In need of urgent help !!! student.

Post by catialpank » Wed Nov 05, 2008 1:46 pm

I don't really know where to start, i am on a student visa and was studying in a college. Last month when i went to attend class, i found out that the college was closed down. They didn't inform no one nor say anything. Their website is still working and then phone number rings and no one picks up. I am really worried and don't know what to do, my visa is valid until next year, but i am scared i get it cancelled because of the school is closed. i had a planned trip in december and i really don't know what to do, please please please help !!! i also went to see the citizen advise bureau and only got an appointment with an immigration adviser next week, i am stressed out and can't sleep ... can't take this stress no more.

Your leave to remain is still valid unless it is cancelled by UKBA. However, if you leave the UK in December and come back under the same visa and you still have no course, you will be entering illegally if you tell the Immigration Officer that you are still studying.
The best thing you can do is enrol on another course as soon as possible, similar to the course which you were following before. Make sure they are DFES registered. Then write to UKBA and inform them of the change, and the reason why.
Did you change colleges after you arrived with the visa? Are you sure that the place which closed was registered? If not, then it's important that you enrol with a reputable college as soon as possible, and before you travel in December.

Follow Mr Rusty's advise and also cancel the immigration adviser and save your money.

If it is CAB the advisor will be free for the initial consultation at least.
Are you able to find another course in the short term?
