Hi everyone,

So I am a first year student currently partially enrolled at university still waiting for my student finance to be fully enrolled on my physics Bsc course.

Just one thing in my way at the minute; you guessed it; the UKBA as usual . Student finance refuse to process my application unless they receive an original immigration status document and Id; passport, TD, etc.
My university will begin cutting strings for those who haven't paid their tuitions as of 28th of November 2013.

Below is my CTD processing status:

Date application received by ukba (sign for delivery); 03/06/2013
Date funds deducted from account; 05/06/2013
acknowledgment later dated; 05/06/2013
Date request for prioritization due to student finance was faxed; 29/08/2013
respond letter from Ukba was dated which they sent a certified copy of my immigration letter :30/08/2013
date I requested prioritization again as student finance declined copy; 18/10/2013
Date responded by ukba with refusal; 20/10/2013
got my solicitor to write them letter received by them (recorded delivery); 06/11/2013
biometric card enrolment letter recived today from ukba dated; 17/11/2013
Enroled at post office today; 20/11/2013
CDT; Still freeeeking waiting;

so much for my hard work getting my A levels and getting into uni despite my struggles, don’t even care about travelling just want improve my qualification so I don’t have to be a cleaner all my life.

Hello, yesterday I have received reply from local MP which is I would like to share with you.
Thank you for your e-mail to Paul.



The Home Office are currently processing TD applications that were made in April so it is likely to be a few more weeks before your children’s applications are considered.



The Home Office will only expedite applications in the most exceptional, compassionate and compelling circumstances where there is an urgent need to travel and where there are documents to support any such claim.



Please let me know if we can be of any further assistance.



Yours sincerely



Jason Read, Senior Caseworker

Office of Paul MP, Member of Parliament

Hi guys,
I'm seeking advise for a mate who has just been granted leave to remain as refugee. He received his BRP today. My questions are:

1. Can he travel to EU member countries with the BRP, without a national passport?

2. How does he go about applying for a CTD? he called a number supplied in the letter sent to him by the HO confirming his status, but couldn't get through to anyone, and had no success in making any sense of what next to do.

3. What documents doe he have to submit to make the application?

cheers, guys..looking forward to hearing from anyone.

cheers.
