You can not argue that this was done solely for money... The 3rd world countries are called 3rd world countries because of their lack of education, students from such countries SHOULD NOT be held accountable entirely for their decision to come into the UK on a student visa only to work, the UK Government knew better yet they duped many thousands of students into bringing their hard earned money only to find out that they were not welcomed here!!

I need clarification about which regulation applies to me, Is it before or after 5 October 2009? Please if anyone could advice me on this. Many thanks F saat Hi,

Unfortunately during my Erasmus year abroad I lost the passport with my UK student visa. As I only have 1 year left on my course and all the funds for the course are present, the only thing is that the funds have not been in an account for 28days. But seeing as I already had a valid visa with the old rules, would this mean that I my applicatin will still be refused on the new Tier 4 point based system? Or will my application be assessed on the old rules? Since technically it is a transfer of conditions. Hi,

This is the key date, not when you entered the UK. Remember you can actually fly to the UK a month before your course starts so you could well have gotten your visa before 5 October 2009. If you got your tier 4 student visa before 5 October 2009 You will have to obtain permission from the UK Border Agency to change education provider. You can ask for this permission by sending an email to MigrantReporting@ukba.gsi.gov.uk. You must include the following details: - the new sponsor’s name, address and contact details; and - details of the new course, including the start and end date; and - if the new course is shorter or longer than your current course The UK Border Agency will write to you confirming they’ve received your request. As long as they can confirm the following information, you will be given permission to change tier 4 sponsors: - your new education provider is currently licenced under the Tier 4 Register of Sponsors; and - your new school has accepted you and wants to be your new sponsor; and - your new planned course of study meets the necessary requirements to qualify under the Points Based System Once you have emailed the UK Border Agency with the above information and have received an acknowledgment from them you can actually start your new course without waiting for the result of your request. However, this is at your own risk as the UK Border Agency may well decide to refuse you permission to switch sponsors. If you fail to ask the UK Border Agency for their permission to switch sponsors you’re permission to stay in the United Kingdom as a student will be limited. If you got your tier 4 student visa after 5 October 2009 It is much simpler to change education provider in this situation. You just have to make a new Tier 4 (General) Student visa application supported with a new visa letter of confirmation of acceptance for studies from your new tier 4 sponsor. You will not be able to start your new course until your new visa application is approved by the UK Border Agency. You are free to leave your current sponsor but do so entirely at your own risk, as the UKBA may refuse your application meaning you may not be able to return to your original course. <a href="http://www.adviceforyou.org.uk/blog/uk-student-visa/immediate-changes-to-process-of-switching-sponsor-introduced/">From 23 July 2010, the rules for switching sponsor have changed</a> so be sure to review them.

They don't enquire where you will be staying on the application forms. You should note however that this will not change the amount of funds you will be required to show. I would also carry a letter from your relatives when you fly to the UK so that you can show the Immigration Officer, if they ask. You will need to submit all documents you used to enrol on your course (e.g. proof of English level) as well as evidence of funds in the form of bank statements or savings pass book. You will need to show you've had the funds for a period of 28 days before your application. How much maintenance you are required to show depends on where you will be studying: in inner London boroughs or elsewhere - £7,200 or £5,400. Check with the UKBA for up-to-date guidance. Hi Kashif
