Make sure your college is on the Tier 4 Sponsors Register before renewing your visa
An increasing number of overseas students are running into difficulty renewing their student visas where the educational provider is not listed on the Tier 4 Register of sponsoring colleges, according to Immigration Adviser Evelie Padadac.
Since Tier 4 of the Points based System was implemented on 31 March this year, colleges must be licensed by the UK Border Agency (UKBA) to take international students on student visas.
In country students already in the system do not come to light until they want to extend their visas.
The new 56 page ‘TIER 4 (G)’ form (APPLICATION FOR A GRANT OF LEAVE AND BIOMETRIC IMMIGRATION DOCUMENT UNDER TIER 4 GENERAL STUDENT), which replaces the FLR form, clearly requests the ‘Sponsor Licence Number’ in section 3.
Evelie, an OISC registered adviser with Bison UK, has advised several students this week whose visas are expiring but are studying at colleges not yet licensed by the UKBA.
Some have even been told by the non-registered college that their “applications have been sent to the Home Office”, which leaves the students in a very dangerous position since the application, in the unlikely event that it had been submitted, would be rejected.
Evelie was worried that they could be left stranded if their visas expired. She said:
“The students are being kept in the dark by the college, which has applied for the sponsor licence, whilst the clock is ticking on their visas.
“If their visa expires they will have to leave the UK and could be branded an ‘overstayer’.
“Others have had their applications returned by the UKBA advising them to “register with a licensed college”.
You can check the Sponsors Register on the ‘Sponsoring students under the points-based system for immigration‘ of the UKBA website.
Colleges appearing on the register will be given a Tier 4 ‘A’ or Tier 4 ‘B’ rating based on a scoring system, but the main point is that they must be listed.
Colleges not yet listed may be one of the hundreds of educational institutions still be going through the accreditation process with one of the accreditation bodies such the British Council, BAC or ASIC.
ASIC publishes a directory of colleges accredited or currently going through the process.
Once a college is accredited it can apply for a Tier 4 licence, which will take around six weeks and involve an inspection visit by a UK Border Agency officer.
Cynthia Barker, Centre Manager of Majestic College, which has received its Tier 4 Licence, said the whole accreditation and licensing process could take up to nine months.

http://www.immigrationmatters.co.uk
i want to know about my college. Why its not in Tier 4 list now becuse when i got a admission in college that time college name was in list.
You need to ask the your college why it is no longer on the tier 4 sponsors register or speak to the UK Border Agency. You could also try the accreditation body which accredited the college – e.g. ASIC, BAC or the British Council.
Is Oxford college of london is registered on Tier 4 system visa of not?
Plz suggestion coz i have already applied for i 20.
Thank you
Check the article which refers to the UK Border Agency’s register of sponsors – http://www.immigrationmatters.co.uk/make-sure-your-college-is-on-the-tier-4-sponsors-register-before-renewing-your-visa.html – in order to “Make sure your college is on the Tier 4 Sponsors Register before renewing your visa“.
can i find a sponsor’ license number by entering its address? or telephone number?
sir,
please give me true information about the university in Leicester.
thanx.
UK Universities are listed on the UCAS and other websites.
what is differnt between A Rating and B Rating ?

Colleges are awarded an A or B rating and added to the tier 4 register of sponsors. To find out more about ratings see: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/employers/points/sponsoringmigrants/sponsorsandratings/
Dear sir….
I am regular student in college but my college is still not in register of sponsors.
so what shall i do,, i want to travel abroad,,,,reply me thanks,,,,
we (me and my friends) used to be enrolled in a training provider that doesnt give us proper education that we have expected from them.we arrived here oct.2008 and was under the old rule but we are just concerned if we can transfer to an institution that is not yet registered in the list of tier4 as we we have read in the rules that old rules still apply to us unless our visa stay runs out.please help.thank you.
The article Make sure your college is on the Tier 4 Sponsors Register before renewing your visa, expains that “An increasing number of overseas students are running into difficulty renewing their student visas where the educational provider is not listed on the Tier 4 Register of sponsoring colleges”.
If you are going to change college, why would you go to another college which is not on the Tier 4 sponsors register?
You can check the Sponsors Register on the ‘Sponsoring students under the points-based system for immigration‘ of the UKBA website.
In the article Make sure your college is on the Tier 4 Sponsors Register before renewing your visa, expains that “An increasing number of overseas students are running into difficulty renewing their student visas where the educational provider is not listed on the Tier 4 Register of sponsoring colleges”.
You should talk to your college and ask them when they expect to be approved and appear on the Tier 4 sponsors register?
You can also check the Sponsors Register on the ‘Sponsoring students under the points-based system for immigration‘ of the UKBA website.

