If she is on an unmarried partner status, then her conditions of stay would be different to that of a student. I think that she would be free to quit being a student. But why doesn't she want to finish her studies? Any conditions of your stay will be marked clearly in your passport. You should make ...

Hi,

A friend of mine switched her student visa to unmarried partner visa recently, does she still has to finish the course that granted her last student visa. Or she can quit the course, since she is now on unmarried partner visa anyway.

Thanks

Yeah, you probably right. Anyhow, is that possible to be interviewed without an appointment?

Dear all, Just out of curiosity. I went to HO (Croydon) to extend my student visa today, because my interview is booked at 9am, so I went there at 8:15am. When I was there, I saw 4-5 people queuing just outside the security check point. So I queued as well. Not long later, a security asked me that ...

Thanks for your help.

Hi all, I am applying an ILR. Assuming that I got my ILR in near future, then I will apply an Unmarried partner visa for my girlfriend, as we will be living together more than 2 years fairly soon. My girlfriend is currently on a student visa and it is not going to be expired any time soon. My ...

I suggest you take a look at this: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=17005 same issue... Thanks for the link. After reading more previous posts of similar cases, it appears to me that gaps between visa is a big problem. But I have always been a student, would that make any different ...

I would not expect you to have any problems with the Home Office. The UK does not stamp anyone's passport when they leave the UK and many countries do not stamp their citizens' passports (or ID cards) when they return to their home countries. Consequently trying to work out the travel patterns of a ...

Dear all, On 11/09/2007, I will be qualified for ILR under the 10 years lawful stay (student) category. During last ten years, I have been away from UK for few times only, and each of which is less than 2 weeks (except a 2-months away in 1998) so I don't think I have spent more than 18 months out of ...

Forgot to mention, we find her earliest bank statement is Dec 2005 (rather than Jan 2006).

Just one bloody month short.....

We lived together in our first year of relationship (2003-2004) in London. My girlfriend don't even have a bank account during that time, no bank accept her because she was not doing a degree course. So no bill no bank statement for that year. However, she has some "enrollment letters" being sent to ...
