Hi I have a friend who is confused about this three years rule.
He entered the UK in July 2011 and since then he has studied English language courses. Now, he wants to extend his english course for another year until July 2014. As his new course is more than 6 months he will be given two months extra and his new leave will be valid until Sep 2014.
Now, there are some points:
-Three years means the visa length or course length? For 5 years degree level studies it is clearly said that the course length is counted and not visa length.
2-Saying visa length is counted. Now he is going to apply for a course from Sep 2013 until July 2014. The new leave (including two extra months) will lead to total length of more than 3 years. Then, what will happen? The caseworker will refuse the visa? Or he will give new leave up to total length of three years? If we count only course length he could give new leave up to total 3 years and that would be enough to finish the course.
Is there anybody has the same or similar experience?
Any help much appreciated.