our employer wants us to transfer school and enrol in the training center that gives regular employees nvq training but i am concerned it is not yet registered as tier4 sponsor.our current school is registered but is not giving us proper education that’s why we want to consider transferring.our visa is not yet due til 2011.what are will be the consequences?is it true that we can be sent home RIGHT AWAY? pls help thanks a lot.
Cecile, you are right to be concerned.
To answer your question, it is unlikely you will be sent home “right away”, however, you should transfer to a REGISTERED provider, even if your visa was issued prior to the Tier 4 rules. See: Make sure your college is on the Tier 4 Sponsors Register before renewing your visa - http://www.immigrationmatters.co.uk/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=1644
I have a number of concerns here:
Why does your employer want you to transfer to this training provider? You are the student and you are responsible for complying with your visa - your student visa has nothing to do with you employer and you are not tied to an employer.
Why is your employer recommending this a non-registered company? Clearly, you should only be transferring to a Tier 4 UK Border Agency Registered Sponsoring college, not one that is ‘not yet’ on the UK Border Sponsors register or ‘in the process’ of registering. How can you be sure they will be accepted as sponsors by the UKBA or how long it would take? Do you want to take the risk?
See Tier 4 Sponsors Register - http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/employersandsponsors/pointsbasedsystem/registerofsponsorseducation
An NVQ training provider giving training to employers for UK resident staff (e.g. Train to Gain funded NVQ’s) may be a perfectly good NVQ training organisation, but not geared up or registered to take international students.
Cynthia Barker, a qualified Immigration Adviser and Centre Manager of Tier 4 registered NVQ provider Majestic College ,has dealt with thousands of overseas students. She said:
“Many well meaning employers are totally misguided in this and other immigration areas on student visas and work permits. It is the visa holder’s responsibility to comply with the rules on student visas, and at the end of the day it is the student, not the employer (or relative) who suffers when their visa is cancelled or not renewed because they took advice from a non-professional.
“If you, the student visa holder, do not obey the immigration rules on student visas (and or Tier 4) you risk being sent home and being banned from returning to the UK for up to 10 years under immigration rule HC321.”
My advice is simple: find a registered college which provides the right NVQ course for you. That way you are safer.

There are a number of colleges which have not received sponsorship that in order to keep financially afloat fraudelently put pressure upon its existing students to pay money. The courses, as they haven’t received sponsorship, are usually worthless.Get out now!

I am among one of the students who have been deceived by a college who once was accredited and now has lost its license and it is not a Tier 4 sponsor anymore. I paid the full fee for a MBA but after I finished my course they say the have no partnership with any University so all I can get is a PG Dip with them. The fee for a PG Dip course was at time of registration £1000 less than what they charged for MBA.
Is there any way where I can get a partial or a full refund? I am now applying for an extension with an accredited college and unfortunatelly the course I will be doing is going to be the same one I had studied once before.
You could pursue a claim through the County Courts, or complain to their awarding body and accreditation bodies such as BAC or ASIC.

You should talk to the college and find out what the problem is with their licence, as this will affect your application. You could ask for a refund of your fees if the college is no longer able to take overseas students.

As long as the college is on the UK Border Agency they can recruit overseas students on student visas. You could ask why they have a B Rating, which may be because the UKBA require them to make improvements.

