UK student visa on while on probation

Post by Kvg257 » Sun Nov 05, 2017 9:12 am

Hello,
I have been accepted into graduate school in London. However, two years ago I accepted a deffered prosecution for a DUI. That means that instead of pleading guilty or being convicted of the DUI, I opted for 2 years worth of treatment and a total of five years probation.
By the time I will be applying for the visa I will have completed the treatment and will be on unsupervised probation and will not have the DUI on my record. My probation officer has told me that I am allowed to travel and to study in the UK.
I am confused as to the laws regarding probation and visas and would appreciate any advice or knowledge!

Check this information from UKCISA about the general grounds for refusing, and speak to your prospective Tier 4 sponsor about this issue, as they will need to know about it as part of the sponsorship process:

I do not give immigration advice. I refer you to Immigration Rules, guidance, other online content and to your sponsor.
