Tier4 转 Tier2， 在UK递签还是回国

归档 工作签证
#1

请教大家这个问题，我是否eligible to apply Tier2 inside the UK…。
一下是我看的UKBA的官方资料，我觉得我可以在UK境内申请。不过我好像看到，感觉，有人从tier4转tier2要回国去申请，所以不太确定，跟大家讨论一下。

根据http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/working/tier2/general/applying/ 的信息，我看了Can you switch into Tier 2 (General)?，本人是符合所设定的条件的。具体来说
If you are switching from Tier 4 （我的情况）or the former categories of student,。。。you must have current permission to stay in the UK （2013年11月到期） 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 （这个没有，但是我符合一下条件）. 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 （在正规大学）; 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 （again Tier4在手）.

所以。。。希望有人能帮我解惑，确认一下，讨论一下。。。
先谢了

LZ是否已经完成学业了？ 如果是的话，可以在UK转，如果还未完成学业，就必须回国转。其中还有一个隐形条件，课程必须是有学位的，如果是CFA之类的，那么无论完成与否，都需要回国转

#3

有效期内的T4签证，已完成学业拿到学位(本科/硕士)，或完成1年以上PHD课程，职位和收入符合要求，雇主已经帮你申请了COS，就可以在境内申请T2G。楼主可以自己对照条件是否符合。

#4

没有拿到证书，学校的完成学业证明也开不出来。我就想知道你是根据什么来说，没完成学业就要回国签的？

#5

你没有拿到学位的话，是无法在英国申请T2的。你自己都已经把UKBA的原文贴出来了。
If you are switching from Tier 4 or the former categories of student, 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.

谢谢。 那后面一句什么意思 ？ 或者有什么意义？： 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.

楼主，如果我没理解错，您是说您是博士在读，而且已经读了超过一年。
那么根据UKBA Tier2 policy guidance,

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

这一条，您完全可以在英国境内申请。

楼上的UVIC 没有考虑您的实际情况。

楼上可以看我3楼的回复。其实我在3楼的时候就已经明确的说到完成1年PHD课程可以申请了。因为楼主的1楼原帖没有说明自己在读PHD。

#9

三楼我也看到了，就是不明白为什么会有二楼。
谢谢你的回复。

谢谢回复。UVIC还是很负责的回答的。