You need to find out why they are no longer on the Tier 4 Sponsors Register. It could be a temporary measure until the college meets the UK Border Agency’s standards. You could also try contacting the UKBA area monitoring unit.

If your college is closing you must find a new college before you renew your visa. If you are on a student visa you must be in full time study at an approved college – on the Tier 4 Sponsors Register.

Does it make any difference? Kindly reply me as soon as possible
Kind regards
hi…
What really happens to institutions which lose their licences within one month or a few days after being registered for Tier 4?
And why would UKBA issue them licences in the first place when it is not sure that those institutions can keep their standered even for a few days… It’s really funny…
And then who is responsible and who will refund the money of students who lose thousands of pounds when their visa are being rejected by home office bec the colleges lost their licences within a month of registration with UKBA for Tier 4?
Can you kindly give a satisfying answer …
Thanks
Kind regards

I applied for a post study visa on 19th March, 2009 having completed a post grad diploma, within the old rules before Tier 4 came into effect. My college had been under dfes and was then visited by BAC and received accreditation by the time i submitted my application. I got a refusal letter from UKBA claiming that my college was not appearing as a listed college under DFIUS. By the time i sent my application my college was not under TIER 4 but is now in the sponsor list from August, 24. My question is can i question the UKBA as to why they did not offer a post study visa to me when the college was already accredited by BAC, as per mid March. P/s advice. I still have valid LTR.
dear sir,
Please Give me the College List which Sponsor License canceled.
Thankin You.

Dear Sir
My current student visa expires on 31 august, and I need a 3 month extension to complete the course. My college, SAE Institute had been registered under dfes, but is only due to receive a decision on accreditation from BAC today (and then they have to apply for a tier 4 licence. is it worth me making an application now, in the hope that I will be entitled to appeal the refusal, and that by then, SAE might have obtained its tier 4 licence? Or do I need to go home before my visa expires, and apply for a new visa in a few months time when hopefully they will have a licence?
Many thanks
Susannah
please inform me thtat rayat london college is now in tire4 college list
http://www.immigrationmatters.co.uk/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=1644 Check it for yourself – follow the link to the UKBA Sponsors Register in the above article.
Based on experience in dealing with this for Majestic College, if the college is only due to receive it’s BAC accreditation today (assuming it gets it today) it could be another 6 to 8 weeks before the are licenced by the UK Border Agency and appear on the Tier 4 Sponsors Register.
They still have to apply to the UK Border Agency who now appear to be inspecting all new colleges before granting a licence to sponsor overseas students.
You should urgently talk to an immigration adviser. See the OISC website for a list of advisers in your area.

Ask them. I cannot predict the future! Pardon the pun.
If your college is off the UK Border Agency Sponsors Register your visa will probably be refused. You could also be refused entry if you obtain a visa for a college which is later suspended.

Regarding the recommencement fee for moving to another care home. What if they still insists that I should pay for it? what will be the legal action that I should take? I already explained my side, my reasons why im moving to other employer. Then they just sent me a student concern form which appears to me is like a complain againts my employer which is not my main concern and not the reason for my transfer
I need your help. I was in UK for a Tourist Visa in 2006. Before expiry of my visa, I applied for a work permit. A day before the expiration of my visa, my sister received a denial of the application. During that time, I was already considering marrying a British citizen that I was not informed of the denial. Until July of 2007, I applied for a Fiancee visa. It was denied because of my overstaying in UK during the validity of my Tourist Visa.
I intend to get a Student Visa this time. Will I be denied because of my overstay in 2006.
Thank you for your concern on this matter

What do you think? What would you do if you were the entry clearance office (ECO) looking at your application?
Suggest you see a visa specialist
I do not understand what your complaint is all about, but it seems like an employment issue. You need to see an EMPLOYMENT specialist or try the Citizens Advice Bureau.
If you have an IMMIGRATION issue, see an OISC registered immigration adviser or try the IAS.

