Hi,

May I politely request that a new forum be created for the Doctorate Extension Scheme. Most question relating to the DES are subsumed within other visa category questions and finding relevant answers to DES questions can be a little 'herculean' sometimes.

Cheers

Hi I will appreciate some advice on this issue. I am an international PhD student working part time. I received my payslip recently and realized the total number of hours worked exceeded 20 hours. Upon closer investigation, I realized I was paid for the training sessions I attended. Since I did not ...

what occupation is your husband involved in?

I think that explains why it is important to seek legal advice..as tiny bits of errors here and there could nullify or render your application invalid. Having a COS is just part of the triangle of requirements. These days UKVI have focused on those tiny bits that suggests if the application is genui...

I am afraid the answer to your question is NO Professional courses are not classified as academic qualifications even if they are at the same level of qualification. e.g ACCA and master's. The guidance is clear on that. So you may have to leave the country and apply as the COS issued will become an ...

By the way, what is your occupation in view of the fact that several firms are scrabbling for your you? That should be a very highly demanded skilled job. #justasking

PWC and other top tier consulting firms seem to construct a ceiling when it comes to recruiting or hiring experienced professionals who are non-EU nationals. They prefer to recruit/poach candidates from companies on the same rank or has similar top notch profile like itself ..ie big four firm poachi...

Hi guys, I am an ACCA chartered accountant with experience and currently on tier 4 visa. How do I navigate the list of sponsors to get a firm that will sponsor me? Has anyone had luck on this previously? There are many jobs requiring my type of skill but I am restricted by the refusal of most firms ...

Thank you so much guys.

Cheers

Hi Guys, Please I will appreciate if any one can provide any useful information about the job market in Ireland for Non-EU migrants. I know there are several websites with information about jobs but I will prefer someone who is either based in Ireland or knows a lot about opportunities in Ireland to...

Reading your last comments makes me think you are up to some dodgy scheme up your sleeves.

UKVI knows that you are trying to complete the 10 years period in order to get permanent residency so they are delaying ur application. If I were you, I will relax and get ready for any imminent interview. Stopping worrying. It is the prerogative of UKIV to decide. You are not in an immigration dete...

Hi LillyMS,

Did you succeed with your application using the CAS issued by your preferred university?
I am in a similar situation. What is the latest status on the issue?
Thank you

When is your PSW visa expiring?

Unfortunately, the immigration office of the school is asking me to do out of country application

Hi Guys.. I need advice seriously. My current Psw ends on 29th August but my PhD programme starts on 29 Sept 2014. Can I make an in country application?

Cheers

Are you applying from outside the UK or inside the UK?

Congrats for receiving your tier 1 entrepreneur visa. Please I will urge you to get a native speaker of English to write the content of your website. The home page is filled with many grammatical errors which could be a put off for many visitors to your site. It could also be a pointer to the qualit...

Name and shame the University. I know a case though not similar. The university promoted a course that was not accredited on their website. The uni provided vague information on their website which deceived students. The lady engaged a lawyer who wrote to the school several times. The uni was bullis...

Talkhome. I read your post above. I think eye brows are raised particularly on applications for tier 4 applicants who HAVE ALREADY SPENT more than 4 years on tier 1 visa. Pls could you provide the types of courses your friends studied and intended to study, for which their visa applications were ref...

Thanks Brute Force,
I have my CAS already but we know that the issuance of CAS by a uni does not guarantee that I will be given a visa by the homeOffice as both processes are different and independent.

Hi Guys,
I want to pursue another Masters. I know it is a risky move as per the Tier 4 Guidance about course progression. But I hold an MBA and would want to study MSc Business Analytics. I did no research or project or thesis in my MBA but the MSc program provides that opportunity.
Any advice?

There is no need to reiterate what we already know as the main reasons behind the immigration reforms. Repeating it on this thread could prompt the moderators to lock or close the thread and prevent anyone from making a contribution to it. The current Govt has made it simple and clear. WE WANT TO RE...

I sympathize with you on your situation. Well. This is not the time to apportion blame. But I must say that you and your wife got it all wrong. The practice of the old UKBA requesting institutions that admit intl students to monitor student attendance has been in place for close to 4 years now. Why ...
