From UK student visa to Work Visa or more?


Hi. I am studying in London at the moment and I am graduating next June. I am originally from Taiwan and have been here on a student visa. I have recently found out that my school is not eligible for the International Graduate Scheme even though they told me before they were, now they say no. My school is a private institution (Istituto Marangoni), its headquarter school is in Milan but now has a branch in London. I need to stay in UK after studying to work and it is very upsetting to find out I cannot apply to the Graduate Visa Scheme. Can someone please tell me if there is another way? My school also told me that I will be receiving a 'BA' like degree which I just now found out it's a diploma that's 'equivalent' to a BA but I don't think it's going to help me when I apply to the Home Office. Can someone please tell me if I have any options or is there absolutely no possibility for me to stay here and work after school? Any help would be really appreciated!

a little more detail: I am currently doing an internship with Liberty of London, would that help when I apply for my visa?

In response to the first answer, what kind of visa were you referring to? Or does that apply to any visa?

I am very confused about the whole visa process in general: Is it the employer that applies for me and they pick up the cost or do I apply for it, using employer as reference and I pick up the cost?

Thank you so much, I know it's a lot..I've also emailed Home Office but they haven't gotten back to me..so I thought I'd try it here...

hi dear.. go on this web address http://ukvisa.com/, it is very helpfull in your case..

Just make sure you give 2 reliable references when applying for your visa. UK immigration will usually contact both of them to make sure you are who you are... If everything is ok then I don't see there being any problems...

I would suggest, if you visit

http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/

and try to check if you can convert your student visa into work. Usually, now its not possible to exchange your student visa into (permit based) work visa. But it is still possible for Graduate scheme of course. There used to be another scheme called TWES for students finishing degree level education in UK, you may need to check about that as well.

Good luck.