Dear Sir,
I am a international student here and im enrolled in one of the college in birmingham. Ive signed a 3 yr contract with them. Im bit confused of what contract i am going to follow, my school or my employer? Does the school have any hold with the student if one decides to transfer to another college or move to other employer? am i in a breach of contract with the school?
What does your contract say? Most educational establishments do not tie a student to an employer, and no employer can force you to work there.
the contract says that i am not allowed to transfer to other care home without their permission. and with that im in breach of contract they said. In my case i informed the school but they still insisted that I should not resign or else i will fine a fee of £5oo.
I am here reading bba in millinium city academy in oxford circus I had paid my one year fee already and now only I new that it’s tomuch then the other collage doo. Any way I have paid for this year. But I want to change my collage next year can you plz advice me what should I have to do?
Thanks alot. Ur sincerly

hi sir kelly,
sir my sister has a 3 year visa now.however the school that i enrolled her to is still waiting for the inspection by the BAC to happen this coming oct 12 and 13.the result of the inspection will not be given until oct 29.my sister cannot come anyway yet coz she has to sit on her nsg board exam this coming nov 29 and 30.my worry is obviously the school is not guaranteed to pass,can i enroll my sister to your school and how much will it cost?and if the school will pass its accreditation how long it takes to be on the website?ive been trying to ring the bison office and the school but it is engaged andthe phone will hang up then.pls do give me a reply so that i will know what to do please and i have alternative of knowing what right course of action i will take.
once again,more power to you…
There are plenty of alternative colleges listed on the Tier 4 Sponsors Register (see link at: http://www.immigrationmatters.co.uk/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=1644).
If they are still awaiting a BAC accreditation inspection, which will be followed by an apllication to, and inspection by, the UK Border Agency, they are most likely many months away from obtaining a Tier 4 licence.
You should take advice from a Solicitor or Citizens Advice (CAB), as it may be considered an unfair or unenforceable contract.
Companies are not allowed to “fine” you. See story regarding the banks penalties on overdraft charges.
hi sir,
good day.sir we paid the college 800 pounds for a deposit.since the school is still awaiting accreditation and my sister has a visa granted by the uk embassy in manila.i cant wait now for her to come.sir is there a chance for me to withraw the money that i deposit so that i can i use it for her to go to another college and for her to come over here?do you think i have a win case about this?in case whos the best person i can go to for help if the school is not happy to give me back the money?thank you sir and hoping to hear from you again…
You should direct the question to the college and ask them if they will return your money. What did you sign? is the deposit refundable????. If not see a Solicitor or Citizens Advice.
Our advice is contain in:
Make sure your college is on the Tier 4 Sponsors Register before renewing your visa
Unfortunately cecos london college licence is cancelled by home office.i am very frustrated coz i have take admission in this college for sepetember intake and my case was a student appeal winning case.now college lost its licence.i am too much worry.my passport is still with bhc.anyone plz help in this situation.

Then now, I find out my school is no longer listed on tier4 sponcer register. is it going to be affect on my application? Would you recommend me to change school even though I am still waiting for my visa?
My colloge London Institute of Technical Education lost its license after i have applied for visa. So i have to face refusal. can anyone tell me how can we judge the credibility of our sponsor.
As it happened in my case when i got admission my college was listed but during visa processing it was removed from the list.
is there any method by which we check our sponsors credibility.
Thanks.

i want to know that LONDON ESSEX COLLEGE is listed in UKBA according to them but when i checked the list it was not but it is listed at ASIC so plz plz tell me that is this college is gennuine????or can i take admmision there????
A college does not have to be registered on ASIC (one of the accreditation bodies) to be listed on the UK Border Tier 4 Sponsors Register. Check the UKBA register.

hi…
What really happens to institutions which lose their licences within one month or a few days after being registered for Tier 4?
And why would UKBA issue them licences in the first place when it is not sure that those institutions can keep their standered even for a few days… It’s really funny…
And then who is responsible and who will refund the money of students who lose thousands of pounds when their visa are being rejected by home office bec the colleges lost their licences within a month of registration with UKBA for Tier 4?
Can you kindly give a satisfying answer …
Thanks
Kind regards

