LIMIT ON TIER 1 VISA

[FRISKYFRE]

I have a tier 4 student visa and My graduation is on the 28th of Jan 2011, and my student visa expires Jan 31st 2010, I intended to apply for post study work visa, but I got a job in my country,now I have 2 questions:

1..Are there any limits to the post study work visa, (i.e) can I apply for it even when I know I might not use it because I am going back to my country,if I apply for it just incase I want to visit and I don't use it to work or stay in the uk, will I have problems when travelling to the uk on holidays with the visa,maybe for visit or something like that,

2..I intend to travel for christmas this year and I might be asked to go back when coming back to Uk for my graduation because my student visa expires soon, in a situation like this, what are my best options. help please as my visa is gradually running out.
thank you

You may.

if I apply for it just incase I want to visit and I don't use it to work or stay in the uk, will I have problems when travelling to the uk on holidays with the visa,maybe for visit or something like that,

If practice of "visiting" UK on Tier 1 (PSW) catches the eye of an immigration officer at port of entry, you may be denied entry under 321A(1). PBS is for allow visa national to live and work in the UK. For visiting the UK, there's visitor visa.

I intend to travel for christmas this year and I might be asked to go back when coming back to Uk for my graduation because my student visa expires soon, in a situation like this, what are my best options. help please as my visa is gradually running out.

Apply for visitor visa before (re)entering UK (to attend graduation). Return to home country before expiry of visit visa and apply for PSW from there (if you wish to).

Proof of Job offer letter or Job in your home country and proof of your Graduation degree Ceremony.

You will easily get visit visa

IMHO, if you fulfil the eligibility criteria and can provide documentary evidence as required there is no reason why you should not be granted a visa.
