Graduate visa questions

[Hdsgh]

Hello. I’m applying for graduate visa. I’m having some doubts with the application due to my intellectual disability.

1. For question about address, I’m currently living in a hotel as I’ve just moved to a different city and looking for accommodation. For the question about current living place, there are 3 options- own, rent and other. What shall I select? If rent, what shall I put in landlord’s name and address?

2. During last year of my studies, I applied to uni for financial support due to hardship reasons and received a bursary/grant. For the question- have you received money from financial sponsor, does the financial support from uni count towards it?

3. For question about how long i have been living in UK, if I have been living for 3 years 20 days, shall I put 3 years 1 month or 0 month?

Thank you.

I think
1. You are renting a room in a hotel.
2. Probably.
3. Just over 3 years. What are the given options?

For the question 2, it asks if you’ve received money from official financial sponsor. If I select yes, it then asks have you received consent from them to apply for graduate visa.

For question 3, it’s an empty box to enter number of years and months.

By looking at how the next question is asked, I think question 2 relates to scholarships received from funding bodies or programmes like governments, Chevening, Commonwealth, etc. where you are fully sponsored and need to meet specific requirements after completion of studies. In the case, you may need to upload a consent letter.

In your application I would respond "no". I don't think this letter is required after receiving hardship funds, but if still in doubt ask the university.

Question 3: To me it doesn't make a big difference putting 3 years or 3 years and 1 month.

In general, I have to say that you are really overthinking these questions. They are just asking generic facts about your situation. They are not trick questions, and not related to your eligibility for the Graduate visa.

1. For question about address, I’m currently living in a hotel as I’ve just moved to a different city and looking for accommodation. For the question about current living place, there are 3 options- own, rent and other. What shall I select? If rent, what shall I put in landlord’s name and address?

"Other" seems to cover it, or Rent. It doesn't matter.

2. During last year of my studies, I applied to uni for financial support due to hardship reasons and received a bursary/grant. For the question- have you received money from financial sponsor, does the financial support from uni count towards it?

Probably not, but check with the university. If they suggest you say Yes, you will need a letter from them consenting to the application. Hence they will probably suggest you say No.

3. For question about how long i have been living in UK, if I have been living for 3 years 20 days, shall I put 3 years 1 month or 0 month?

Either. It doesn't matter.

I have submitted the application. There was a question in application- Have you ever received medical treatment in the UK? When I selected yes, it asked another question- were you ever asked to pay as part of your treatment excluding the immigration health surcharge.

In next section it asked to provide details of previous medical treatment, like address, date treatment started and ended. There were options to add more. Since it wasn’t mentioned how many treatments I needed to add, I added total 3 treatments starting backwards from the most recent. I’ve actually received quite a bit of medical treatment.

After submitting the application, it asked me to upload evidence that I have paid for any treatment I have had in the UK.

I have 3 questions:
1. I have evidence of treatment payment for last 2 years but I didn’t add their details in the application. Have I messed up my application? Do I need to withdraw and make a new application?
2. How do i get evidence for treatment payment made 3 years ago?
3. My current visa expires in 4 days time. If I don’t upload evidence before then, will I become an overstayer? When submitting application, it said I have until 1 December 2022 to submit evidence. If I withdraw application and make a new one but after the current visa expiry, will I be an overstayer?

Thank you

You need to have an active application in place to enjoy the cover of section 3C and not become an overstayer. The few days to expiration of current leave does not give you much wiggle room.

Thank you

I could withdraw and start another application. But I don’t have money which is around 2k to pay for it and refund will likely take long time to be received.

Which means same thing that you will jeopardise Section 3C cover as having an active application means you have applied and paid for it.

2. How do i get evidence for treatment payment made 3 years ago?

If you no longer have a receipt for treatment you paid for, just contact the treatment provider and ask them for another one. This seems like common sense.

3. My current visa expires in 4 days time. If I don’t upload evidence before then, will I become an overstayer? When submitting application, it said I have until 1 December 2022 to submit evidence.

Clearly no. You have been given until 1 December to provide the evidence.

If I withdraw application and make a new one but after the current visa expiry, will I be an overstayer?

Yes, and by then you would not be eligible for the Graduate route anyway. One of the requirements is that your Student visa is still valid.
