go to this thread and see the most recent posts: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=3455

when do you want to leave for the holidays? there's enough time if you send your application in 12 nov (2 months before expiry)

The 20 hours per week restriction applies only during term-time. So outside term-time there is no restriction in the hours that can be worked by the holder of a student visa.

Do you still think he might have a problem?

Previous History in UK

My brother was working full time (40 hrs )as a developer on a student visa and now he has got HSMP. My question is at the time of extension can he face any trouble because he will keep his existing job for the time being or may be for a long time.

Now, because his contract letter has a starting date of 2years back, while he just got HSMP, so would it be an issue.

previous work history

Post by Junior0300 » Wed Nov 02, 2005 11:10 am

Yes, he did start work on a student visa.

Is there any rule defined somewhere that your previous work history could be checked...

Or have you guys come across to any person with similar situation
