Was it a degree or above you studied for?
Who was the degree awarding body?
Is that body a UK body? If not you will not get PSW in any case.
Do you who why the college is off the register?

Turn around time for PSW is variable, two weeks for some, two months for others.

I think you might have a problem with your award. If the college was closed down that suggests the awards might be considered suspect. If the award was given by an outside body other than the college you should be ok. If the award was given by the college in its own right I am inclined to think it may not be accepted.

If you get a refusal the only route is to appeal, not sure how sucessful that will be given the status of the college.

I am getting a fair number of PM's from people on what to do about their outstanding PSW applications based on qualifications received from Cambridge College of Learning.

Until such time you receive an immigration decision then you are all in no man's land. Can't go forward but can't go back. Not a good place to be BUT there is some things your in between status allows you to do. You can carry on working full time as your current status is that of a student even if your student visa has expired. This is only if you applied for PSW while your student visa was still valid.

Why can you work full time? The law allows you to continue on your visa even if it expires during the ongoing period while the new application is decided. As you are out of term time you can work full time.

The problem will be the fact that employers will not be inclined to carry on with your employment without a valid visa.

You guys just need to hope that the HO can somehow work with school authorities to identify the GENUINE students and grant you your visa. I wish you all the best guys. Good luck.

My guess is CCL "graduates" are all going to be refused on mass.

For the resulting appeals to be successful it will require the "student" to prove their attendance other than with CCL paperwork, provide their examination results, evidence of taking the exams and have a letter of verification from the awarding body. I think you will find the awarding body is going to withdraw their support as there is a fair chance the awarding body is at as much fault as CCL. So in other words no chance of success at appeal.

CCL "students" are not going to be granted anything in the way of a visa for any reason as simply put the whole college was bogus and nothing more than a scam.
The last college to go down the pan in the same way was Lloyds and all 600(?) students had their leave curtailed on mass. There was a mass appeal which they lost and now there are still a fair few students in the country illegally.

Bye bye CCL and all those that did not sail in her. I hope the worthless bits of paper the "students" were awarded are worth the Â£1000's paid for them.

For those on the forum going on about not getting a visa, I think it is a safe bet you will get refused and will have to put up a huge fight to get your visa and that is if you can prove you were a genuine student. If the awarding body steps out of the frame then no matter what your award is worthless and it is time to go home. The greed and lack of application of a few will impact on those that did the work and gained a real qualification.

I certainly would not be joining hands with the "students" who obviously never attended as this puts you in with the scam. If you were a genuine student stick to those you know were there with you. The numbers in this scam are huge, there are hundreds and hundreds of fake qualifications given out, it is not known if there were any real ones so the odds are against anyone who claim to be a genuine student.

At least when they kick out the fake students this time they will get a 10 year ban.

i think this time its gonna be worst for both genujine and fake becuase this college has been caught in a big scam ad its all benn in bbc as well.well we cant change what all happend butatleast we can hope for the best.i have been reading at other forums thar one of the guy who applied from LCMIT got refused and 10 year ban from uk.so i think the best thing is to switch over to someother category or wateva suits you .i think its time to packup for me and look ahead in your life as UK is not the end of the world so guys dont be disappointed you got whole world n front of you.rather then getting stressed better to think for alternatives.

Out of interest who was the awarding body for CCL PGD's?

danish1981 · Post by **danish1981** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 12:55 pm

CCL is awarding body itself for all the level-7 post graduate diplomas

Post by **Frontier Mole** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 8:53 pm

Well that is the problem solved. If the college was the awarding body then there is not a hope for anyone using the award certificate for any extention of stay in the UK.

Genuine student or not the award certificate is not worth the paper it is printed on. How can anyone provide evidence that can be relied on from CCL to back up their genuine student claim when they are the fraudsters?

Without evidence from an alternative reliable source it will not matter if you were genuine or not. It has to be assumed that all certificates are false until the applicant can prove otherwise. Even if they can prove they attended, took exams and handed in course work the certificate is totally discredited.

Even on appeal there is no way the courts would entertain the certificate as having any meaning based on these circumstances.

I wonder how many hundreds of students this scam covers.

Packup? Are you leaving the country after your visa/PSW got rejected? I don't think it's end of the world for someone who spent couple of years here in the UK but I know many people who have spent more than 7 years in this country and their PR was just few years away, NO IT IS END OF THE WORLD..... Sad state of affairs
