ช่วยด้วยค่ะ เรื่อง UK STUDENT VISA TIER 4 REFUSAL

แนะนำว่าติดต่อ student service centre ของมหาวิทยาลัยเค้าจะมีคำแนะนำดีๆกว่าในเวป กรณีนี้ต้อง apply visa มาจากไทยเพราะ overstay visa มาเกินหนึ่งเดือนหลัง visa expired ซึ่งจะไม่สามารถดำเนินการในอังกฤษได้อีก คิดว่าถ้าเพื่อนคาดจะจบปลายปีตอนนี้คงจะ submitted thesisแล้ว และเหลือแค่รอสอบ viva ส่วนตัวคิดว่าจะอยู่ในอังกฤษหรือไม่ตอนนี้ไม่มีปัญหา ค่อยบินกลับมาสอบก็ได้

thank you ka k.คนเดินดิน

She did try to spoke to the university student advisor, however they simply said they couldn't do anything :(

เนื่องจากวีซ่าได้ expire ไปตั้งแต่ June แล้ว irrelevant, disregard this date.
ตอนนี้จดหมายของ Home office ที่ได้รับวันที้่ 23 Oct นั้น แจ้งให้เพื่อนออกจาก uk โดยทันที และให้ติดต่อ travel arrangement ภายในวันที่ 5 Nov.

1. It is the date the final decision has been made that counts. That is 23 October

So, 28 days counting from 23 October, and not from the end of that visa.

2. No appeal is allowed, so it will be pointless to engage a help from a solicitor to apply for a new visa in the UK. You will not be allowed to do so, anyway.
The rule about this is quite clear. You can only apply for a new visa back home.

The university is at fault, for not providing that crucial information on the study progress. You and the university will have to sort that out. Once that problem is sorted out, you should have no problem getting another visa from the UK embassy in Thailand.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Dear K. Genf

Thanks very much for your comment ka. I just found information regarding the overstaying. from http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/guidance/ecg/rfl/rfl5/


'Overstaying' means the applicant has overstayed their leave to enter / remain, not just stayed longer than they said they would. The rule requires that the applicant has overstayed for more than 90 days (or for any period if, after overstaying, he went home at public expense including AVR or similar programme).

'Overstayed' or 'Overstaying' means the applicant has stayed in the UK beyond the latest of:

(i) the time limit attached to the last period of leave granted, or
(ii) beyond the period that his leave was extended under sections 3C or 3D of the Immigration Act 1971, or
(iii) the date that an applicant receives the notice of invalidity declaring that an application for leave to remain is not a valid application, provided the application was submitted before the time limit attached to the last period of leave expired.

According to the above statement, my friend falls into the (iii) category as the second time she made her application her visa has already expired. So this means she now overstaying?

ลองติดต่อกับ OEA-UK ดูไหมครับ ขอคำปรึกษาดู เค้าน่าจะมีคำแนะนำให้บ้าง

ทำไมพาสปอร์ตถึงถูกยึดไว้ที่ Home office แล้วจะขึ้นเครื่องบินเดินทางกลับประเทศไทยได้อย่างไรโดยไม่ใช้พาสปอร์ตครับ

Be back later.

เพื่อนได้ทำการยื่นใบสมัครใหม่วันที่ 21 July และได้รับจดหมายตอบกลับในวันที่ 23 Oct ว่าวีซ่าถูกปฎิเสธเพราะ In CAS your tier 4 sponsor did not show that you have made study progress และเพื่อนไม่มีสิทธิ์ appeal เนื่องจากวีซ่าได้ expire ไปตั้งแต่ June แล้ว

Above refusal was on the study progress (that was the final decision from the Home Office)

My previous answer still stands, the final decision came out on 23 October.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is my immigration status while my application is being decided?

If you make an application before your authorised stay ends, your existing immigration status will continue until your application is decided, even if the decision is not made until after the end of your permitted stay. You can continue to work until your case is decided if the conditions of your existing leave allows you to do so.


"และเพื่อนไม่มีสิทธิ์ appeal เนื่องจากวีซ่าได้ expire ไปตั้งแต่ June แล้ว"

Ask yourself, what is the reason for your so-called overstaying the visa?

That is because you were in the process of applying for a visa extension. This is a legitimate excuse, and the UK embassy will understand the whole situation. Make sure to submit all the letters from the Home Office regarding the visa extension application.


(iii) the date that an applicant receives " the notice of invalidity declaring that an application for leave to remain is not a valid application", provided the application was submitted before the time limit attached to the last period of leave expired.

Notice the wording "the notice of invalidity declaring that an application for leave to remain is not a valid application"

Did the final letter on 23 October have that wording written on?
Was the application considered by the Home Office an invalid application?
If not, the rule (iii) 'overstaying' does not apply.

If it were me, I wouldn't worry about a thing.

Thank you all for your comment na ka.

We have found some information about this:

And now my friend is seeking a legal advice. Thanks again ka.

What can I say?

Best of luck if you think that would get somewhere.

I still think that the safest and quickest thing for your friend to do is to go back home to apply for a new entry clearance.

To me it seems unlikely that the Home Office would allow your friend to submit a fresh new application after two refusals (due to your own faults) and a demand to leave the country.

You would just be prolonging the inevitable, not to mention wasting time and money.

You do not mess about with the big boys.

Good luck.
