Thanks for your reply

But then, if i change visas, will i still be able to complete Uni? Assuming all I have left to do is my project /thesis
Your change in Visa status doesn’t have anything to do with your education though, staying in school or dropping out is at your discretion unless you are on a scholarship. People switched from Tier 4 to Tier 2 and still completed their studies.

Hi Everyone,

Clarification is sought on a gift/benefit that looks too good to be true. Our house has received Energy Bills Support Scheme payment twice now (Oct &Nov) .I intend to return both as, I am getting uncomfortable. Are international students eligible for this ? Especially as the visa expressly states that we cannot have "no recourse to public funds"

Please I need to get this right. I don't want issues now or in the future .

Thank you

Yes. I believe there are people on this thread who have done that.
I would advice you speak with your schools international desk, they’d better be able to advice you. I think for many, they’d have the option of switching to part time, but since you only have dissertation left, it should be an easy pass.


Thank you

I appreciate

Hello house, please I've come with my questions again.

Please, if a person on UKRI funded PhD happens to get a sponsorship and wants to switch visa while still continuing with the PhD (won't interfere with normal school activities), do you think the school would have a problem with it or withdraw the funding? After careful consideration personally, I'd like to hear the opinions of y'all should I have missed to factor in something important. Please what are the pros and cons?

cc Ticha, semmyk, TheGuyFromHR
Honestly, you have to think about this carefully. A PhD is seen as a full time job, hence the reason why you guys do not get term time off, just annual leave. If it’s a fully funded scholarship, eg, they are paying for your research, publications, accomodation and giving you stipend, you may have to inform them as they are your official sponsor even though it’s a Tier 4 visa and switching would appear that your research is now part time. So speak to your supervisor and get his advise on it, ILR and Money shouldn’t be the reasons you give him/her though. Also, be very careful how you approach this as they may not only revoke your scholarship, they might ask for a refund (I’ve heard of this happening.). God is with you!

Dear All,
I urgently need an answer to this.
can we (my wife and I) travel separately on Tier 2 dependent UK visa even if we have mentioned 'we will travel together' on our visa application?
Dependent intend to go one month after but want to process visa together


Both of you should be able to travel anyhow - together or individually - you want provided the visa is already granted

This would have been a good idea only if the law enforcement treat cases of fraud with small charges. What it would cost him to get them to look at the case would probably double the amount in question.

However, those people Sabi the work if the proceed of crime is huge and they'll make solid cut themselves aside the payment you'll use to facilitate the investigation... Crazy system!

I understand your point, and that’s why he has to work with a trusted lawyer who will do the legwork for him.
To me, EFCC will be the best bet. If the lawyer can write a powerful petition against the travel agency, they will most likely settle quickly and out of court.

I use a Phillips 5000, that one no reach 100 pounds at all. It should be about 30 pounds.
It's also reliable, I've been using mine for about 2 years now.
Can recommend.

Last week, the UK-India Young Professionals Scheme was confirmed. It's under the UK's Youth Mobility Scheme visa: https://www.gov.uk/youth-mobility/eligibility

This scheme will allow 3,000 Indians (18–30 year-old degree graduates) to come to the UK to live and work for up to two years.

--

I'm excited for Indians. They're winning on liberating their people for global excellence.

Just wish Nigeria will learn the dynamics of social development, poverty reduction and opportunity generation for its citizens.

my sister ( on a student visa) has gotten her COS to switch her visa to tier 2, but passport is expired but has applied for new one but it is taking a long time to be ready. Can she do the application without a valid passport as her COS and visa expiration is very fast approaching?
Is passport actually required or can her BRP suffice?

Why doesn’t she start the application and find out. If a current passport is required she can pause the application and restart when the passport arrives

12kg hand luggage plus backpack? That's great!

Two kids and I. LOL.

Ethiopian Airlines.

I don't know if their policies have changed, but as at Sept '22, for each ticket you're entitled to:
- 2 pieces of 23kg
- 1 piece of hand luggage (7kg)
- An extra 5kg luggage if you do an online check-in within 72 hours of your departure time

I fully utilized every allowance offered smiley


Ethiopian Airlines allow back pack ??

Let her start the application with the expired passport. No biggie. as far as the evidence of passport renewal application is available when asked.
