本人的情况是这样:
之前在英国MASTER毕业后申请了PSW签证至今,现在申请了ACCA 的14门课程(NQF Level 7),因为之前的master文凭也是NQF Level 7,现在念的课程是和上一个课程的NQF Level 相同。
根据今年7月的新政策,如果新申请的课程没有比之前念的课程的level更高的话。必须在CAS Letter里面加入一项叫做Academic Progression.
以证明将要学习的课程跟之前念的课程有联系。
学校说了,念跟上一个课程相同的level是没有问题的,可是在它给我开的CAS Letter里面却没有包括Academic Progression这一项。我问了学校,学校说因为我是从Tier 1(PSW)转到学生签,所以不用在CAS Letter里面加上Academic Progression.
我已经把board agency上所以关于学生签的东西都看了,没有找到关于从PSW转学生签不用ACADEMIC PROGRESSION的信息。并且在签证的Guidance里面还有提到:
If a Tier 4 (General) student has a CAS that was assigned on or after 4 July 2011, and he/she has previously had permission to stay as a Tier 4 (General) Student (or under the student rules that were in force before 31 March 2009), a Tier 4 Sponsor can only give the him/her a CAS for a new course if that new course represents academic progress from his/her previous study (for example the student will be studying for a new qualification at a higher academic level – for instance moving from a course at NQF 6 to one at NQF 7 -, or study at the same academic level that complements or enhances previous study at the same level).
我从08年12月到10年1月拿的是学生签在读MASTER, 上面有提到 “he/she has previously had permission to stay as a Tier 4 (General) Student (or under the student rules that were in force before 31 March 2009”
那么就是说我的CAS Letterl里面也需要有ACADEMIC PROGRESSION。可是学校就是说我不需要。我很担心因为这个被拒签,到时候就算是因为学校的原因也晚了。
希望有知道的朋友告诉我到底我需不需要ACADEMIC PROGRESSION.
谢谢了!
