I believe everybody have right to their opinion anyway but to correct the impresion and misconception that i am not a genuine student here, I actually did my PG studies here in uk and currently writting my ACCA with few papers left.
I finished the PGD in April 08. The reality is when i decided to go for it, PSW was not even available to colleges then but the the rules allowed within 12months cover. The intention was to use it for for futher application outside uk if ACCA slows me down. More importantly, it was a matter of sceptism as i did not see any value investing so much in universities here if the job/stay is not certaint(they don't even care about yr Masters/degree).
Holistically, HO finds it very difficult now to dinstinguish genuine students and i have seen unreal students getting it while real ones been rejected. The reason I wrote that to correct the situation the approach being used is not fair and HO needs to start afresh with the schls they licenced not catch-up students in a web!.
Vinata, What even if these students were taking advantage of the system? was is not the HO that created it. Sorry if u think bcos u had invested so much in the system, it is now causing you pains to attack unjustifdly. People migrate outside thier contries for different reasons. Yourself would not be able to fund your MBA etc here except you had violated the rules sometimes or your family are rich. so tell me, how many ppl are in your category? I am still insisting that the problem is not with the students and they should be issued their visas bcos its affecting lots of innocent parties. Schols that are violating the HO compliances should be closed or procecuted in the way students would be warned!
Personaly, i have got nothg to loose leaving this country. The problem is their delay is grieving me alot. within all these mess, I was not able to see my father when he got sick, died and yet to see his grave.
I believe 100s of people are in similar situation. why does it takes 9months to take decision. No country would do that to foreigners and you must be blind to see that there is more to this than that. I am not desperate to be uk a citizen, I have a better life moving on and if its your prayer / wish that some ppl suffer as a result of this I bet you'l be hit most
