can u give me more info on these rumors, and where you heard them? thanks buddyarsenal49 wrote:keep your eyes glued on UKBA announcements in coming weeks/months. Its likely to be abolished in April 2011, atleast for new students.
Rumour has it, they will have some transitional arrangement in place for current/old students( who graduated not so long ago) so you might be able to take advantage.
When are you planning to apply for psw anyway
regards
(u know my situation)thanks.arsenal49 wrote:all the best. i really hope you are successful with your app.jlewisunh wrote:well I am applying in March so as long as there are no changes before March 16th...I think I should be ok.
Another thing is this: student visas are good for one year plus four months. This is generally september start date and september finish date in the UK, is it not? If ppl finish in September, their visas are good until the last day of January. if the ukba announces transitional arrangements for 'recent graduates', in theory, these graduates would ONLY be those who have left the uk and returned home. i cant find any situation where a student would have graduated or be in the 4 months extension provided by the visa. say someone graduated in a random month like january or february. january would only be resit (not a lot of students) and no one graduates in february. so there really wouldnt be any 'recent grads' currently in the uk, in march or april, who are not already working and just hanging out, unless they decided to stay illegally past their visa expiration date. the vast majority of students who have recently finished a course or graduated would be september (visas expire in jan in this case) may (after april, so who cares). even if the ukba made an announcement as early as february...no one, or not many ppl have graduated in the preceding 4 months. know what im saying? so i think any transitional arrangements for recent graduates would have to be for those out of country, by definition. extending the possibility of psw to in-country graduates seems to be unlikely since these grads dont exist!arsenal49 wrote:i strongly repeat that its just a rumour...
but this is what i was told by my friend who is studying in one of the leading universities and was told the same thing by the uni's international office.
but take it with a pinch of salt....
lots of rumours will start flying as we get closer to the april 2011
very plausible observation but what you failed to notice is that , all students in last few years or so were given visa when psw option was still available to them. So technically speaking they might argue why are we (out-of-country students who still satisfy psw requirement of degree award in less than a year) being left out from transitional arrangement.jlewisunh wrote:Another thing is this: student visas are good for one year plus four months.

you seem to put a hole in my theory! when did your course begin? how did you get an expiration date of march?FARAHwaqas wrote:Thanks Arsenal for ur valuable advice....my T4 visa is expiring in march and i will got my funds maintained for 3 months in the second week of April....i am afraid that they might not close psw for out of the country students..from which university ur friend has got this piece of information? because my university advisor is not telling me anything ,,she is rather saying me to check the ukb website for any updates...
im afraid im not at the liberty to disclose it. lets just say the uni is in top 10 a/c to Times ranking!FARAHwaqas wrote:from which university ur friend has got this piece of information?
sorry man, i don't get what you're saying. why, please explain, would they (the HO) would argue to leave out of country applicants out of trans arrang?arsenal49 wrote:very plausible observation but what you failed to notice is that , all students in last few years or so were given visa when psw option was still available to them.

if your master's degree course ended sep 2011 you should have an expiration date of january, not march.FARAHwaqas wrote:Jelwisunah, my course began in september 2009 and finished in september 2010, Certificate of completion of course was awarded in October 2010.
it was from Jan 2010-28 Feb 2011...before this visa i got an year visa for PGD ....after compliting my PGD i got admission in university for masters course Sep 2010-Sep 2011.
oh i see. i agree with you and only questioned your post because you said i had a plausible observation 'but failed to notice'...so i thought you were trying to counter my argumentarsenal49 wrote:@jlewisunh
i am just saying that its not easy/straight forward for ukba to ban out-of-country applicants, if they choose to introduce psw Transitional Arrangement.
those students will have a good legal case ,if they are ignored by UKBA. thats what i think
maybe i didnt explain it properly earlier.. was in a bit of hurry
oh. huh, well anyway you're in the minority.FARAHwaqas wrote:as it is saying in Biometric Residence Permit,its valid from january 2010- end of Feb 2011
