Interim process 延期注册的方法
每个城市警察局注册的申请流程可能会有所不同,有的学校会为国际学生统一安排注册时间,警察会亲自到学校来收集学生资料。如果你的学校没有这种服务或是你错过了,那就需要亲自到当地的警察局注册了。每个警察局的工作时间都不同,开学高峰期由于新生很多,各城市警察局的注册人数也会非常多,通常会在门口排队等待较长的时间。红领巾建议大家提早前往警局,以免在7天内无法完成注册。以往经验来看,曾有同学9月份在利物浦去了警察局五次才注册上,因为每次去的时候太晚了,警察局已经在下午早早关门。大家也提前做好准备,在国际学生多的大城市,注册警察局绝非一件轻松的事情,尤其是在伦敦生活的同学。
由于每年都会发生上述排队难的问题,伦敦的注册点2013年推出了一项Interim process的服务。你如果去了排不到队或实在不想等了,就可以问工作人员,要求使用interim process服务。即把材料递交给他们(不用交护照喔),换取一封信,信上会说明你可以在三周后再来付费与注册,那时应该可以错开高峰期,就不会发生去了5次才注册上这种悲剧(关于2016年是否继续实行这项服务我们目前没在官网上找到,不过红领巾会继续跟进相关信息的)。
注意:第二次来的时候务必要记得带这封信才行喔,千万要保管好呀,官网说没有这封信,他们是不会承认你之前做过interim process的。
信息更改
纸拿到以后并不代表你就不用再往警察局跑了,如果以下信息有改变,你还是要去亲自改的:
1. 如果你搬家了(伦敦地区更换地址不可以去Overseas Visitors Records Office更改,请在这里查询你附近的警察局)
2. 如果你换学校了
3. 如果你换工作或工作地址了(如果你持有工作签证)
4. 如果你结婚了
5. 如果你有新签证了
6. 如果你护照号变了
以上所有改变都应该在7天内改哦!如果7天内不改,他们说会罚款1500镑,还有可能会送到监狱,但一般RP好的工作人员,只是口头责备一下,再严重一点就是给你警察注册上盖个红章做为警告,但是大家还是别冒险,还是按着规定去改为好。关于续签时的地址与警察注册上不符这一事,有同学提供说并无影响,但我觉得可能跟RP有关系,又不是什么太复杂的事,最好别给以后续签留下隐患。如果彻底回国的话,不需要把注册证明交回警察局。
热门问题
1. 如果我的父母来英国看我,他们是否需要去警察局注册吗?
通常来讲不需要,持有C type签证的是不需要注册的,除非是别的种类的长期签证。
2. 如果我回国了,之后再回英国,还需要注册吗?还需要再交钱吗?
如果你换了新的签证的话,是需要重新注册的,需要准备的材料请参考上方。但是如果你的注册信上还有空位,就可以继续使用,无需再付34镑。
3. 如果我持有的签证,上面没标明要去警察局注册,我还要去吗?
不需要。举个例子来说,低于14岁的学生签证同样是Tier 4 student visa,属于长期居住签证,但由于年龄过小,通常签证页上没有要注册的要求。请务必检查自己的签证,是否有“pol reg. within 7 days”的字样。
