I will most likely do so. Especially if I am placed in a good place for work experience why not

Bourne007:
It's part of his course .. so yes he can

justwise:


If the work placement is in between your course yes you can extend your visa without leaving the UK and you have to also show that you have the money for the remaining time in the UK.

You can also apply within the UK to start a new course without leaving the UK as long as you did that before your current visa expires

Justyce:
please gurus I need answer to this... am I allowed to take things like soap, body cream, perfume, bodyspray, red oil. detergent, washing soap while traveling?

spikesC:




No he cannot

It is sometimes possible to decide after arriving in the UK to add a work placement to your course. If you add a work placement and, as a result, need to spend longer in the UK, you will have to make another Tier 4 immigration application. The Home Office will treat you as if you are starting a new course so if you apply for your visa on or after 6 April 2016 you will not be able to start your course with a work placement until you have made your new Tier 4 application. You will have to make this application outside the UK because the Home Office says that you do not meet its definition of 'academic progress'. For these reasons, it is important that you discuss adding a work placement with your course provider as early as possible, and some colleges and universities might not be able to offer this option.

There's also another link but my network is so bad I can't open the attached image in my mail box.

Finally, I am currently in Nigeria to extend my visa because I added a one year work placement.

You are reading from a wrong headline. That paragraph is referring to a case where a student changed course. The op is not changing course or changing sponsor.

Guys, i need assistance ooo. I tried booking and what i saw under my date of birth is 12 September 2016, then i went back and corrected but when i try to apply, it still reflects as 2016. What do i do please? I have confirmed the booking cos of that.
cc: olowob, justwise, mrsdaniels, chucksbenin, spikesc... and the gurus. help oooo

MrsDaniels:

Printout your document and make correction with a pen your correct Dob, the visa officer will know its a mistake. Before you submit it at the VAC.

fizzile:
Sure? Will it be allowed? Am at Abuja at the moment and wana book appointment for friday. Please correcting with a pen is it allowed? Wanna be sure. cc: MrsDaniels

MrsDaniels:
[
Yes and i think even justwise has mentioned here too in his subsequent posts. You can correct with pen or type or write a short cover letter telling the vo that there is an error on ur dob when you printed it out that the actual dob is so so and so. Simple if this second option makes u more better. Its allowed cos thats why u see them courier those application forms with ur oda supporting documents to the Uk for processing, thats the only way to correct as you cant correct it again after online submission. Write it neatly on an A4 sheet explaining just as have said to show the discrepancy in ur dob. All the best dear!

Please who do I address it to? Have been so confused. Couldn't sleep through the night. Been awake thinking my head out. cc MrsDaniels

Yeah, i know. Unfortunately, they've deemed changing to a sandwich degree as a change of course.
The most basic decision they made is, if you're not progressing to a higher level, you must apply from outside.

To enforce this new rule, my university insisted I must have exited the country and sent a proof that I did (POE stamps) before I would be issued a CAS.

I have attached an excerpt of the email notification sent out by the university.
And also attached the discussion between UKCISA and UKBA. The link is (http://institutions.ukcisa.org.uk/Info-for-universities-colleges--schools/Info--guidance/tier-4-compliance/2016/) and I just noticed you need to be a member to view it.

Biometric RESIDENT permit, not permanent residency.

You are referring to a different scenario, this is not the case with marauka , he is not changing course, sponsor or reseating course/exam.

The work program is part of his course and approved by the university.

Read your attachment again and you will see the constant reference to change

Spike c I really appreciate maybe its time to put across a call to my school to find out their opinion on this. Meanwhile I reached out to furus who happened to be my classmate (great thanks to nairaland) she explained to me that the choice for the work placement was made by her at the point she applied for admission. I erroneously thought that I will opt for the work placement when I get to school probably during registration. Now that have i realised my mistake, i intend correcting my visa so to accommodate the extra one year for the placement.

Once you have gotten a decision mail, wait for about 3-5 working days, once you don't Get collection mail, visit the centre and your documents would be there already. I am assuming you did not pay for courier.

I haven't even received decision mail yet. Do you think I can go to the VAC without receiving a decision mail?
