Guys my passport expires in late 2021 but my course official end date in January 2022, though its mid 2021really. Will the passport date be an issue during consideration for visa?

got this news from Bournemouth University too!

Yes Bournrmouth sent same mail to me yesterday. I believe they finally got better clarification from a more authoritative source. Earlier last month when i was applying for a 2 years msc program in Bournemouth which starts in January 2020, i mailed them as regards the 2 years post study, they simply said, The 2 years post study work visa applies for the 2020/21 academic year, which starts in September and hope this clarified matters. But then afteran update came from a more reliable blog and source they had to disseminate same to their prospective students like the Buckingham university did in their school site earlier enough. In all, This settles many controversies

My course is not only rounding up in summer 2021 but winter 2020. Which is what i opted for. The 7months placement for my course was the bomb! And am happy i went for the January option which is longer.

Meanwhile i think we have some Bournemouth prospective students here than i expected. This is good. I Almost felt like a lone ranger riding to Bournemouth in January.

It depends on the number of year. If it is just one year program, the person is not eligible.

all Jan 2020 are eligible ! 1year MSC program in UK universities usually end in the summer period! Eg jan2020 to May 2021 coupled with 4 extra months! So far your course ends in summer of 2021 you are entitle to apply for the post study visa.

Not all. Check the end date of course as written in your CAS.

That is what will be used as determinant.

UK give four months extra in all Tier 4 visa. If you start your program in September, u will still be given
four extra months.

Enemy of progress.

This stuff does not have any relationship with PSW.

Johnson plans to do immigration system similar to what Australia and Canada are currently doing.

Hi house been going thru this thread since page 290 . I must say I like how committed @hosey is in advising people to grab the 2 years post study Visa.
I studied in the UK (Middlesex) graduated 2018 but was sent packing immediately I felt so angry . I swore I would never consider UK as an option for masters or even settling.
Fast forward to September 2019, when Boris Johnson announced the post study Visa. On hearing the news, I first felt angry at why that strict lady called Theresa May was the prime minister at my time because I knew she did not really speak for all of the British when she said student immigrants should go home immediately after study. I know this for a fact because I did internship in a company where one of the staff told me they would love to employ international graduate trainees prior to how they did in the past to retain trainees that are successful and show hard work in the training program then would sponsor the successful trainees for tier 2 Visa.
But sadly that facility was taken from them because they can not possibly sponsor the total amount of international graduate trainees they want (companies pay an individual fee to the government for each international student they give CoS and they usually have a limit they can give out), so they look for the British or EU graduates to fill those positions whom they feel are not as hardworking, committed and determined as other international graduates.

So from someone that studied in the UK and was able to communicate with some in the professional setting, I can assure you that with the two year post study visa given, There would be lot of options open for international graduates who are smart . I would share them


Option 1
TIER 2 VISA
After studies, students would have 2 years plus the 4 months on their previous study Visa to find a job. This time is enough time to find a job that can offer them a Tier 2 Visa. During my time, I got like 4 offers from different companies in just 3 months , 3 could not sponsor my Tier 2, but one could but the time was so limited to process it (8 days before my Visa expires) . Imagine the amount of time international graduates would not have at their disposal .
Do not believe some who say getting a tier 2 job is not assured after study. As long as you play your cards right you will surely get one . In fact it is more easier to see a skilled graduate job in the UK than US . This is because most US jobs demand for experience and previous projects, but unlike the US in order to increase your chances of getting a Tier 2 job in the UK in the time period of your post study Visa., try to
1. Try to get a first class or Distinction in your degree, this would put you ahead of graduates below your classification and you will be 80% likely to get a tier 2 job before your 2 years post study runs out. Unlike Nigeria , it is quite easier and more straight forward to get a first class in Bsc or Distinction in masters

2. Do a course that is needed more in the UK. Check for courses that are needed when applying . Courses that are Computer or IT related are now at the top of the list (at least 75% likely to get a job). Other courses like Nursing, Engineering and Science.Kindly avoid courses that are not either important to the UK economy, makes you your own boss or are in high supply like Interior Design, Arts and Dance.

3. If possible try to do a PhD. Though this may not be necessary but doing a PhD in a course that is needed would surely put on the top of favoured ones by employers in the UK. But like I said before , this would not be necessary if you follow 1 and 2.


OPTION 2
WORK EXPERIENCE
As a international graduate, you will surely get work experience in your 2 years post study period which would be valued by employers in Nigeria if you eventually go back home. This experience would put you above others based in Nigeria. With a masters degree and at least 2 year British work experience, you will be able to apply EASILY for a managerial job.


