Being "low risk" just means a Tier 4 applicant does not need to include evidence of money or qualifications in their application. It's not about exceptions to the normal immigration rules. See Appendix H of the imnmigration Rules.Bammie wrote:We are from Australia, own property here, have cash in bank accounts to support ourselves for the year plus we have 4 other children (all over 18 years) remaining in Australia so I would consider us low risk??
No. If your son gets a place at an independent fee-paying school with a Tier 4 (Child) license he can apply for a Tier 4 Child visitor visa in his own right, and your husband can apply as the parent of a Tier 4 Child. There is information about both those routes at gov.uk > Visas and immigrationBammie wrote:Will my husband of 15 years plus young son (who would need to go to school) be granted T4 dependent visas or not?
No, but there is separate provision for students at any level who are government sponsored. See https://www.ukcisa.org.uk/Information-- ... DependantsBammie wrote:Are there exceptions to the Level 7 rule or not??
They have a scholarship from the UK government or their home government.Bammie wrote:What does "government sponsored" mean ???
The rules on who can bring dependants are not discretionary, so all you can do about it is let off steam. Once you have done that, why not write to the Vice-Chancellor of the university explaining why you will not be attending the course. They can't change things for you, but they can lobby the government about future changes to the UK law.Bammie wrote:Trying not to whine but getting frustrated with managing this whole process to a successful outcome!

The Australian side has suggested some relaxation of rules on businesses transferring staff post-Brexit, but this nothing to do with any other kind of immigration, and certainly not study.

Seems kind of crazy that we are lumped in the same basket as every other country that immigration has constant problems with. The lack of "welcome" is pretty disappointing.
It's all part of the UKVI's commitment to attract the brightest and best international students.sah10406 wrote:It is exactly the same for anyone of any nationality.
