I am in a similar position to you but on a totally different course.
My leave to remain expires on 12 July 2010. My new course is due start on 28 July 2010.
I have already made a same day appointment to extend my leave to remain and this has been scheduled for the second week of May 2010.
So in effect, I am renewing my visa 2-3 months before my leave to remain expires.
As long as your new course is within one month of your current leave to remain - you should be fine. And, YES - apply early, you have nothing to lose.
Good luck with everything inc. your studies and hope you do well!
If your course starts after 27 september, then you would have to apply from your home country. If your course starts within 27th september, then you should apply for your student visa before the 28th of july, ideally sometime in june.saaj79 wrote:Hello mates im facing same problem here,
im here in uk as a student (not in tier 4) since 2006 now it will be my first extention,due in 28 july,2010.
my last course was finish in jan and after that i couldnt get admission at any place.
now my question is that if i get admission in university what will be happen about these two problems?.
there will be a study gap of 6 months from jan 2010 to july 2010
and
other problem is course is starting in september and leave to remain in th uk is going to expire in 28 july ?
as im not a tier 4 student so what do you think of 28 days rule will still apply in my application?
please give me refrence if you have.

Hi Searoze,searoze wrote:Hi
1st of all, I appreciate all of you who help others for nothing. Bless all of you
I have came across a problem that I want to discuss here and neend some expert advice.
I am already in UK as a Tier 4 student, my visa is due to expire on 31st July
I have done a post graduate diploma, that was awarded to me on 28th Jan 2010, Since then am in process to get admission in MSc (Top up Dissertation). I applied in several Universities but unfortunatly, I couldnt get admission any where. So am not studying any where till now. The earliest course that is available to me is going to start in the last week of July 2010 that is one week prior to my esxisting leave to remain expires.
The Tier 4 guidence notes say:
72. If a student is already in the United Kingdom and his/her existing permission to stay runs out more than one month before the start-date of his/her proposed next course of study, he/she will be expected to return overseas and apply from outside the United Kingdom. If the applicant applies from inside the United Kingdom, his/her application will be refused. A month will be considered a calendar month (for example, if an applicant’s leave expires on 14 January his/her new course must start no later than 13 February).
73. We suggest that if a student’s course has ended and he/she is applying from inside the United Kingdom to extend his/her stay, he/she should apply in the last three months of his/her permission to stay if possible. This is because as soon as we give permission to stay (if the application is approved), the student’s new Tier 4 sponsor becomes responsible for them.
My question is, is it allright to apply any time before my existing leave expires or do I need to leave the country and apply again from home country ?
Any advice will be highly appreciated
Best regards
