疑问求助 Tier 4 转 Tier 2

归档 工作签证
#1

想问一下，下面的红字应该怎么理解。目前有uk本科毕业证，之后的签证是一年的postgraduate diploma t4, 刚上了3个月，拿本科毕业证可以转工签么？还是必须完成现在的课程并取得成绩，才能转？谢谢！

签证情况： 3年本科 --＞ 2年psw --＞ postgraduate diploma （刚上了3个月）

You can only switch into Tier 2 if you meet the following criteria:
• you must have current leave which has not expired in one of the eligible categories
listed above; and
• you must have successfully completed and passed a UK recognised bachelor or postgraduate degree, Postgraduate Certificate in Education or Professional Graduate Diploma of Education or have completed a minimum of 12 months study in the UK towards a UK PhD during your current period of leave or a period of continuous leave1 which includes your last grant of leave; and
• you studied for the eligible award at a UK institution that is a UK recognised or listed body, or an education provider which holds a licence for sponsoring students under Tier 4 of the Points-Based System; and
• you are applying from inside the UK

可以

仔细想想红字中must和current的意思就知道答案了

个人理解这段话对你最重要的是during your current period of leave or a period of continuous leave which includes your last grant of leave红字部分，我的理解是你可以申请的，它说的是要么在当前持有的签证有效期阶段读完的课程（during your current period of leave，这个显然对你不适用 ），或者是在包括当前签证有效期在内的一段连续的时间内读完的学业（应该是你的情况），这段时间内你的签证必须要连续，并且持有有效的可以允许你读这个课程的签证，也就是学生签证。

看这里面说的：http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/working/tier2/general/applying/

If you are switching from Tier 4 or the former categories of student, student nurse, student re-sitting an examination, overseas qualified nurse, person writing up a thesis, postgraduate doctor or dentist or student union sabbatical officer, you must have current permission to stay in the UK and, during that permission to stay, you must have lawfully obtained a UK degree, postgraduate certificate in education or professional graduate diploma of education. This does not include, for example, vocational qualifications at degree level which are not degrees. If you are a PhD student, you do not need to have completed your course, but you must have completed at least 12 months’ study towards it in the UK.

You must have obtained one of the named qualifications above:

at a UK institution that is a UK recognised or listed body, or one which holds a sponsor licence under Tier 4 of the points-based system; and

during your most recent period of permission to stay, or period of continuous permission to stay that includes your most recent permission to stay - this must have included permission for you to study for the qualification.

不好意思啊，我还忘说了，本科毕业之后申请了psw，之后才申请的postgraduate diploma。不知道这样会不会是不一样的结果？

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/immigrationlaw/immigrationrules/part6a/

(d) An applicant under the provisions in (b)(ii) above must meet the following requirements:

(i) The applicant must have completed and passed:

(1) a UK recognised bachelor or postgraduate degree (not a qualification of equivalent level which is not a degree),

(2) a UK Postgraduate Certificate in Education or Professional Graduate Diploma of Education (not a qualification of equivalent level),

or the applicant must have completed a minimum of 12 months study in the UK towards a UK PhD.

(ii) The applicant must have studied for the course in (d)(i) at a UK institution that is a UK recognised or listed body, or which holds a sponsor licence under Tier 4 of the Points Based System.

(iii) The applicant must have studied the course referred to in (d)(i) during:

(1) his last grant of leave, or

(2) a period of continuous leave which includes his last grant of leave.

个人理解是最多追朔到last grant of leave, 如果是psw的话, 那么那个学位课程就不是在规定的特定时间段内进行的.

多谢Johhn大人，昨天就一直在找你。虽说答案不太如人所愿，但还是谢谢你。

每天的回帖新帖都不少,个人时间有时候也有限,很难面面俱到.
我说的只是我个人理解, 其实rules这里说的完全可以再清楚一点儿的, 所以很容易产生歧义, 总之再等等别人的看法吧.

我个人的理解是这个也是可以的，只要你所有的签证都是连在一起没有断开过，因为during your most recent period of permission to stay, or period of continuous permission to stay that includes your most recent permission to stay - this must have included permission for you to study for the qualification里面对你最重要的是红色部分。首先是要continuous，也就是说你曾经持有的学生签证和psw签证要和现在的签证之间不能有gap。其次，这段连续的签证没有断开的期间，必须包括你用于获得学位的那个学生签证，所以你只要符合这个要求应该是可以的。

例如，你如果是08年9月-11年1月学生签证并获得了本科学位，11年1月-12年12月是psw，然后12年9月开始你又开始读现在的学位了，现在也是学生签证，那么你这几个签证之间都没有断开，是连续的。并且你申请签证使用的本科学位是在这段连续的签证期间读的，且这几个签证里面包括了允许你读这个本科的签证（也就是说你读这个本科学位的时候是用学生签证读的，并不是陪读陪工配偶等签证类型期间）。这种情况应该就是可以转tier 2.

还有另一种情况，比如你08年9月-11年1月学生签证并获得了本科学位，但是11年2月才申请了2年psw，后来12年9月又申请了学生签证读现在的学位。这样尽管psw和现在的签证是连续的，但由于你psw和前面的学生签证断开了，当中有1个月gap，这3个签证就不能算一个连续的签证期间，那么一开始获得本科学位的学生签证就不能和当前签证算在一个period of continuous permission to stay。这种情况下就不能转tier 2.

所以我觉得关键是你这几个签证之间是不是连续的没有gap，如果是的话应该是可以申请tier 2的。 当然上面仅我本人的个人观点，你可以看看有没有道理。

谢谢谢谢谢谢，太感谢你花这么长时间给我讲解。

Gap是肯定没有的，签证都是在上一个到期前申请的。刚又给个中介打了电话，他们说必须postgraduate diploma毕业后才能转。看来这问题得问home office了，希望他们能靠谱的回复一下。

很感谢你的回复。

#11

建议lz两方面下手去问吧, 时间来得及的话,email ukba (复杂case的话, 电话费钱答案也不保准儿)
另一方面直接到whatdotheyknow去详细问好了, 不要忘了得到答复后来update啊, good luck :slight_smile:

我只能说，不能一味相信中介，你也知道有很多中介这些政策未必研究的比我们清楚。直接问home office倒是最好的方法。不过光从字面解释，我觉得你只要没有gap，并符合其他列出的要求，就可以转。

#13

嗯，我也是这么说，只能email ukba了，希望他们能快点回复。

那个网站我还不知道呢，谢谢johhn。

#14

必须是你毕业之后才能转，你交材料的时候要把你在英国获得的所有学历原价交付呢。他们要求现在的签证，对应现在的学位。

#15

LZ记得回来汇报哦

#16

发完帖子就发了邮件，还没信儿呢。这效率，没辙。。

#17

虽然不想听到这是事实，还是谢谢啊。{:5_145:}
