Will it be possible to switch from PSW to Student visa

[xleft]

Ok, here is my question:

If the government makes the law that you have to apply for new student visa outside the country, will it be possible for current Post-Study Work visa holders to apply for student visa (university degree) still inside the country?

(to moderators - sorry for previous misunderstanding)

Yes , I think we have to go back to home country to apply for PSW after your studies subjected to PSW is in place till then , Home office aim is clear they want to cut extension and this thing cant be challenged in court I believe but nobody knows for sure unless official statement

Not needed? How would you know? You post not just for your benefit, but for the benefit of those that follow, whose circumstances are similar.

Not happy you have zapped your posts.

This is becoming a trend, where members delete their posts once they have received the answers they need.

1. Its all down to the consultation untill January.
2. I am sure that HO will take sometime to implement the new changes.
3. They will have to make sure that people who already have CAS numbers issued and have applied does not have any problem with it.
4. The people who are stuyding at degree level 6 or above and got the cas on the basis of that, does not need the english language requirements.

Overall these proposed changes are wast of time and hassle for students.

Thank you. I also think so. Also, they said they want to cut the consultation short (8 weeks instead of 12) in order to implement new rules before new academic year. However, I think it would be nearly impossible to announce, for example, that all new students must now apply overseas. And universities are quite unhappy about it as well. I think what they can do for new academic year are more simple changes but more dramatic changes will require time to adjust and transitional arrangements must be provided.
Regarding specifically switching from PSW to Student visa inside the country, I think they can't prohibit it because when visa was issued there were rules in place. So I have already got PSW with the conditions that I can switch to other categories including student visa inside the country. But I'm not solicitor, so I was hoping maybe someone professional could comment specifically on this.