OPTION 3
MARRIAGE
Marriage is another way to settle down in the UK, but sadly most international graduates who wishes to use this route have not found it easy to find a person in just 3 months as you do not expect them to make this their priority during study whether fake or real marriage.
But with 2 year post study Visa, international graduates who wishes to use this route can be able to search without haste for someone to marry (someone of their own taste) and can even start processing their marriage Visa before their post study Visa runs out .


OPTION 4
OPPORTUNITY TO MIGRATE TO OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES

When I was in the UK, the person I stayed with was on tier 2 Visa, but his wife was finding it hard to get a visa to meet him (because of some complex issues) . So he applied for an Express entry to Canada for him and his family. I must say, it was much easier for him to get the Canadian Visa than his contemporaries in Nigeria because his points were off the roof .
This is due to the facts that he
1. Had a UK masters in an IT field
2 . Had just 2 years work experience in UK.

In addition, the Canadian Express entry has a cap in each country, applicants from Nigeria would find it harder because many would be applying unlike applicants from developed countries like UK . Since the Canada Express entry was introduced to increase immigration of skilled labour, imagine how much value would be added to an application from a skilled worker based in a developed country like UK.


In conclusion this newly announced 2 years post study will make UK a preferred choice of study .
Personally I still feel Canada is better than the UK for student path to settlement, but I think UK and US are now on the same playing field and since is easier to get a UK study Visa than in the US, I would advise many to choose the UK over US by 2020.

Showing the date and time of this tweet is important.

Implication of this tweet:
New visa rule changes hinges upon BREXIT. For now.

I previously wrote here that the changes are PROPOSALS (which I would personally be glad if the proposals metamorphose into policies).

For now, my personal advisory for prospective tier-4 students is:
Choose the UK because you want to get world class, cutting edge education, not because you want to use it as a ‘back door’ for immigration.
In choosing the UK, choose the fantastic schools with amazing records. Don’t choose the shitty universities (yes! There are Shitty universities in the UK too). Don’t choose anyhow courses, choose great courses.

Learn skills. If (and when) you finally go to the UK, don’t limit yourself to the ‘usual’ care jobs, security jobs, hospitality jobs. Learn skills. Spend money to register with professional bodies (assuming you were a professional in Nigeria).

Learn programming. Learn software development. Learn Salesforce. Learn Business analysis. Register for NVQs in your field (if applicable).
Etc...


PS:
When folks advice that the proposed 2-year PSW visa should be treated as a proposal. And should not (for now) be taken hook, line & sinker, someone claims it’s because they are envious. Na wa ohhh

Not all. Check the end date of course as written in your CAS.

UK give four months extra in all Tier 4 visa. If you start your program in September, u will still be given
four extra months.
bro we are still saying the same thing! Jan2020 MSC least date for graduation is 2021 summer! So they are qualify to apply for it too!


FAQ

Will students who are already here be able to benefit?

Any student who successfully completes their degree-level course at a qualifying institution in the summer of 2021 or after will be eligible. This includes students who are already studying. Those whose Tier 4 leave expires before the route is introduced will not be eligible for it, however, most of these students will have had no expectation of benefitting from such a route when they applied to study in the UK. These students can still benefit from the generous provisions which allow them to switch in the skilled work route on favourable terms.

This experience would put you above others based in Nigeria. With a masters degree and at least 2 year British work experience, you will be able to apply EASILY for a managerial job.


OPTION 3
MARRIAGE
Marriage is another way to settle down in the UK, but sadly most international graduates who wishes to use this route have not found it easy to find a person in just 3 months as you do not expect them to make this their priority during study whether fake or real marriage.
But with 2 year post study Visa, international graduates who wishes to use this route can be able to search without haste for someone to marry (someone of their own taste) and can even start processing their marriage Visa before their post study Visa runs out .


OPTION 4
OPPORTUNITY TO MIGRATE TO OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES

When I was in the UK, the person I stayed with was on tier 2 Visa, but his wife was finding it hard to get a visa to meet him (because of some complex issues) . So he applied for an Express entry to Canada for him and his family. I must say, it was much easier for him to get the Canadian Visa than his contemporaries in Nigeria because his points were off the roof .
This is due to the facts that he
1. Had a UK masters in an IT field
2 . Had just 2 years work experience in UK.

