You really don't need any link apart from the link provided.

I trust you on this and will wait for the changes.

I'm ready to stand with you guy's as I think its unfair but TBH, I'm not affected by these changes, thank god for that

Remember certain private colleges like kaplan n lsbf do degree courses,like acca...All colleges(private) rely on foreign students...If those colleges have to get hts n their students cant work,hw wud they survive? they wud hv to do smthing..Thnk abt the uk employers, the college n students...all of them can protest....

I think the UKBA doesn't care about those colleges... if they don't get students then they will be out of business and thats what UKBA wants because none of those colleges provide UK standard education. Those colleges create three way problems (1) bad impression of UK degrees all over the World (2) most (not all) of their students are somehow in breach of immigration rules (3) most of those colleges are cheating with the real students those come to the UK with dream of a valuable degree.

Sorry guys.. please don't take it personally, this is what those colleges are giving to this country.

U sure? Cos my visa finishes at 31 august..n hw can i apply in may...its weird..all i know u need to apply 23 days before..where did u read that? n if i do apply,wudnt the caseworker say i fall under the new rules? reply pls..thx

I am sure, You can apply as early as 3 months, where you read 23 days thing ? take some expert advise, accumulate your bank statement, and apply in may or June.

Best of luck with your studies.

Its too early to find a solicitor and i got all my papers...and bank statement..cheers

@Sindhie

You are eligible to apply within/upto 3 months before your current visa is due to expire.

Pls check the following links:

Students applying from inside the UK

87. We suggest that if a student’s course has ended and he/she is applying from inside the UK 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.

Please see the new Tier 4 policy guidance paragraph 87 on page 14.

This also implies for the students who are seeking extension to continue their course of study.
