Hi all,
I've been unsuccessful at getting this information from the Border Agency.
My partner was a student here in the UK before we met on a Tier 4 visa that was 5 months and 27 days long. His visa allows him to work 20 hours per week during term time and full time during vacations.
Following our civil partnership, we applied for ILR using FLR(O) due to the six month residency requirement not being fulfilled and him being a Syrian national (the lawyer advised this as he couldn't return to Syria to apply because of the problems there at the moment). We met all other conditions.
His course finished a week before his visa expired and we got our ILR application in the day before, so now the application is pending.
All we need to know is if he is permitted to work full time or part time as the rules appear ambiguous. Is he classed as on vacation as his studies finished?
The Border Agency (on the phone) said "it appears that he can work full time" but being cynical, I would like to know where I can find this written down(!) and confirmed.
Any help on this is highly appreciated as he's bored out of his mind not being able to work and of course extra money would be good in case we have to appeal.
