post-study work visa after IGS

[kevin23]

Hello,
does anyone know if it will be possible to apply for a post-study work visa if I 've already had an IGS. I should mention that I plan to complete a new degree before applying for the post-study visa.
thanks

According to gordon's answer to my question here http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... highlight=:

See the IDIs for IGS/SEGS (ch5, sn13), which expressly nix the scenario you've laid out.

7. PREVIOUS PERIODS OF LEAVE
Below is guidance on the previous periods of leave (refer to paragraph 135O (v) and 135R (iii) of HC 395).
The maximum period of leave that can be granted under the International Graduates Scheme is 12 months.
All periods of leave granted as a Science and Engineering Graduate Scheme participant or an International Graduates Scheme participant must be amalgamated when considering how much leave an applicant qualifies for.
This means that an applicant can be granted 12 months of leave as an International Graduates Scheme participant and subsequently a fresh period of leave as a student. However, even if they meet all the other requirements of the International Graduates Scheme they will not be eligible for any further leave under the International Graduates Scheme because they have already been granted the maximum possible leave in this category.
