No chance! Loitering-with-intent-only-to-settle is now very difficult in the student category.

After spending 9-years in UK on student visa, you cannot extend your student visa anymore in any course. I think no college or university can issue you CAS.

It's a harsh reality but actually you have wasted your all precious 9-years, IF you don't have:

>Any assets back home...OR
>Some good valuable UK qualification.

As you cannot continue your stay as student, try to switch on some different visa category. It will be a hard task but there is no harm in trying. Living in UK on student visa for 9 years is not easy and it's all going to be wasted.

If you have obtained a master's degree previously, try for Phd or other exceptional courses to study

Ya no colleges n universities are accepting me. I have heard from somewhere that I am able to apply for ILR with the human right since I have not travelled out of UK. Does anybody have idea on that??

I don't think there is any human rights left in UK for non-EU international students.

Anyhow, for this you need to get professional advice from good immigration lawyer. But it will take a lot of money and possibally wiped-off your all savings.

If you have spent 9 years only on student visa then without wasting time better to find sponsor employer for Tier 2 or join enterpreneur route. Moreover, if you have non-EU partner then you can switch to her dependant outside the country and return back in 6 months.

If you are not eligible for further extension, HO/UKBA will not provide visa even if you manage to get admission.

It is very hard to find a company. Either you must be very lucky or have excellent links. In my case I don't have any of the above.
