Hello everyone,
I got a tier 4(general) students visa,3weeks back to study computer security, Masters degree,and when i got the visa on the visa was written "work prohibited police registration 7 days in UK" but i misunderstood the sentence ,now I'm in the UK and it turns out that according to the status of the visa I'm not allowed to work even though its a tier 4 (G)visa, Its really confusing,my course will last for 17months full time and i think i meet all the requirements, So my questions are

1)Why should they offer me the visa with a work prohibited status?
2)What's the best solution to grant me the 20hours permit.?
3)Is there really a way out of this?

Will be glad if anyone could help me out.

Nigerians don't register with the police and Tier 4 students with highly trusted sponsors are allowed to work.

Your case is a strange one. Your school can help you sort that out when you get to the UK, the international office or the student union will take up your case. That must be a mistake.

yeah i am also very confused,and it all feels twisted, Hope this has a solution,
Besides im in the Uk already, Will go to the university that granted me the visa and ask for some help,

Anyway thanks alot for the response.) really appreciat.

Don't delay it, walk into you international office and tell them that you have been made to register with the police and banned from working, police registration will cost you about £35. You need to have written explanation from UKBA why you have been subjected to those conditions.

Thanks alot Justwise,really appreciate your replies and your time,will keep you updated with situation,
