Uk Visa Extension: Urgent! Need Help! by megeness: 6:12am On May 22, 2011
Hey Guys, I am currently doing my post graduate in business administration and I intend to continue with my masters of business administration in the same university. My issues are as follows:

1. I put the required 1200 pounds for my maintenance in my bank account and the 28th day will be on the 29th of June 2011.

2. My current visa will expire on the 20th of July, 2011.

3. the balance of my school fees is 1250 pounds which i will pay before i apply for an extension.

I need to know if the time gap between when i apply and when my visa expires is appropriate, that is, i wont get penalized for applying too late and also, if i am legal 2 remain in the UK while my application is being processed, I really need ur help guys, cheers

Most visa extensions require the applicant to leave the UK, and re-apply from their home country. I'm not 100% sure if this will apply in your own case though, you haven't violated the terms of your visa.

No doubt those with more knowledge on visa issues will chime in with their advice.

Your maintenance fees is £5400 if ur school is outside london, its not £1200 as u stated.

For the answer about the time-gap. . read it up here http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/pbs/Tier4migrantguidance1.pdf

Though u can stay in the country while ur application is being processed

86. If a student is already in the UK and his/her existing permission to stay runs out more than one month before the start-date of his/her proposed next course of study, he/she will be expected to return overseas and apply from outside the UK. If the applicant applies from inside the UK, his/her application will be refused. A month will be considered a calendar month (for example, if an applicant’s leave expires on 14 January his/her new course must start no later than 13 February).

BTW, how come the 28th day of your funds already in the bank would be 29th June 2011 when today's date is 22th May 2011?

Most important consideration is the start date of your next course(if its more than one month after the expiration of your current visa,then you'd better go home to apply), secondly,if the school is outside London and you have already paid in full by application date,then you are ok with the £1200 in your account for 28 days (inclusive weekends and bank holidays)

How much is maintenance fees for schools outside london?

Note: The Home Office recognises students who have spent at least six months in a course of study in the UK prior to applying for a new student visa extension,hence the concession of only having to show £1200 in you account for 28 days,being maintenance fee for two months (outside London) and i think £1600 for students inside London.
