Some time limits were introduced on 6 April 2012 for degree level study. Any new Tier 4 application must lead to you spending no more than five years on courses at degree level. All time you have had leave under Tier 4 (or as a pre-Tier 4 student) counts towards the 5 years, except for the short extra time you are given before the course (maximum one month) and after a course (maximum four months).
Sometimes getting a CAS is not any problem, lots of Institute do not calculate the cap properly and just issue the CAS or they just issue the CAS not thinking about the outcome.quantum1 wrote:If you can get a cas you can
They will check your previous visas and how much time you left for the Cap, and then they will look at your new course's duration on your application. As I mentioned before I know few cases where they calculate students have less time limit for the cap rather than what the student and the institute calculate.samiraz wrote:Thanks all for reply.
Ditima98 : I was looking into doing MSc. in Economics. MBA will not suit me in the career I am looking at. Would 1+3 PhD not classify as a academic progression since my masters will form my PhD ?
shaq1: Does the UKBA calculate the 5 year based on my application form ? Because If I am correct based on my previous CAS, I have 1 Year and 2 months left before reaching a 5 year Cap.

Olasunkanmi wrote:@ smir, from your post you need only 1yr for ILR, I will advice that you apply for PHD programme and if you get refusal which is possible due to 8yrs cap, you can then appeal and during your appeal period you should be near your 10yrs period for ILR.
Olasunkanmi wrote:@ smir, you stated to have already spent 7yrs and 3months on Tier4, so you are not likely to get any visa because of the 8yrs cap but if you apply for PHD you will be showing progression but its not certain if visa will be issue and you can then appeal whatever their decision is to push your 10yrs on. I dont think ACCA meet progression, so not likely you even get point for that.
As per appeal, if they refuse to grant you appeal if visa get refused, then you can apply to get appeal right or you can go for Judicial review.
But if you are refused and given appeal right, you can apply for ILR within 28days of appeal decision whatever the outcome as you should be very close to your 10yrs period.
The most easiest option is if you can get a sponsor for Tier2 visa and then apply for your ILR once you complete your 10yrs in UK.
