dependents get the same rights as the main applicant. they don't HAVE to study either. you should know that london met cannot issue any CAS until further notice so if you apply to LSBF studying MSc, you will come under a LSBF CAS which means no working rights. if your dependents are overseas, they ...

i suppose if it goes towards the tuition fees then it can be classed as a deposit. but the way you put it sounds like you are charging £1000 just for a number!

i am sorry to ruin your thread, it's only for the benefit of the forum members but CASs from many schools are free of charge!

Tuition fees + correct maintenance = Free CAS.

it sounds to me you qualify for lower maintenance as you are extending your visa to continue your existing course.

Full ACCA (14 papers) is a NQF Level 7 programme so it is an above degree level programme which can be counted towards the 5 year limit. Whether it's a professional qualification is irrelevant. They only look at the course level. On this basis i am afraid they made the correct decision.

it looks like she doesnt have time to do a masters course either where the limit is 6 years. she probably have about a year left to do PHD which is not enough.

in that case it's counted towards the 5 year limit and you have exceeded the limit. if you wish to apply for a tier 4 again, it must be a masters/PHD programme in a gov funded institution.

it looks like you only have other tiers as your options.

how many ACCA papers did you book? 14 papers?

you can check this on the CAS letter that was issued to you.

it should state the length of the course and the NQF level.

the 5 year limit is imposed on courses at NQF level 5 and above.

sorry i wasnt quite clear.

as you may know you can only study a level 7 course for 5 years (unless it's a masters degree/PHD in public funded institution).

if the ACCA course you did was level 7, you may already have exceeded this limit, therefore cannot apply for a Tier 4 again.

what level was the visa issued for when you were studying ACCA?

what level was this?

any studies done on a PSW is not counted towards the 5 year rule, it is a possibility to apply for a Tier 4 after your PSW in 2014.

without a valid passport your application would be deemed invalid and it would be refused.

you would have to show higher maintenance because you didn't complete the course.

You can have a chance to do the course again providing you haven't exceeded the 5 year limit. however the decision is with the school whether to issue you with a CAS due to your lack of progression.

their decision to refuse you was correct because you failed to make a valid application. you shouldnt have wasted your money and time with the appeal and just make a fresh application.

it doesn't have to be level 7 to keep dependents in the UK, it depends on the main applicant and what he/she has done in the past.

may i add placements normally form part of the course and so dont expect your school to arrange any now if it is not part of the curriculum and if you weren't told about this before you sign up for the course.

firstly the dependent cannot switch to a Tier 4 in country so immediately that option is not possible. she can apply from where she came from and his husband can come as a dependent but the course must be with a government funded institution. Admission process is rigorous as always because the ...

you continue to keep the rights on your previous leave to remain until the final result of your appeal is released. if you want to keep your working rights for now, you must continue to appeal, however it could be a waste of time and money if you continued.

Have a look at this: The amount of money that each dependant must show is as follows: If you will study in Inner London, £600 for each month of your course, up to a maximum of 9 months (i.e. a maximum figure of £5,400). The London boroughs that make up "Inner London" are listed in Appendix C, ...

exactly! if you just ''did'' the course and didn't complete it, you have no established presence and therefore must show higher maintenance.

it sounds like he has exceeded the limit allowed already.

as the CAS will be issued for the course as a whole, e.g. ACCA first 8 papers is rated at NQF level 5, but if a student booked full 14 papers (rated at level 7) and get a CAS to cover the whole course, the whole course is counted towards the 5 year limit, disregarding that they will be studying ...

i dont think that will ever happen, think of the amount of students that will be affected. as above, as of today, you can still extend within the UK.

If you are concerned, you can always apply in March.
