[vickz]

HI,
i just need advice i am on student visa since march 2005,my question is related to 5 years degree level cap,i just wanted to know that from 2006 till mid 2008 i have studied BBA from irish international university which was not a uk awarding body and in 2008 we were informed by college that we have to change the course if we want to get further leave to remain as Ukba has advised them that it not valid anymore and international students can only study courses from UK awarding body....my question is that will that 20 months BBA which i studied from irish university will be counted in my degree level time even though it was UKBA itself to stop that course as we did not finish the course...because if i exclude that bba so far including my most recent visa on MBA my degree level time is 41 months.but adding that time will be obviously 61 months means 5 years.just wanted to know because i need to decided for my extention either go for degree level course or for PHD if i have completed that 5 years time.
waiting for your response.

Yes, 5 Years Cap applies in your case. You need to join either PhD. OR go through Tier 2 Workpermit.

Good Luck
