hi
i have already posted my query elsewhere but on re-reading it i'm not sure i made myself clear...
my australian boyfriend is currently applying for a business HND course. on receiving an offer he will then be completing an application for a student visa. the rules seem clear about how many hours he can work and when on commencing his course which we have no problems with but what i can't seem to find out is how long BEFORE his course starts will his student visa be valid?
i'm assuming there must be some time margin that allows international students some time to settle in before starting their study but is it specified? or would they simply be here as a visitor until the start of the course validates the student visa?
further to that, would the attempt to do a few weeks' work at the same time as sorting accomodation/course materials etc. be a violation of the rules of study/work as stipulated in the student visa conditions.
grateful,
jessica
