NO .... You can only have IGS/PSW visa once. Even if you do another masters you wont be able to apply for PSW again. Had you not applied for IGS that would have been in your favoure but as things stands although you can go on IGS/PSW to student but you can only have IGS/PSW once.

Hope that helps

Before moving from IGS to student Visa i Had option for second year of IGS on last october 2008.I called student services in immigration they told me maximum stay i can have for 24 months.I can apply for Igs again under PSW for only 1 more year which will make it 24 months altogether in Uk

Please kindly confirm me

Yes but you have to go IGS/PSW you can not go on IGS and then student and then again PSW. Surely you can have 24months but can not have gaps according to my understanding and according to PSW rules.

Your options are Tier 2 and Tier 1 (general), and you cannot switch to Tier 1 (PSW) from studnet because you have already been on IGS.

I believe you are on IGS at the minute. If i were you i would apply for PSW and continue with studies and at the end of the PSW i would apply for HSMP (if qualify). All depends on your previous jobs and the job which you can do during the PSW (1 year).

oR

Apply for PSW and apply for jobs; do full time job and part-time studies and at the end of PSW if you earn more than 21k-22k a year you would qualify for HSMP and would be able to apply for HSMP. It all depends on your points which you can claim and show.

Again i am not a lawyer the best option for you would be to seek legal aid

All the best

Yes, Tier 1 (general) is an option, but if you do not score enough points you could be sponsored by an employer under Tier 2.

Do you have a spouse or children in the UK?

I dont have any spouse or children at the moment I am single

I am applying for jobs now a days as my Msc thesis will finish in sept

Then Tier 1 (general) or Tier2 it is, unless you qualify for Tier 5 youth mobility scheme.