Good point, however, I’m sorry I cannot provide a ’satisfying’ answer for your question, as there is no satisfactory answer!
You need to take this up with the college

Hi! I would like to ask if our school NVQ Training Group is listed in UKBA sponsorship. We haven’t found it but our agency insisted that they authentic school. We already asked the assistance of CAB.They also told us it is bogus.We told our agency about it and the NVQ training group told us that they are still on going process. They also trying to tell us that it doesn’t matter if the school is not listed in UKBA before march 31, 2009 or what called Tier 4.
I get confused. Pls enlighten me in this matter. i would really appreciate your response. Thank You so much.

Hi Charles! I’m on a student visa here in the UK, my visa expired last January 2009 and until now I’m still waiting for the result of my visa extension. I’ve done and submitted all the papers that they require. I’m just wondering why is it taking them too long to process my visa extension. I’ve been waiting nearly a year now. Everytime I ring them to make a follow they said its still on process. Have got any idea on the maximum lenght on the processing of a student visa extension? The Home Office cannot answer everytime I asked them when will they release it, they just told me to wait. Thanks!

i want to know that BC College of North West London is a registared college or not?
Some of the comments on this website cause me concern, especially the ones from people who are meant to be MBA students. They cannot write English to a reasonable level and certainly not to an academic level suitable for an MBA. It’s no wonder many people think that these people are bogus students.
By the way, how many times do you have to tell people to check the register? Can’t they read instructions?

My student visa expired on 30th June 2009. In the month of May 2009, I took admission in ***College which was on tier 4 register. They issued me visa letter to accompany my appplication. Somewhere in July 2009, home office or UKBA(whatever), removed this college from the tier 4 register.
The college office used to assure the students not to worry about anything as the college would be back on the tier 4 register. This went on till september end and I got my visa refusal stating that on 24th september 2009 my **** college is not on list of approved sponsors.
When I applied for visa this college was on tier 4 register. What the hell I am supposed to know about what goes on between the college and government?
I was told that I will receive communication from the border agency to change my college within 60 days and re apply for visa. This did not happen.
Now I am in appeal. Please let me know on urgent basis what will happen in such case?
Ther is one more part in my refusal letter, which makes the case more complicated. I had earlier applied for PSW visa through ******* college and was refused PSW visa due to submission of fictitious documents. Because I had extant leave to remain in UK till 30th June 2009, I took admission in **** college to extend student visa.
The refusal letter carries both the remarks.Firstly to use deception with ****** papers and secondly ****college not on list. I never had any funds problems.
Now what happens in such cases at AIT? I need urgent advice.
Ofcourse I will say that I was a genuine student studying at ****** college. Also I am genuine student of **** college At the court room.
But if a student is refused visa after his college is removed during waiting period, then what is the past results of such appeals?
Please give me urgent advice.
i want know that is **** College in London is a regesterd college or not

Hello Dear,
i am currently studying at London based college , which is registered college on home office tier 4 sponsor scheme, however its been so long that i have submitted my application for an extension to stay in united kingdom and haven’t heard anything from them. i have phoned them many times the only answer i get is application still under process. would you kindly be able to tell me why they have kept my application for such a longer period of time yet there isn’t anything wrong with my college and my application.
More over in regards to work and other, i have worked less then 20 hours through out my term time i have provided them proof. i also submitted my sponsorship along with my application stating who is responsible for my expenses during my education. now i am about to finish my education in two months time and intended to go back to my country how long do i have to wait for that ,i am concerned.
if you answer my questions will be appreciated.
best regards

Hello,
Every body, It has come my attention that since 18-01-2010, there are more then 110 colleges been off tier4 list. And Many more might go off the list.some of them are big names in private college sector such as Holborn college,Guildhall college,LSBc, LCI and many more,so check your college before you apply for visa.Regards

If you wish to eradicate the “bad roat !! or the three partners making money and playing with students!!” of this bogus college you speak about( E********* school of business ), your best option I think would be to contact the local Citizen advise bureau for help and direction. You could also get in touch with a solicitor and file a case in the local court. It would also be possible to file a police complaint against the college “trio”.

