Right to study- Dependant child

[luzangg]

Good morning,
I have checked but I couldn't find a topic similar to my case. I would appreciate your help and advice.
I came from Colombia in October 2013 with a spouse visa in 5 year route which is going to expire in February 2019. My daughter, who is now 18 years old, came with me with a child dependant visa, her visa expires the same day as mine.
She has been studying at the college.
But today when she intended to enrol for her new course, starting in September, the college said that she can't study as her visa expires before July 2019. Are they right? Can't my daughter study for all this time as it would be one year until she gets her new ILR Visa?
Thank you very much for your advice in advance,
Luzangg

I reckon it may be a funding issue, more than a visa issue...? Might it be because the GCSE courses are two years? Anyway, I would get them to show you the guidance where this is the case. Make them PROVE that they cannot take your daughter.

The daughter appears to be studying at a college (possibly fee paying) and not a mainstream free state school, therefore the college makes the decision,

You're so right!!! I had completely overlooked that it is not a state-maintained school. It might be that your daughter has run out of options in the school sector? See if a school or if another college might help?

Thank you very much to both of you.
I will look for other colleges and see if they can help. Due to her English language level the local schools didnt accept her as she is over the age to take the GCSE exams at the school.
Last year, she did not paid any fees as she has been here more than 3 years.
Kind regards.
