hi, can you describe a little bit about your case?? and wht the refused resason?? why you can reconsideration, is you apply in home country or inside UK??FATNIK wrote:hi, actually i have just sent out the application again, cos it was refused last time, i still waiting for the result coming back, and i'm not sure if it wins this time, does it really like to be taht long (4 weeks)?
thank you for your reply ...it is very useful...so, if i am going home to send out the apply IGS second year visa => PSW One year....before DEC2008...it will be still ok .yah??Frontier Mole wrote:The simple answer is no to PSW. The transitional rules allow up to two years IGS + PSW from the date of your last acceptable qualification. If you qualified in Dec 2006 then you would only have up to Dec 2008 in any event.
By the time your Tier 1 goes through the appeal process it will be after Dec 2008.
Why was your Tier 1 refused?
OH no....Frontier Mole wrote:Sorry I seem to have given you the wrong idea.
The maximum time you can have is a TOTAL of 2 years by any combination of IGS + PSW. It is not 1 year of IGS + 2 years PSW.
Going home and applying will not get you anywhere other than another refusal. If you want to stay on in the UK you are going to have to find another way. PSW will not resolve your problem.
thx man...i had read it before ....Frontier Mole wrote:http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... idance.pdf
Go to Para 85 & 86 of the notes - that is where it states the transitional arrangements.
Two years combined as I said - sorry!
Frontier Mole wrote:The hidden part is the bit about two years from the date the qualification is gained. I note your IGS ran for a year from June 2007 to June 2008 but your qualification was gained in December 2006. What happened to the six months in between? Did your student visa cover you up to June 2007?
PSW does not allow the clock to tick on beyond the date of gaining the qualification. Hence the two years point is set from the qualification date. This ensures that no one can benefit from the additional time on the student visa after the qualification is gained. It makes it a level playing field for all those that want to stay on in the UK. You get two years from the date of qualification and nothing more.
IGS may well have allowed the clock to tick on, so you could have been in the UK for far longer than a total of say two years. I think this is partly the trap you are now in. Even if the PSW was granted I do not believe you would get the extention beyond the 2 year point of your qualification in Dec 2006.
Best to await the outcome of the appeal, I believe it will fail but in the meantime you can still work and plan what you want to do.
