Please advise me am also in the same predicament. I have just completed my msc and the university has offered me a fully funded scholarship. I am a civil servant and the government has extended my study leave. I studied my msc under the chevening scholarshipand now i can't extend my visa due to their 2 year rule. Is there a way of going around this rule, i have an undertaking with the government to return to my job upon completion of my phd. Please help and advise....
