Hello everyone,
Is there anyone here who had appointment by the end of August (28th-31st)??
My date of appointment is 30th August. I got delay email on 14th September. CAS was used on 10th September. Reading the posts in this forum is really freaking me out. My classes are starting on 25th September and I don't know how long will this whole delay thing take!!!

Me! 28th August appointment.

Almost every uni is allowing late arrival but they clearly state that missed lectures and assignments and everything is your responsibility so it is better we get visa on time

I applied on August 18th and still haven't received my visa. My classes started yesterday already and they haven't even given me any updates. I got the non straighforward email 2 weeks ago and nothing after that...

Guys! I just got my passport, with successful visa.

This was my timeline:

28 August : Biometrics Appointment
29 August : Application received at Sheffield
12 September : Expect delays email
14 September : Called UKVI Enquiry number. Was told it's under processing, and wait till 15 working days are completed.
19 September : Passport arrived email. Received with a valid visa. (16 working days from biometric, 15 days from application being received at Sheffield).

Good luck to everyone else waiting too!

2nd. I got the passport back today

Is the tracker working now?

Hey guys,

I have applied for my tier 4 visa from isb, pak. I am a returning student, going for post-graduation. Following is my timeline:

11/09/17: Online application submitted
13/09/17: Appointment (biometrics, interview), Dispatch text
14/09/17: Email- App being prepared for ECO consideration

Haven't heard anything back as yet. Course start date is 20/09/17 (tomorrow) and the last enrolment date is 06/10/17.

I am honestly expecting a second interview, as i feel i have messed up the first one a bit (just because of nerves).

a more accurate time would be by the 26th, as this would complete the 15 working days criteria.you could receive it before though. Just drop an email to both UKVI and your university mentioning the urgency of your application. it might help, although i am not sure about this.

UPDATE

I have received my passport today with vignette visa on it. I am sure that all students will receive their visas until and unless they have any BIG critical issue in their past travel history.

I am relaxed now as it took exactly 38 days to deliver me passport.

Wish you all good luck.