In addition, the Canadian Express entry has a cap in each country, applicants from Nigeria would find it harder because many would be applying unlike applicants from developed countries like UK . Since the Canada Express entry was introduced to increase immigration of skilled labour, imagine how much value would be added to an application from a skilled worker based in a developed country like UK.


In conclusion this newly announced 2 years post study will make UK a preferred choice of study .
Personally I still feel Canada is better than the UK for student path to settlement, but I think UK and US are now on the same playing field and since is easier to get a UK study Visa than in the US, I would advise many to choose the UK over US by 2020.

Nice write-up bro. Tks for letting them know the truth.

You are real and straight to the point.

So many deceivers in this forum.

We have both tried by letting people make an informed decision.

The lack of knowledge some HRs have can be frustrating. 8 days would have been enough for you to be sponsored. As long as there was an intime application made. If visa expired, you have 14 days grace to put in an application as UKVI will disregard a period of overstaying provided you apply for a new visa, or renewal of your existing visa.

Option 1
TIER 2 VISA
After studies, students would have 2 years plus the 4 months on their previous study Visa to find a job. This time is enough time to find a job that can offer them a Tier 2 Visa. During my time, I got like 4 offers from different companies in just 3 months , 3 could not sponsor my Tier 2, but one could but the time was so limited to process it (8 days before my Visa expires) . Imagine the amount of time international graduates would not have at their disposal .


I think this is not entirely true. Location might possibly speed things up. Canada Express Entry for Masters and Work experience are graded the same points no matter the country. Work experience in Canada would definitely give points but not UK.

Start-up visa is worth mentioning as well

Yh I argee with you, the person I stayed with said the same thing . It was likely the HR would not like to go through that scare or did not have enough knowledge.

Second on the Canada issue, remember I said each country have a cap so let us use this mathematical example . For this example we would give Nigeria and UK the same cap.
Imagine if 40000 people are allowed from both Nigeria and the same with UK.
We all expect over 1 million Nigerians to apply for the slot of 40000. This would make the cut off from Nigeria for the Express entry to be high .

Now look at the UK .
We expect less than even 5% of the UK population(resident and non resident) to apply for it, because let us face it, Having an indefinite resident permit for UK is better than Canada.
So it may even be less than 5% of the population. In fact I am certain that the UK will not have passed its cap .

So that is why it would be easier to get it at long as you reach the average cut-off cos the competition is few .

In addition Work experience from a developed country like UK would give hidden points you may not realise, let us be Frank, the canadians know what they want. They want the best . Would you prefer an IT skilled worker from Togo over one from the USA ?

Based on what you've analysed, it's down to location then.

So you saying they potentially designed a 'hidden point' system that will discriminate based on location grin ...

What truth exactly? Tobexin is right Jan starters qualify as they will be graduating in summer 2021 while you are busy punching in the dark.

When you started this argument before they asked you to provide evidence to back it up but you failed to do that but keep misleading people that Jan starters will not qualify.

Not every Jan starters will graduate in the summer of 2021 bro. There is 9 and 12 months program in case you don't know.

The end date of your CAS will decide.

See I don't have my precious time to waste with you.

I am not benefiting from anything.

But I won't allow you giving people false hope.

You were mocking those with Ireland 2 years post study visa and comapring it to UK.

Now you are changing turns. See guy. If you dont know something, admit it.

either Tier 1, 2,3,4 or 7 visa. Teaching is sweet in UK cheesy wink kiss, not as difficult as it was in NAIJA.

Get into teaching with your 20 hours student permit and be earning BIG. They will even sponsor your work visa if you are very good.

do u mean winter 2021. Cool.

You really want to get the 2 years post study visa which is great for you and your prospective career.

For those who followed our advice, it will worth it in the long run.

Dont mind all those who are envious trying to mislead u and want u to do the same mistake.

Guys sorry for the typo-error, i actually meant my msc course starts in Jan 2020 and ends in winter 2022. (January 2022). Which is an added advantage, since PSW commenses Summer 2021, and my course would only but end in 2022. (7 months placement inclusive)

This is 9 months MSC programme here: http://www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/study/subject-area/finance-pg.aspx

Are you telling me they will also graduate in the summer of 2021 because their program commences in January 2020.

I never said those who apply January 2020 are ineligible. It depends on the duration and end date of your CAS.

This is as simple as ABC.

No one should misquote me if you want to argue.

I won't tolerate any lie. You are going out of order.

You are clueless obviously, Jan Msc courses ends summer 2021 which is why they are given 18months visa unlike Sept starters with 16months.

Give me an example of those Jan courses that ends before summer 2021, just one.
