I don't get this, usually u get a student visa valid till the end of the course, plus about three months for exams, grads etc.Phil_C wrote:Are you sure? I've heard to the contrary.
It's not worth getting an extension for 14 days in order to sit an exam. To get the extension costs around £1500 including booking a new course and extension fees.
Why study for a year not to be able to take your exams?

Surely, you don't need to book a new course? The BIA is clamping down severely on overstayers.Phil_C wrote:Are you sure? I've heard to the contrary.

Phil_C, you appear to be under the misapprehension that overstaying on a student visa is a minor matter and will be disregarded if you produce letters from the college, etc.Phil_C wrote:Thank you for your assistance Victoria.
In theory does this mean if my passport is not endorsed as an overstayer when leaving the UK it is fine to apply for future visas? I'm guessing there is a chance it will not be endorsed as an overstayer, particulary with a letter from the college explaining exam dates.
Phil
Who told you that? A new course for a new visa?Phil_C wrote:Thanks Victoria, that is for a full extension though. A new course would have to be paid for etc. Additionally 3 extensions have already been granted over the last 4 years. It's unlikely that another will unless it is at degree level.
So what happens if overstaying by 2 weeks to do this exam?
Phil
Retarded? I think if you believe you have to pay for a new course to get an extension, that makes you retarded.Phil_C wrote:Seriously if a poster is going to give a retarded response like SYH please keep your comments to yourself, they are not useful.
It will be under 28 days so I may leave it to the discreation of the officer, like everything it's a risk. £300 is a lot to spend for an extension for only 14 days but I will think about it.
Thank you all for your help.

Overstaying is an offence, contrary to s.24(1)(b)(i) of the Immigration Act 1971. Section 24(1A) of the 1971 Act, which was inserted by s.6(1) of the Immigration Act 1988, provides that a person commits the offence on the day when he or she first knows that leave to enter or remain has expired, and continues to commit it until such time as his or her position is regularised, for example through a further grant of leave.

It seems you want us to give you absolution for overstaying because you deem it to be miniscule so just stop being fussy and annoyed because we don't agree with you and find you out of order for considering it.
