Hey everybody just had a small question I've just completed my degree and I wanna go back and do my alevels would it be possible to get a visa extension for doing a levels after doing a degree or would i likely get a rejections. The reason i would like to do my alevels is because i goofed up in college too much when i was younger and only came out with two a levels and got a c and d at that which does not look very good if anyone can tell me whether my application for student visa will be valid or not it will be a very big help

My friend....going back to do A levels sound very strange. If you thought that u messed up during your A level days, why didnt u make up for it at uni? What did u get in your degree? When u apply for a job, they will look at your university qualification more than your A levels.

No one is going to buy your plans - definite refusal (all these tricks have been tried by many people)....

...I used to hear of people deliberatley failing exams so that they can repeat the years and extend their visas- thus acquiring long residence status...in addition to repeating years, tnhey also took 'years out'......

...good luck with your attempt at 'beating' the system :lol:

As Chess said - No chance and waste of £155 / £250.

Student visas became a very sensitive issue for the IND as there is an immense political pressure surrounding them.
