Immigration status is LESS than 12 months

Re. the status being less than 12 months, as long as the learner applies for an extension to their immigration permission, they'll be treated as if they still have it until the gov makes their final decision. 

P388 Any individual, or relevant family member, who has applied for an extension or variation of their current immigration permission in the UK is still treated as if they have that leave. Keeping this permission applies as long as the application was made before their current permission expired. Their leave continues until the Home Office make a decision on their immigration application.  

Hi Ben,

Thank you for getting back to me and thank you for the clarification: much appreciated.

Have a nice day.

Are you referring to GLA funding? The GLA have removed the 3 years residency requirement and replaced it with a rule for residency status to be valid for 12 months from the start date.

If a learners status is not valid for the 12 months they would be not be eligible.
