Hello

I'm a non-EU national, on tier 4 student visa till Feb2012. I have just finished my MA in October 2011. Graduation is in February.

Now I'm waiting for the university to send me official document confirming the award.

I want to go home for a week and then come back and apply for PSW as soon as I can.

Is there any risk that I be refuse re-entry as I no longer need to be in the UK to study as the course is finished?

Many thanks
Alex

Yes they can check everything as they have telephone lines, mobile phones and internet/broadband available at Airport entry points and they know how to use it.

Plus, if you got your current visa in/after February-2010 through CAS, its just a matter of few clicks!

They will not let you enter = 95% chance

They will keep you detained at Airport, few hours or a day, then let you enter = 5% chance

I am a Canadian. I didn't know about this and I entered Jan 2012 after my course finished in July 2011. I was detained 2 hours, fingerprinted and then refused entry. My student visa was cancelled and I was stranded in Brussels.

I am now in my home country applying for PSW with the help of a lawyer. Wish me luck! :)
