Post by shahbazali » Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:42 pm

my friend was in uk for last 8 years. He completed different diplomas and BSC degree. now he was doing a diploma but college revoked.
he got letter from ukba to get new cas or leave the country.

how can he extend his stay in uk as he has already completed 8 years on student visa?

thanks

Depends on his circumstances,what he has previously studied and the new course he intends to study (if it is progressive from previous courses). In recent times the UKBA has placed substantial hurdles in the way of people who are aimlessly malingering in the student category, solely for the purpose of applying for UK settlement, so he may not have any viable options.

I could not get my answer. please tell me the law. can he continue further studies after 8 years on student visa as I have heard now ukba allows only 8 years on student category. 3 years below degree and 5 years on or above degree.
he still have 3 months to complete his 8 years on student visa.
his college revoked and he got letter from ukba to get new CAS.
