PSW Visa application "visa letter" question

[El_Pirate]

Hello, today I sent the application in for my Post-Study work visa from abroad, but I'm concerned about the visa letter requirement:

"an original letter from the institution at ii)
which the applicant studied towards his/her
eligible qualifcation. The letter must be an
original letter (not a copy), on the offcial
letter-headed paper of the United Kingdom
institution at which the applicant studied. It
must have been issued by an authorised
offcial and must confrm the:
applicant’s name; •
title of the qualifcation; •
start and end dates of the applicant’s
period/s of study and/or research for
this qualifcation at the United Kingdom
institution.
The original letter in support of points claimed
for other attributes is acceptable as evidence
for this attribute, providing it contains all the
required information."

and on the self assessment paper it also says: "3.2 Confirm you have sent an original letter from the academic institution as evidence that the United Kingdom institution is either a United Kingdom recognised body, listed body or holds a sponsor licence under Tier 4 of the Points Based System."


I sent my degree transcript with my application, thinking that it satisfies these requirements. It is an original document with the letterhead of the university, and on it is my start date, award date, my classes and grades, the university's name, my name, my student reference # and the HESA #.

Was it ok to send my transcript to meet the requirements listed above? I'm reading on some websites (but not on the official guidance pdf) that they also need the UKBA sponsor license number, but that isn't on my transcript. My transcript was given to me by my school, does that qualify as an "authorized official?"

The more I read, the more nervous I get!!

Does anyone know if my school transcript that I mentioned above is good enough to not get my application rejected?

This has me very concerned!

transcript is not a substitute for a letter.

transcript is not required while letter is compulsory!

Argh!

So when they refuse my application, can I just get the letter and make a new application? Messing up like I did doesn't hurt my chances of 2nd application does it? It'll be another application from out of the UK

each application is judged upon its own merits.

just make sure you mention the refusal in your new app.

good luck

Just incase anyone digs through search and finds this:

Yesterday I recieved e-mail notice saying that my visa was issued, and today I have it! Without including a visa letter from my school!

I'm not sure if I was just lucky and they were being leniant, but I didn't include the letter in my application. Transcript must've been enough, and good thing it was, I didn't want to pay a whole new application fee!!