DEAR MR.KELLY
Good Day.
My daugther is in Wales on a student visa since August 10,2008. Her visa will expire on May 2010.How can she apply for an extension or preferably apply for a work permit.The university gave them options.First, to enroll again on an NVQ course,but they will only be given an extension and second to find an employer that can sponsor them on a work permit. How can that be possible?Can anybody sponsor her or it should be a carehome or a workplace? Please help me.
Thank you for your time and GOD BLESS._

Hi Sir,
I am currently holding student visa and my visa is about to expire on November 30,2010. Based on my school (Anglia Ruskin Unversity) that as soon my visa expires I need to return to my home country and complete the remainder of my studies via distance learning. The end date of my course is on January 2011. Am I allowed to extend my visa? Is there other way than going home…because if I completed my degree, I am able to apply for Post Study Work…can I apply here before my visa expires?
Thank you and do hope that you can advise me with this.
Hello
I just want to ask that i have got visa but my college is suspended from the tier 4 list so now what should i do?
Hi,
I have been contemplating studying in the UK, However with the recent changes wrt colleges being registered sponsor’s to obtain a valid Visa, I am quite confused.
Can one opt for a Diploma program(1 yr) and get a Visa or is a degree course essential?
Also, I wanted to enquire whether the recent list of registered sponsors (dated 25/02/2010) is the subject to change further or if it is the final list?
I intend to start studying asap and would appreciate any reply to help me further my decision.
Regards,

It can take schools and colleges anywhere from 3-6 weeks to several months to be inspected by the UK Border Agency, for a Sponsor Action Plan to be drafted if needed and to be re-included on the Register. You should keep checking the master list of colleges on the tier 4 sponsors register.
Only the college and the UKBA will know for sure. After inspection, 32 days is set aside for correspondence, so it isn`t a quick process.

Hi. I hope you can help me with my problem. I’d been promised back in the Philippines that I can live with my relatives here in Stoke on Trent by my school and that I can have my classes here in Birmingham. But when I arrived, they told me that I have to take my classes in London which is really far from the place I am being accomodated with. When I asked them if I could transfer school, they told me I can, as long as I’m going to pay the whole amount of the tuition fee aside from the initial payment I already made which is £1500 . Should it be really like that? How come that I still have to pay the whole amount when I am not even going to study in their school anymore? Please help me. thanks!

See recent changes to Tier 4: http://www.immigrationmatters.co.uk/post-study-work-visa-to-be-abolished.html
Hi there,
I studied in a college which is in Tier 4 A rating.My visa is going to run out within 2 months. Will there be any problem if I change to a new college which is in Tier 4 B rating.
See article:
Tier 4 student visa changes: Game Set and Match to Universities?
As UK Home Secretary Theresa May announced sweeping plans to slash the number of student visas by up to 80,000 this Month, University Chancellors must be feeling relieved that whilst the government’s measures may not have served up the ‘match’ and delivered all they were lobbying for, they definitely have ‘advantage’ over their privately owned rivals.

Please reply *******ASAP***********
Thanks!!!
Sukumar, I think you should think twice about travelling. If your college is not in the registry, find out what effect it has on your studies. Are you allowed to continue with the existing visa and complete your studies or you need to switch college? First of all, is your visa now valid for you to travel? Consider all these before you travel!
Why is your college no longer on the list? Suspended?
Have you spoken to them?
Charles,
I just want to ask and clarify this that why they kept on saying that they already remove tha senior carers at chef in shortage occupation list..but when i check the updated shortage occupation list dated 16-March 2011 the 2 post still there? immigration makes non-eu confused! Looking forward for your reply. Thanks> Godbless!

