Hi, i wonder if anyone please give some good suggestion to proceed with my case.
I have received offer Letter from a university for PhD program and i paid fee as they demanded in offer. then i requested to issue me a CAS letter to start my studies. on the same time my tier 1 entrepreneur visa appeal was in progress. university made a decision that i am not look like a genuine student and my intentions are to stay in UK. On This base they refused to issue CAS letter. What Should i do because i am trying for PhD For many years. can i do any appeal against the university decision?
please its very urgent for me. thanks for reading

Your situation is quite is quite tricky and I can understand why the university has declined to offer you the CAS number. This is because Madam Theresa May had formulated very strict migration rules. Universities have been urged to be on the look out because in recent past there have been some rogue students who upon getting Tier 4 visa, would go underground and never report for classes. Universities that breach such regulations (by not monitoring their students) have had their sponsorship certificates revoked, i.e they cease to enrol international students. Having two Visa applications of different categories running simultaneously would trigger alarm bells. My take is that even if the university offers you the CAS, you're unlikely to be given the Tier 4 visa by the UKBA once they check your application history. My suggestion is that, it would have been better to see out the Tier 1 appeal process to its logical conclusion before attempting to apply for another visa category. Should you be given CAS by your university and attempt to apply for Tier 4 visa right now, while the Tier 1 appeal is pending, you will jeopardise your Tier 1 appeal process. If you succeed with your Tier 1 visa appeal, you can still enrol for PhD with that visa category. I know a number of people on Tier 1 who are doing part-time PhD studies. But you can still give it a try and engage with staff from your university, but I reckon they're on Christmas break until 4th January 2016

Hi, Thanks for replying and giving me a suggestion. what you think should i keep trying to engage university. if any other suggestion please thanks for spending the time on it

hi badnam, have you contacted an immigration solicitor about this? They have services from applications to making appeals, go for the "high level" ones, they may be able to give you advice on tier 1 etc. Here is a weblink https://www.gov.uk/find-an-immigration-adviser/search-for-an-adviser

good luck
