Nobody here can advise you, tell you, reassure you, guarantee you or give you any information whatsoever on when you will get your visa bud! For booking tickets, you have to take the call.. If it's a very urgent situation, one option is to withdraw your your application and request for return of documents which I believe is also taking a good amount of time presently!

If you're booking a ticket, try and get one which can be changed..,!

Hi mate what is the expiry date of your PSW visa?
tier 4, as explained a number of times, leave for PSW is granted for two years from the date of decision. If it is granted from the date of application and not the date of decision, this is incorrect and should be challenged.

Greenie wrote:there is no neeed to have the money in the account for an appeal. the relevent date for maintenance funds is the date of application and whether the funds were held for 90 days before. there is no reason why funds cannot be spent now. they only reason for keeping them in the past were in event that the applicationw as refused so that a new application could be made without waiting another 90 days. now that PSW has closed this is not a possibility.
Thanks to making clear both of my concepts ..............

Hi, I have a few questions I hope you guys can help:
1.) Say if the BRP comes, and I am currently living in student hall, are the staffs allowed to help me collect the BRP on behalf of me? (Normally all of the parcel will be handed over to them)
2.) What is the procedure after we have received the BRP? Like police registration and how long we have to do it?

Many thanks in advance
