"I think people who are saying that studying on HSMP is ILLEGAL are saying just because of their own interpretation and don't have any real-clause or evidence to substantiate their opinion. " Agreed...I've been through the legislation and can't find anything that says a person cannot study...
"I think if you work on weekend or in free time and next time if you are asked what you do in UK and you say that you are working, it won't be a lie." That's what I'm thinking as well. My only worry is that when I enter the country they have a note on the system next to my name that says t...
Smit - thanks for the reply. I've read some of the legislation about the HSMP...it just seems to say that a person has to be "economically active". It doesn't expressly forbid studying. Would it be stretching the law too much for the following: - I start a consulting business incorporated ...
