Well, It depends on your financial condition to support the education in UK.adnanmanzoor wrote:This is to all seniors and gurus who are already in uk
I am planning to apply next week and I believe i will score 100 points because of my income. however, considering the costs and benefits of relocating to UK, i m really confused.. I require honest suggestions from those who are already in uk. My issues are :
1) I am currently doing MS in Economics which will be completed in december 2011. I am applying for tier 1 now because i am about to reach 30 in feb next year so if do not apply now i will lose points on age. my issue is even if get my visa and discontnue my degree, will it be worthwhile? I have an offer from a university and during my stay in uk i can complete Msc in Economics as a part time student. how good this option is? i mean get the visa, find a good job in uk, complete some international certifications in finance and continue to study at a university also? OR
2) I do not apply now, complete my MS and than apply for a Mphil or PHD at any good university in UK and come on student visa after few years.
What is the best option? please help me clarify this confusion
You need to clarify what you want to do in the first place i.e. is the intention to do a higher degree from UK (on student VISA) and go back? Enter the job market in UK and or settle down in UK. Student VISA does not lead to settlement.adnanmanzoor wrote:This is to all seniors and gurus who are already in uk

I think you will have limited freedom to do ur study with T1 General. You cant pursue your full time degree with T1 General, becos it is a work VISA and not a study VISA.topman wrote:if you are determined to come to uk either now or later, i would say, come now with tier-1 general. i been in student visa in few countries. trust me student visa is one of the worst visas that restricts so much on doing things. so if you have option for tier 1 general, just apply and come. with tier 1 general you can do whatever u want including study and finish your ms. good luck.

Right.... And If this letter is official, then this should answer all.sushdmehta wrote:Reading this will help.indianinworld wrote:You cant pursue your full time degree with T1 General, becos it is a work VISA and not a study VISA.

Based on ur skills and confidence level, Please take ur own call. After all it is ur VISA and you paid for it. Everybody is unique and everybody have their own views and so they provide inputs.adnanmanzoor wrote:What I am looking for is whether considering the current situation of UK's economy and changing rules every now and then, is it a better bet to come to uk considering my situation..
