Real case study 17 , after such a long time !!!
The applicant previously studied for a BSc in Computer Information Systems; made a
new application to extend his leave to study for BSc in Computer Networking; the “CAS” did not state that
this represented educational progression or complemented a previous course of
study at the same level as required by the Immigration regulations.
VERITAS found that Evidential
Flexibility could have been used in this case because, even if academic
progression was not being made, the fresh course could complement the previous
course of study;
After intimation, Home office then examined the case again
and told the decision was
based on a previous out–of-country visa
application having been made for a level 6 course and the current application
was also at level 6; examined the
records and found that the previous course was actually at Level 5 and
therefore the new course did constitute academic progression;
At last agreed that Evidential Flexibility should have been
used in this case and that the case would be reviewed later Applicant got visa
extended and currently enjoying student life
