Dear Ahmed,
You can come to study in the UK as long as you meet the entry clearance requirements of Tier4 of the Points Based System prevalent in UK. Apart from the other requirements, Pursuant to the new rules applicable from 21 April 2011 a student would need to meet the English Language requirement. It is at Level B2 (IELTS Band 5) in each component (speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing)for those who want to study the course at level 6 (undergraduate) or above. Level B1 is the appropriate level for lower courses including the pathways.
Those from overseas who want to study outside the universities (like in colleges)would need to show a test certificate from an independent test provider to prove that they have attained that level.

Dear Neil,
Relying on a very short information in your query about your visa extension, I may say that your visa is extend-able and discretionary powers of the Secretary of State can be asked in your matter. However, following information is very important for complete advice:
Your full Immigration History
Your family History
Job opportunities in UK or back-home
Therefore i will suggest you to contact Shehzad Law Chambers and get an appointment.
Hope this info will reward you

Hello,
The information you provided is quite helfpful. I want some of your help/advice in my case. Brief Info; I am an overstayer here in Uk for more than 4 years came in london on a visit visa. I have been working on cash basis so no employment record exists. Now I want to marry to a Pakistani Student who does have a valid visa by the mid of next year. We both want to marrying against our families. I dont have my parents as they passed away some years ago. some about 1-2 years back I tried to apply for assylum but could not proceed that. Now I need your guidance how we can change our status suggest me some suitable, reliable and fast process. Also have a look what I think could be possible.
1. What if we have a baby? 2. What if both apply for Assylum? 3. What if only I apply for Assylum?
or what would you suggest.
Thanks.

Dear Rachel,
You or your partner can only make a claim for asylum where you have a valid claim, otherwise there is no point in making such an application.
In order for the Home Office to accept a claim for asylum there must be no doubt that yourself or your spouse have a real fear of persecution or death in your countries of origin.
It appears that there would be no impact to your case whether you have a child or not because your partner does not have settled status in the UK and you are an overstayer. You could possible return to your home country and apply to return as your partner's or spouse's dependant . However, since you have overstayed you would have to wait until the 1 year ban had passed before you could make such an application to return to the UK.
Alternatively you could make an application for discretionary leave. This application is decided on the basis that the Applicant evidently has compelling and compassionate circumstance in their case as well as an established private and family life in the UK.
For a detailed advice please contact Shehzad Law Chambers.
Thanks

Hello Ms. Henna,
Thank you for your query at Shehzad Law Chambers Forum.
My name is Asifa Saleem and I am registered with the OISC to provide initial advice in the immigration matters.
Henna before I give a comprehensive advice I need to know some more information.
you have stated that you are jobless. Is there any reason for it?
Are you on public funds?
Is your husband employed?
Although he is a student but on what level? Level 7 students are allowed 20 hours per week. So is he working somewhere? If you are not taking any public funds then it is easy for you to sponsor him. You can give the declaration that you will not resort to the public funds.
According to paragraph 284 part 8 of the Immigration Rules, your husband can apply for leave to remain as a spouse of settled person and change his category to the permanent residence.
The relevant form is FLR(M). Your husband will be granted 2 years leave to remain initially.
• Your husband must prove to the UKBA: • Evidence of marriage (marriage certificate). • You and your husband have met • He must prove that he is married to a person who is settled in the United Kingdom • He has not remained in the UK in breach of immigration law • No deportation orders were passed against him before marriage • You and your husband have adequate accommodation (without recourse to public funds) • Can maintain yourself without recourse to public funds. • Evidence of English Language Ability.
For further information and advice you can contact Mr. Shehzad Sajid who practices at Specialist Level.
Hope the information will be helpful for you so far.
Regard, Asifa

Next set of changes to student visa rules is announced
13 June 2011 The next set of changes to the Immigration Rules affecting Tier 4 - the student tier - of the points-based system has been laid in Parliament today. The changes will come into effect on 4 July 2011. The Home Secretary announced changes to the Immigration Rules in a statement to Parliament on 22 March, following a major public consultation on reforming Tier 4. The first set of changes came into effect on 21 April. The aim of the revised Immigration Rules is to deliver a strong migration system which tackles immigration abuse, while allowing genuine students to study at genuine colleges. From 4 July we will: restrict work entitlements to migrants studying at higher educational institutions (HEIs) and publicly funded further education colleges only; restrict the sponsorship of dependants to those studying at postgraduate level at HEIs on courses lasting at least 12 months, and government-sponsored students on courses lasting at least 6 months; require education providers to vouch that a new course represents genuine academic progression; ensure that maintenance funds are genuinely available to the applicant, by introducing a declaration on the visa application form; commit to publish a list of financial institutions that we consider, on the basis of experience, do not verify financial statements to our satisfaction in more than 50 per cent of a sample of cases; introduce a streamlined application process for low-risk nationals applying to attend courses with Highly Trusted Sponsors; extend the list of courses for which students must receive ATAS clearance; restrict the ability to deliver accountancy courses accredited by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) to those sponsors accorded platinum or gold status by ACCA; and clarify the position of overseas universities with campuses in the UK. These changes were announced by Immigration Minister Damian Green in a written ministerial statement this morning. You can download this statement, and the statement of changes to the Immigration Rules (HC 1148) from the right side of this page. A revised version of our policy guidance document for Tier 4 migrants, and a statement of intent summarising the new student visa policy, can also be downloaded from the right side of this page. You can find our revised guidance for Tier 4 sponsors in the Sponsor guidance section. We have published an impact assessment for these changes in our Policy and law section. We are also announcing today that the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) and the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) will extend their activities to cover privately funded providers, in line with our commitment that all privately funded sponsors would be inspected or reviewed by one of the publicly recognised bodies by the end of 2012. There are also a small number of changes being made to bring into effect: a new provision for other family members of refugees and beneficiaries of humanitarian protection; a minor correction to the Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) provisions and clarify a requirement of the Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) and Tier 1 (Investor) Rules; and a small number of minor corrections and technical changes to the Rules relating to English language requirements for partners and spouses.
