Hi my name is XXXXX XXXXX X'X happy to help with your question today.Has your visa expired?
no, my visa will expire at the beginning of next January, Jan 2013, thank you!
I'm confused by your question?What exactly do you wish to know?
my university tell me there is some change to my study schedule or plan, the course will end earlier than planned or scheduled, and our international student visa advisor said, this might change my visa status, the visa might will be curtailed earlier than it originally be. In another word the current visa will be no more valid due to the study plan changed. but how can i find out my visa status changed? my university's international student visa advisor office didn't inform me that my visa status changed or not? ukba didn't inform me, maybe they don't know my new address? so my question is how to know the current visa's actual status? if my visa is curtailed without informed me, i became an overstayer, what will happen when i go to the airport to go back my home country with overstaying more than 2 or 3 months? will the UKBA officer check my visa status at the airport and take my passport when they find that i overstayed for 2 or 3 months? is there punishment? fine charge or even more severe consequences? thank you!
Hello,The only way to find out your visa status is to get in touch with the UKBA.If you overstay your visa, you may be banned from coming back to the UK in the future and get detained if caught before you reach the airport.There are no financial penalties.Hope this helps. Please leave feedback
dear expert, what is 'detained' like? i have bought my flight ticket, if they detained me, then what about my ticket? and my baggages? thanks!
Detained is like being jailed, but if you have tickets, you may be lucky and be allowed to leave the UK voluntarily.All the best. Please leave feedback
how long will that be? if detained? every overstayer will be detained or just banned to come back to uk for a while?
You may be detained if caught, it does not mean every overstayer is detained and you may be banned from coming back.Please leave feedback as your questions have been answered
you mean not every one will be caught? and if detained, how long will that be? i have flights tickets to leave here? thank you !
Yes, not everyone is caught, you are caught if you are unlucky!It depends, I cannot say how long but having flight tickets is good. I cannot answer anymore questions, please leave feedback

thank you expert, though i am still not very clear what will happen at the airport, because as if you are not very clear too....
At the airport, you will not be detained if caught, you will simply be handed with a notice stating you overstayed and banning you.
Yes, not everyone is caught, you are caught if you are unlucky!It depends, I cannot say how long but having flight tickets is good.
You may be detained if caught, it does not mean every overstayer is detained and you may be banned from coming back.
but these are your above answers?
The UK does not have routine exit checks at airports.That means they may have exit checks when you are departing, or they may not.If no checks, you are not caught, if checks, you are caught.If caught before you get to airport, you MAY be detained.If caught at airport, you will be allowed to exit, no detention.Hope this clarifies.
really? thank u expert, i have flight on 14 August, because i worried the visa will be curtailed, so i leave earlier, not stay longer, you mean i will not be detained at airport, even if my visa is not valid any more on that day? thank you!
