Hi Sir,
I applied student visa tier 4 extension in january 2010 ,but was refused beause of not having 7200 pouns in my accoount and was not giving 10 points.I am confused why i was refused beause i have been in uk for 5 years on student visa.i thought paying 1st year fee and showing maintence funds for 2 months i.e 1600 pounds were enough to get extension.i have been giving a right of appeal against the descion.the last date for appeal is 27/04/2010 .Is there any chaance of wining the apeal on the mention grounds.my solicitors says they have applied the the wrong rule for you and u and is very hopeful to win the case .pleasgive me some advise on this …
your help will be much appreciated .

Hi,
I’m generally trying to help my friend. She got Student visa for 2 years issued in November 2008, with later modifications due to some address change (around march-april 2009). She came to UK in June 2009 and started her NVQ. She started workplacement on 1st of July, while school assessor should arrive shortly after that. School didnt give sign of life till August 2009, shortly after first call to set appointment school called again that they are out of funds and sugested transfer to new school. Her workplacement manager called other College and representative came shortly after and they signed agreement.
Its been in early September 2009. Few days ago we found out about all this Tier4 system and realised that her new school is not on list.
If she apply for new school which is on list does she need to make new application for tier4 visa or can continue on her existing visa (which was issued for 2years).
Thanks for any additional sugestions.

I was given VISA in March 2008 for my education in UK for one year. I continued studying with the same college for the progression second year but By the time I needed to renew my VISA, my college was in accreditation process. They issued me an explanatory letter with the VISA letter without the license. My VISA was recently refused due to school is still not in the registry. I have now 10 days to appeal and my college has applied to the license after the successful accreditation. They expect to have the license within 4-6 weeks. I have now completed almost 6 months of studies. Can I appeal under this ground?

The new maintenance rules on Tier 4 are very clear. See: http://www.immigrationmatters.co.uk/changes-to-immigration-rules-announced-by-uk-border-agency.html or check the UK Border website student section.

Dear Sir
Iam well aware about the recent changes in immigration rules for student. But the rules are not very clear about the maintenance fund. I mean an international student needs to have the funds for his studies in his bank account or his sponsor’s bank account(i.e uncle, father,mother etc).
Thanks very much

We do not have full details of your case. However, you will need to extend your student visa (under tier 4) and this should be possible to do whilst in the UK. If you are not sure what to do, you should seek advice from a registered (OISC) immigration adviser before completing forms.

I would like to appeal to the UK government to retain the 35-40 working hours for NVQ students in the social and healthcare sector especially those who are already in the UK.One of the reason why they were accepting these students before because there was chronic shortage in the care sector.How can they sustain their cost of living if they are allowed to work 20 hours only.Is this not inhuman.They spend so much to travel to UK .The new immigration rule is indirectly sending these students back home.
