You should be ok. At that time, an application rejected for non-payment was not automatically declared invalid and a subsequent application within 28 days was considered a continuation of the first application. Can't remember where the rules are, but before 2007 is ok. There should be links on some ...

You can vary your original application to psw by filling a certain form. Not sure which, but other people might advise on this...

If your letter says award date of 1 March 2012, you should be OK.

You can apply and the new visa if granted will supersede the preceding visa. Therefore you will now come under the conditions of your Tier 4 visa, and your PSW will effectively be no more.

Being awarded a degree means that firstly you have passed the course and secondly the examination board has met and approved the award of said degree to you . A degree is essentially an abstract award. It can be confirmed by a letter from the institution or a degree certificate. Therefore either a l...

The above statement is so wrong on many levels. At least put some punctuation so we can understand wether you are asking a question or making a statement. As it is you have just made noise and said nothing coherent.

I also think they are prioritising all olympics visa at the moment so there will be less staff to process the other categories.

I think its to be expected that psw applications are taking longer. Probably because the category is closing so a lot of people are applying, and they will therefore take longer to process. There is not really anything you can do but wait.

Have you been awarded a degree? Passing the dessertation is not the same as being awarded the qualification. I would confirm this with your university before taking steps that cannot be reversed.

thanks for the link but again, its not relevant to this apart from that he cant switch his visa category, well that has expired a long time ago and as for credibility its not by word its by proof so not sure if anyone can answer helpfully In the link there is information on the eligibility requirem...

What is your own immigration status in the UK?

It will contain information you have given the home office. Therefore for addresses, it will contain the addresses you used in all communications you have had with the home office. Usually its in the form of photocopies or originals of your application forms or letters. If you moved address twice be...

Its not advisable to send documents for extension if you do not need to. Usually they do not need documents for an extension if you sent them before, therefore it is better to just tick the box saying you sent them in first application. The more documents you send, the longer the application will ta...

Morning everyone, I am currently a student being studying for almost 9.5 years. I came in England on the 16 June 2002 as a visitor and from December 2002, I changed my visa in to a student visa. I was refused due to financial problems for the first time in 2006 and went to court after the court hea...

I am about to complete the form, and I got confused - do I have to complete the section 11. My case is fairly simple 9 years student and 1 year PSW.

Write a cover letter and explain things to the home office. Remember that they are not just going to take your word for what you say, therefore prepare some documents which are verifyable to support your case. For example on the strikes, it will be useful to have some news articles about them. Conta...

Just state the dates yourself. The UKBA usually gives people the benefit of the doubtl

You are eligible for ilr in April 2012. The gap might be an issue since it is more than 10 days. I advise you to seek legal help on how to represent this to the home office and compeling reasons why the application was late. On the other hand you could wait until 6 May 2013 and you wont have any iss...

Probably get your MP involved. This usually expedites things. A consultation with a solicitor would also give you options and possible scenarios.

Not likely. You will be able to apply for ilr before 2016 when they start the 35k rule. Also switching from work permit to tier 2 is treated in a special way.

Just send application form with photos and passport/s. That's All you need if your case is straight forward.
