ILR after Ancestry Visa

Post by fcbayern22294 » Sat Oct 29, 2016 10:22 am

Hi, just some background info:
Nationality: Pakistani
Visa type: Ancestry
Living in the U.K. since the summer of 2013 on a student visa and the summer of 2016 on an ancestry visa.

My question is that I came back in 2016 on an ancestry visa before my fourth and final year of my degree. I had a 10 week internship as soon as I came back and have been offered a graduate role for when I finish my final year of university. After this I intend to work as normal, but I am concerned about this year that I am at university. I have worked in the summer and need to finish my degree as a condition to start my job which I've been offered starting next year, I will have proof of this. Would it negatively impact me spending an academic year as a full-time student even though it is directly linked to me getting a job? In total it would be approximately a year I do not have a job out of the 5 years when the time comes, but that year would be spent in full time education trying to obtain a degree to complete the requirements for a job offer I received following a 3 month internship as soon as I got here? I have used a combination of the money I have earned those 3 months, savings and support from my parents (living at their flat rent free etc.) to fund my final year of university and obviously haven't breached the conditions of claiming public funds etc. but am quite nervous a year in full time education will come back to haunt me. Should I just search for part time work during my final year even though I don't need it and it would adversely impact my academic performance?

Sorry for the long post and TIA for any guidance.
