Caregiver with UK student Visa?

[joebloggs]

your allowed to work upto 20hrs a week on a student visa..


but the gov says that "thou In order to meet the requirement of 15 hours organised day time study per week, hours spent on a work placement (paid or unpaid) can be taken into account if they are a necessary part of the course and are undertaken with the agreement of the educational establishment concerned."

meaning that your suppose to study for 15hrs a week min, but time you spent working on your placement can count as study time.


but to me if your paid, your working, and 20+15 is 35hrs, and you've breeched your student visa, i'm sure the gov will not let people on NVQ work for 35/40hrs aweek on a student visa, and if i'm right, you could face a ban from coming back to the uk,,

so check with IND before you start doing anything..

Check all details out with the IND i have heard some horror stories which many "students" and the employers got away with but now the IND is clamping down and could possibly ban you from the UK for a long time (who knows if it is on some form of central register which oter countries may use for visa decisions?)

As well as the IND feel free to keep asking questions on here as us Brits may see something which doesn't seem right which a phill might not notice.

Good Luck
