Need Advice on Changing sponsor

Post by zayf » Mon Oct 26, 2009 12:36 pm

Hi,

I need urgent help. I have got a tier 4 student visa and admission in York University. Problem is that my course has already started and i have just come to uk and living a bit far from the university, I havent got accomodation and am not much familiar with environment yet. I was just wondering can i request to delay my Session to January 2010 or sept 2010 for that matter. or can i actually completely Change my University(sponsor).

Today is the last day specified by university to report and i dont think that i can.

If i change my University do i have to go back home and re-apply for visa ?

Please guide me.

Thanks in advance.

Exactly it says on page 45 that you only have to report to us, it doesnt say you have to go back and then re-apply as i have already got visa till october 2010

You didn't read this bit though:
What happens if a student’s course ends early?
We will limit the student’s permission to stay to 60 days if his/her course ends earlier than 264. expected. This may be, for example, if the student’s Tier 4 sponsor cancels his/her place on the course, or if the student finishes the course early.
If a student hasless than six months left of his/her permission to stay, we will not limit his/265. her permission and the student can stay until his/her permission runs out.
I do not think you can stay in the UK and wait until next autumn to start a course.

According to the new rules, your university will shortly report that you have not started your course.