Perhaps you should have made enquiries before you paid two years fees? Immigration Matters does not ‘rate’ colleges. You should ‘make sure your college is on the Tier 4 Sponsors Register before renewing your visa’ and decide for yourself.

hi.
can u tell me about the current situation of(LAMS)London Academy of Management Sciences college plz?
please i want to apply for a program in a collage and i want to no the list of register college in uk..
i have regist in west london business college is this college register and approve by the uk goverment
and what about The Sheffield College is it register and approve too
Hey, …
I am about to apply for new entry clearance from my home country, that is Pakistan. Every thing is complete in my application, but there is one thing that i really can’t put my finger on, and that is my ‘previous college’ where I completed a one year IT diploma and studied BSc in Computer sciences for one year only and then I left that college because I thought that it was useless, anyways…
Now I have progressed to the last year of my degree in Accountancy at Holborn college which indeed is a good college and is defiantly list as valid Tier4 sponsor on UKBA list.
My question is that, I believe my previous college which was St. Martin’s Business School in Illford / Barking is now suspended because I can’t find it on the UKBA Tier4 approved colleges register. But because I have got admission in Holborn college on the basses on qualifications from St. Martin’s Business School (because it was a valid college back then), my present college i.e. Holborn college has put my qualification details from St. Martin’s Business School on my CAS latter, therefore off course I would have to send those qualifications as well with my visa application. My question is even though I am no longer a student at St. Martin’s Business School for long time, would this fact that I WAS a student there can create any kind of problem or difference in my visa application?
Your quick response would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks
Hi
Does anyone know if Holborn College is a Private or Public College?

I paid fee to London College of Finance and Accoountancy. I paid the fee and did not apply for the visa. Principal Prof. R.K. Gupta of the said college saked for 7 lacs INR for the grant of my visa. He told me to show fake deposit of my living expenses in the CAS.
I refused to agree for the same and the college refused to agree to this and college refused to refund my money. Pls help me. The principal runs four colleges and is not afraid of the authorities at all.
Pls help.

May i know that Crown International college London also license has cancelled ? I received my rejected visa applications because of college license cancelled.
You seem to have answered your own question.
The UKBA do not appear to have a published list of colleges who have been suspended or removed. Various websites publish dodgy unreliable information on suspended colleges, so take them with a pinch of salt as they are not an official source. If you cannot see them on the Tier 4 sponsors register they are not a Tier 4 sponsoring college.

plse let me know about the situation
cheers
my visa application has been in the home office since october last year. i recieved a letter from the home office last june saying that my documents are incomplete and i have to send it to them so they can make a decision about my visa application. and so i did. and last month our school has been revoked. What am i going to do now? How can i transfer into another school if i dont have my visa yet?
I was registered in london training college but now the college is closed. i got my visa in june. my college course was start from 5th saptemeber but now when i gone on that date college was closedown. Now what should i need to do? How can i get my college fees back. i ask them about fees they told me u can’t get your fees back so i can’t apply in another college because i have to apply with same Procedure with new cas number and new fees, Should i need to apply from another college or what please reply me about this.
If the college has closed find out what has happened to the company, which may still exist or it may have gone bust. In reality you have little chance of getting your money back if the company/college has gone bust.
You will have to find another college. OISC registered Immigration Advisers Bison UK are offering students free consultations. Call them on 0208 905 1822 or drop in for a free consultation.
Hi, Can I asked about my college status in UKBA. My college name “LONDON Essex College”

which UK education provider has this sponsor licence number? How can I find out? P2W0CWXJ9
We should point out that, following changes on 4 July 2011, if a CAS is issued by a private college (highly trusted or not)you will not be allowed to work. There are BSC, MASTERS and MBA courses available where the CAS is issued by a UNIVERSITY but the course is delivered in a private college, which means the fees are lower and you can work.
If you require specific advice, I can refer you to one of our specialist advisers who can help you. I would strongly urge you to take professional advice before moving forward.

