The UK has lifted a ban on student visas for applicants from Northern India. The ban was introduced last month after a surge in applications from this region.
Pat McFadden, Minister for Business, Innovation and Skills, said, “I am delighted to be able to announce today that from 1 March this suspension will be lifted for all students wanting to study higher education courses, whether foundation degrees, undergraduate or postgraduate.”
The suspension will remain in place for students wanting to study at lower levels, including short-term language courses.
Since the end of January 2010, all Indian Tier 4 (General) Student visa applications were suspended.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for replying..
I had a few Question in my mind and I was wondering if, you could help me?…
1. To show the funds, I am using My joint saving account with my Grandmother. Do I need to give anything from her?…
2. The bank gave me a Printed Bank statement with no logo but bank’s logo’s Symbol, Bank’s stamp, Manager stamp, Manager’s Signature and Manager wrote Banks Phone no. on it. They also gave me a letter Printed on the letter head pad that, Conforms the funds being held and it is also Stamped, Dated and Signed. They said that’s all they could do. Is it alright?..
3. I took the statement on 12 Aug so, what is the last date I can submit it with my application?..
4. As I am a 17 years old general student living independently, they ask for temporary accommodation address in the application form . My ant lives in England and she is a British citizen. Can I fill her address in?..
Looking forward to hearing from you..

Hi Satinder
Thanks for coming back to me.
NQF level 3 is not a degree level equivalent so your application will still be on hold until the suspension is completely lifted.
Here’s how the NQF can be mapped:
Level 1: GCSE at grades D – G
Level 2: GCSE at grades A* – C
Level 3: A / AS Level
Level 4: Certificate of Higher Education
Level 5: Diplomas of higher/further education and foundation degrees
Level 6: Bachelor degrees, graduate certificates and diplomas
Level 7: Masters degrees, postgraduate certificates and diplomas
Level 8: Doctorates

Hi Satinder
Really no idea I’m afraid. But the suspension has been lifted for courses of degree level, which I think make up a large bulk of applications from that part of the world.
What course are you/have you applied for?

Mr.Javed, what you should do is find a reliable agent immediately
and get yourself admitted in an university. The agents are going to further support you with all the help you need.

If the news in your country quotes the British High Commissioner as saying that the ban won’t be lifted until September, then that must be taken as trustworthy I’d of thought.

No news on when the suspension will be lifted Mohiuddin – I’m sure they’ll review the situation at the end of March. At least applicants whose scheduled appointments are suspended will be prioritised for appointments when the UK Border Agency begins to accept Tier 4 applications again.
