Tier 4 and work permissons

[Ilya_st]

Hello!
I have several questions concerning work permissions in Tier 4 visa.
I am entering a 4 year PhD course at the University of Exeter. I also received a scholarship from one of the colleges of this University. Recently I have received my Tier 4 visa, and there was a restriction of 10 hours per week occupation. But as far as I know from the guidance, as a PhD student, which is at QCF 8 (QCF_NQF8 as it is written in my CAS), I should get 20 hours per week. This fact confuses me, mostly because we want to apply for the Tier 4 dependant visa for my wife, and in all of the guidances it is written that she will have a permission to work only in case if I am on the course above QCF 6 and longer than 12 months. So formally she has to obtain the permission in the same case when I have 20 h p/w restriction.
So what could you advice in my situation? Should I appeal somehow? Or should we do some notes in my wife’s application and appeal only if she does not get the work permission?

it could be a mistake by caseworker to give u 10 hr p/w .You can write a cover letter to the caseworker explaining the situation and request him to amend it. You can get the detail of caseworker from the approval letter you received wid ur passport and other supporting documents.As long ur CAS was issued by University u shld be fine.

Thank you for your answer!
But I did not find any details about the caseworker neither in the e-mail nor in the envelope with the docs. Where else could they be? Maybe I should ask in the visa center where I applied? And how long the process of correction might take (I worry that I might not receive the passport back before I need to go to UK)? Is it possible to do it after I arrive to UK in September? Thank you again!
