PSW Rejection, Looking for advice

[ss2000]

Hello,

I received a rejection today on grounds of:

1) The letter from university not specifying that I would eventually receive a certificate (I sent an official transcript and a letter certifying registration but it didn't state why I was not sending a certificate or that I would be receiving it eve3ntually).
2) Maintenance funds (joint account, in dollars, U.S. account, well over 800 pounds from November 10 to January 9), application filed January 31.

Can any advise on what the best course of action would be? I'm currently working and don't know if I'm legally allowed to be working now or if an appeal would extend that right. If these two things are true, I would file an appeal to extend the time I can work and allow my employers to find someone to replace me.

Also, is there any way to appeal successfully with further documentation on the letter? I think it is ridiculous and wrong that they are rejecting people. Is anyone protesting publicly?

Dear friend,

You should appeal. If you have a letter from the university stating the entire details of your study including the details of the course and the term dates and that you will be awarded a Degree then it will suffice the requirements as per guidance notes.

You can work the allowed hours if you appeal as your status as a student will be technically extended until the decision in your appeal

Regards

Paul

You need to get a letter from the university stating the facts and yes you will WIN the appeal if you qualify the criteria FULLY. Don't be afraid. Yes you can work (only part-time) as your leave falls back to the previous visa which in your case was Student, which means during the whole appeal process (till the decision is made) you can do only 20 hours.

Try and consult a solicitor and make a good application. If you can not afford then you can represent yourself as well.

All the best

thank you all for replying and more generally to everyone on this forum. it's such a hard process and it helps a lot to have others to talk to. I'm going to talk to a couple of solicitors tomorrow and will be trying to get a letter from the university or the certificate itself, which has been subsequently issued apparently. I still don't understand what the problem with the maintenance was - the dates of my statements were october 10 - january 9 - which seems like 3 months for me. but whatever...i no longer think anything the Home Office wrt to this process makes any sense except to make student visa holders' lives difficult.

On an aside, my understanding is that after graduation constitutes "not during term time" and you are eligible to work 40 hours per week. is that not accurate?
