Hi Board Member
Greetings!
I'm looking for an urgent advice.
I'm Indian citizen and I hold Tier 2 ICT visa and my first entry clearance visa was issued in Aug 2010 since then I'm on the same visa in UK and extended multiple times, my current visa is valid until 13 Feb 2020 and I would need another 5-6 months visa to be eligible for 10 years ILR route. My current employer does not want me to sponsor after Feb 2020. This means I've to look for Tier 2 General visa for another 6 months or if I get a Tier 4 General Student visa. Which option I should opt for? I heard that getting a job on Tier 2 general visa is very difficult, is that true?
If I opt for Tier 4 study visa, is there any post graduate course available within GBP 5000 for international students which offers Tier 4 visa?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

With this budget it might not be possible. Still you can google search yourself.

Seek a new employer until Feb 2020. If all failed, make sure to leave the UK before visa expiry and return within 6 months with any visa. Your 10 years will remain intact and you can get long residence ILR

I've searched on Google but couldn't find any. Any suggestions within 8k?

Check Tier 4 Sponsor List and then it comes down to making phone calls to these colleges and finding out their fee etc. off-course colleges with no working rights will be a lot cheaper than universities. So if you have sufficient savings and don't have dependants, you would be better off applying with such colleges and not working and surviving on your savings. Not sure about your personal circumstances, but you can downgrade your life style a bit more from March 2019 to July 2019 and as soon as you are within 28 days of your 10 years qualifying period, book super priority appointment and hope for the best.
