Those who want to stay in the UK for this “extra year” should apply to obtain a new visa.
During the “extra year”, you could work legally without any restriction, except if you want to act as a doctor, dentist or professional sport in training period.

As for the period in which the student is enrolled in a doctorate, the same work restrictions are valid. Foreign doctoral students can only work 20 hours per week in the UK.
Under the Home Office’s new rules, foreign doctoral students must make an application at least 60 days before the end of the course. The end date to be observed is the one printed out in the CAS Letter issued to the student by the university. For those not familiar with the document, CAS Letter is nothing more than the proof that the foreign student is enrolled in an educational institution recognized by the Home Office.

London was the capital chosen by Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado to debut its newest exhibition, “Genesis”. Result of a research developed over eight years,   “Genesis” brings 200 photos in black-and-white to celebrate the power of unspoiled nature and examine the relationship between man and the fragility of our planet.

“Genesis speaks of initiations, a planet untouched in its most pristine regions of traditional lifestyles in harmony with nature. I wanted to visit places untouched and still so today. I want people to see our planet with a different look and feel touched by it, “said Salgado to the Natural History Museum in London, which hosts the exhibition.

To develop the project “Genesis”, the Brazilian photographer visited isolated regions in 32 countries, traveling on foot, by plane, by boat and canoe. The exhibition takes the audience on volcanoes in the Galapagos Islands, penguins and whales of Antarctica, and an indigenous tribe in the Amazon.

Nowadays, everyone that applies for the Indefinite Leave to Remain (IRL) or for the British citizenship have two options to comply with the Home Office requirements

1. To prove that they were approved on the test “Life in the UK”
2. To hold a certificate ESOL with citizenship (level entry 1,2,3)

Partners, husbands and wives of Europeans

Europeans and european’s partners (husbands, wives and same sex relationships) will only have to comply with the new rules when applying for the British citizenship. The current requirements will not change for any European’s partners who wish to request the IRL.

To be given permission to settle as a victim of domestic violence, you must prove that your relationship existed and it was genuine when you were last given permission to enter or remain or you were last given leave in order to access public funds while you applied for indefinite leave on the basis of domestic violence.

The victim of domestic violence who wishes to be settled in the UK has also the obligation of giving evidence of the abuse that they have been suffering. Although the Home Office does not specify which kinds of evidences are accepted as a proof of domestic violence, it is recommended that the victim denounce the abuses to the Police or discuss their problems with social workers, for instance, in counseling sections.

Benefits

While the victim is waiting for a decision regarding their Visa application, it is possible to receive public benefits for a period of 3 months. However, it is up to the government to decide whether the applicant should or should not have access to public funds.
