[求助] Tier 4的五年cap问题 & 十年永居

我是2007年8月底入境,

07-09两年A-level

09-13四年大学 (sandwich course,中间一年实习),

13-14 Masters (MSc),签证明年三月底到期,但是因为进度不甚理想 希望可以延签到明年九月!

学校是打算把 13-14变成 postgraduate diploma , 14-15 MSc ,以这为理由让我延签,但学校有点推拖所以想上来问一问

有看到University of Warwick国际学生签上面解释五年Cap,其中提到:

  1. Sandwich course那中间实习一年不算在五年裡,所以现在master延签应该没问题? 3+2 ?
  2. 某些Postgraduate research degree可以是exception,MSc (Res)可延签, MSc = MSc (Res)? (我们是要做Research交论文的,但老师有提过让我回国写…)

这样看来是否可以顺利延签呢?

今年年底打算申请明年九月的phD,希望可以拿到2017十年永居,所以接下来能不能延签事关重大,希望有经验的前辈可以帮忙提供意见。

我记着学生签证好像不能连续八年吧?

谢谢,有看到华威网上写;

The eight year limit will affect students applying for Tier 4 leave after having already completed a PhD in the UK

Limit to amount of time spent in the UK

The amount of time you can study at degree level (NQFL 6 or above) on a Tier 4 visa is limited to five years.

When applying for a Tier 4 visa, the amount of time you have previously spent studying in the UK will be considered. When calculating whether or not the five year limit applies to you, all time spent studying in the UK at degree level or above, whilst on a Tier 4 visa or pre-Tier 4 visa (student visa issued prior to 31 March 2009) will be taken into account.

This does not apply to:
Architecture students
PhD students*
Students whose UG course was 4 or 5 years in duration who are now applying for a Masters course NB this does not apply if you take longer than expected to complete your course, for example to undertake re-sits.

Only time spent studying is included - the period of leave granted after the course end date is not included. However, you are advised to be cautious about time counted towards the five year limit.

*PhD students and applicants: You be exempt from the time limit while you study for your PhD. However, you will not be granted any further leave under Tier 4 once you have completed your PhD if this further grant of leave would result in you spending more than eight years in the UK as a Tier 4 (General) student.

Students whose UG course was 4 or 5 years

你的under的课程一入学就是4年课程的话就不算

不算得。如果你本科本身就是4年课程。。那你的master是重新计算的5年cap。。也就是你在level7的课程可以读5年

本科课程是4年制的,level 6,7总年限上升至6年。你的Master 如果是 MPhil 才算是Research Degree, 一般的MSc都算是Taught。
