
