For the record and the benefit of others who may have a similar situation, my first response was to a question from a Tier 4 migrant whose leave expires in January. His course has already finished. He wanted to know if he could travel back to the USA but then return to UK before January, with his unexpired, but very short-dated T4 visa, even though the purpose of re-entry was not to continue as a T4 migrant.
My second response was based on the information he gave about the reason for his return (and potentially what he would say on arrival seeking entry clearance as a visitor). His intention was to return to continue living with his fiancee to look for a work opportunities in the UK. Something completely incompatible with a visit entry clearance.