Hi
I want my fees refund from R***** London college but they are not refunding my fees, I had taken admission but not studied as i had to travel back in 4 days to my home country I had informed them prior to my session but now they are not refunding my fees.
I guess this college is fraud, i guess this concept of taking admission in colleges abroad is fraud.
I need help and advice at the earliest.

You must take specialist advice from an immigration adviser familiar with visa appeals. The success of your case depends on a number of factors: grounds of appeal, quality of case preparation and bundle, quality of presentation and representation at the hearing and finally which immigration judge is sitting on the bench!
Hi,
I’m planning to come to UK and continue my IADCS(international advanced diploma in computer studies) awarded by NCC. There are 5 colleges in UK that offer this course. They are Birmingham International College, Regal College, London College of Business and Computing, West London School of Management and Technology and London Academy of Management Science.
I want to know if these institutes are under the Tier 4 and if any othem are frauds.
Awaiting your reply.

I got my visa and now i am in uk.i went my college bt it is closed i caled bt no one receive my cal i e_mail bt no response so please inform me about my college status.is it suspend or close.thanks
Sorry to hear that. Many private colleges have closed down following changes to the Tier 4 rules on 4 July 2011. Tier 4 students applying to private colleges, unlike government owned colleges and universities, are not allowed to work or bring dependants. This has destroyed their market and some cannot survive.
Have you been to their premises? Check the UKBA Tier 4 sponsors register. You could also talk to their awarding body and accreditation body ASIC (or BAC) about their status as the UKBA can be difficult to reach.
If they have closed you need to take urgent advice – call Jo on 0208 905 1822 for a free consultation. She can help you find another provider.

Hello,
I have got the student visa (tier 4)with an highly sponsored trusted college in london. But in the visa..i have been asked not to work..but when enquired with the college they said..those students who are admitted in that college are eligible to work..since it is a highly sponsored college.. I did not understand this.. Can any one advice me in this regard or clarify my doubts..
regards
RAM
Only students in government owned colleges can work, regardless of being highly trusted.

HIGHLY TRUSTED PRIVATE COLLEGE STUDENTS DO NOT HAVE THE SAME RIGHT TO WORK AS GOVERNMENT SPONSORED INSTITUTIONS
Tier 4 students are also utterly confused by further set of rule changes. In the last few weeks I have received an increasing number of calls and emails from panic stricken students reporting that their college had ‘closed down’, usually following their suspension from the Tier 4 Sponsors Register or perhaps following changes to the Tier 4 Immigration Rules on 4 July 2011.
Furthermore, students assume that if they are registered with any ‘Highly Trusted’ institution, they will be treated equally. NOT TRUE if the ‘highly trusted’ sponsor is also a private college. A private college is a private college no matter how ‘highly’ they are trusted, and students applying to those colleges will not be allowed to work or sponsor their dependants.
To remind you, goalposts were moved again on 4 July so that students applying for visas or extension after this date are:
•only allowed to work if they are sponsored by government universities or higher education institutions (HEIs) and publicly funded further education colleges to work part-time during term time and full-time during vacations;
•only allowed to sponsor dependants if they are studying at or sponsored by HEIs on postgraduate courses lasting 12 months or longer, and of government-sponsored students on courses lasting longer than 6 months;
•only able to obtain a CAS if the institution has confirmed that their course represent genuine academic progression from any previous courses studied by the student in the UK – see also the 3 year rule and reference requirements which are preventing many students from renewing their visas.
Large numbers of students have also jumped from one private college to another without being able to prove that they have ever finished a course or made satisfactory progress. Progress reports and references have always been a vital requirement and colleges who do not take take these up will find themselves in trouble.
Recent Tier 4 student visa changes do not affect EU migrants such as Bulgarian and Romanian students coming to the UK to study and work on a Yellow Card. They need to find a college on the ‘pre-tier 4′ DIUS register and can still work full time when taking a vocational work based course, such as an NVQ or QCF in health and social care.For free immigration news updates, please visit http://www.immigrationmatters.co.uk or email: info@immigrationmatters.co.uk
