谢谢回复,我整理了下这两天自己去immigration rule 下的Student 和Short term student visa, 还有十年永居caseworker guidance收集来的一些信息,不知道可否麻烦帮我看下我是否论据充分呢?
ILR caseworker guidance上面看只是说Short Term Student Visa 不再计入永居。并没有提到T4学生签证类别下短期语言课的情况。
我看了现在Student Visa也就是当时t4 general student Visa,对比了Short Term Student Visa 感觉还是有区别,最主要的一点 T4 的pre-sessional language course是允许课程结束后就读higher level 课程,Short Term Student Visa 需要“Intend to leave UK” 我当时的CAS信上写我当时已经有BA本科的conditional offer, condition 之一就是需要满足语言成绩,所以不可能打算离境英国的。
我考虑因为我语言课title是international summer programme,不是T4明确提到的pre-sessional Language course, 所以认为我读的其实是短期课程?可是根据Immigration Rule 中的Student Rout, 对T4 Presessional language course 做了说明,要求如下:
ST 13.1. An applicant must either:
(a) show English language ability on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages in all 4 components (reading, writing, speaking and listening) of at least:
(i) level B2, where the applicant is studying a course at UK bachelor’s degree level or above; or
(ii) level B1, where the applicant is studying a pre-sessional course or a course below UK bachelor’s degree level; or
另外对于不满足语言Level B2 的情况做了补充说明如下,我的CAS上也标注了我原本的语言level 为B1, 而 我的语言课 Course Level 为B2:
ST 15.1. A single Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies can be assigned for a combined pre-sessional course and a main course at degree level or above by a higher education provider with a track record of compliance if:
(a) the pre-sessional course lasts no longer than 3 months; and
(b) the main course will begin no more than 1 month after the pre-sessional course ends.
ST 15.3. If the applicant has been assessed (which must be by a method other than assessment by the student sponsor) as having language ability of at least level B1 in order to meet the English language requirement at ST 13.1., the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies must confirm that the student sponsor is satisfied that the applicant will have at least level B2 at the end of the pre-sessional course.
我感觉根据这三条来说,T4学生签证有不足三个月的情况,只要完成后达到B2的语言水平,且后续正课一个月内开始即可以。
此外,T4 要求此前该学生是不能持有Short- Term student visa, 原文如下,这点我可以理解因为Short-Term Student Visa 要求课程结束是要离境英国的。那么如果我的语言课签证被认定为是Short-Term Student Visa 的话,我后续按理说是不能拿T4 student 签证,不知道这个是不是也能作为个论据?
ST 1.4. An applicant who is in the UK on the date of application must not have, or have last been granted, permission:
-
- (a) as a Visitor; or*
-
- (b) as a Short-term Student; or*
-
- (c) as a Parent of a Child Student; or*
-
- (d) as a Seasonal Worker; or*
-
- (e) as a Domestic Worker in a Private Household; or*
-
- (f) outside the Immigration Rules.*
我还对照了T4 对pre-sessional 语言课的要求,其中课程时长我语言课CAS中有说明为一周20小时full time. 只是没明确提课程是Class based, 但是给了study address是在大学校园。另外,我的语言课也是满足T4积分制70分要求。
ST 8.2. The application must be for a course which is one of the following:
1. (a) a full-time course at degree level or above that leads to an approved qualification; or
2. (b) a full-time course below degree level involving a minimum of 15 hours per week of classroom-based daytime study (08:00 to 18:00, Monday to Friday) that leads to an approved qualification; or
3. (c) a full-time course involving a minimum of 15 hours per week of classroom-based daytime study that is a pre-sessional course; or
我不知道是否可以用以上条例来上诉证明我的课程属于T4分类下的pre-sessional course, 而不是Short Term Student Visa. 因为T4 本身存在3个月以内的语言课情况。且十年永居只是不认可Short Term Student Visa并没有提到T4 分类下的pre-sessional language course的情况。可以麻烦帮我看看我是否论据充分呢?
非常感谢!确实考虑到一次3000镑签证费用,不太能够负担起第二次申请费
