Thank you for the reply. Does it make sense to show the contact with Uncle/Aunt (However I have no evidence to prove it except giving the reference and address) or does it make sense to avoid my entry date to UK (1st week of October, 2009) while filling the fees - questionaire.Greenie wrote:They would have to exercise discretion and would be under no obligation to assess you as a home student.

It does not make sense to lie to the university about the date you came back to the UK because if you do they could withdraw your place. They would also ask for evidence that you have you have been ordinarily residence in the UK for the 3 years. I don't see how being in contact with your aunt and uncle is of any relevence.expdoct wrote:Thank you for the reply.

The problem is, the university usually offers the admission first (in my case, the admission is already offered) and then sends the fees - questionaire. After a good struggle, I am getting the admission - offer (after sending some nice references and application fees). If a university could initially have sent the fees status (before offering me admission or at the best before my application) and decided my fees status, it would have saved my struggle/ application - money. So I was just contemplating whether one month residence gap could be avoided.Greenie wrote:It does not make sense to lie to the university about the date you came back to the UK because if you do they could withdraw your place.

I am sorry but I feel only small percentage of people (may be less than 1% applicant) might fall under the conditions like me (or at the worst, who have British citizenship and have stayed here for more than two years). Anyway I will be writing the truth.Greenie wrote:Universities have thousands of applications each year they can't be expected to fee assess every applicant. Just tell the truth and see what they say. If they assess you as international then defer your place to start next year.
I totally disagree with you, it does not require any discretion. The onus to prove that they have lived in the UK for 3 years prior to the start of course is the only obligation due. Put aside the fact that i have helped people, it is infact the case. Legal or illegal in the last 3 years is not their business. What in fact is important is that you have your leave to remain prior to the 1st day of the academic year.Greenie wrote:No_marriage_certificate wrote:you may have 'helped' people, but I am quoting the law and where the law requires ordinary residence, this does not include unlawful residence. Some universities exercise discretion, others make mistakes, each situation is different. The OP has been referred to the information he needs.Greenie wrote:hi there,sarahassy wrote:Hello mikilo,i'm exactly in the same boat like u,and i want to start my masters in september,i think being a family member of eea u r entitled to all benefits the eea member enjoy,so i think u study as a home student.Get your COA plus all the photocopies of your application and take them to the uni u want to study they will register u as ahome student.
There is no requirement to have been "lawfully" resident in the UK 3 years prior to start of your studies. Only major requirement is to have some form of status before the 1st day of the academic year you are intending to begin (1st september). I am 100% sure of this as i have helped about 5 of my family and friend s put their application through to student finance and on ucas. 1 had indefinite leave to remain after 10 years of being in the country illegally, and the other 4 were MArried to EU citizens for less than a year but have been in the uk for 5,6 & 7 years each unlawfully prior to this. NB- they all recieved their status before the 1st of september for the year they were applying to begin their studies.
in conclusion, its not as complex as we think it is! just make sure u are MARRIED to your EU partner, and for those with indefinite, you should have LIVED in the UK for 3 yrs or more prior to this (be it legally or illegally).
Can anybody reply to my query.expdoct wrote:Hi,
I am a British Citizen (by birth) however I have returned to UK after 15 years. I am staying in UK since October, 2009 (with a support of continuous utility bills, council tax). Since my entry to UK, I am working here. Now I am looking for post graduation in the academic year 2012-13. I have received offer with home fees from some univ. (4-5 univ. in UK, including London) but one univ. is charging me international fees. Now this particular univ. says that other universities are not following the UKCISA rule exactly. Can anyone please tell which version might be right. I was very much interested in this particular university because of my residence in this city. Just for your information, the documents, form - information (related to residence like continuous utility Bills from October, 2009 to Till now) had been submitted all the same in all these universities while filling the fees questionnaire form.
Thanks,
Steve
