i would need to tell you a little history to get help you better answer my questions.
okay so i was studying in UK and overstayed for 24 days in 2010. i returned to my home country and applied for a visa next year. According to 320 7(B) i should have been granted a visa my my initial visa application got refused under the same section, i made an appeal and the decision was overturned (i was granted avisa), unfortunately for me by that time the university had stopped letting students join for that year, i told the uni my situation andthey issued my an extension on my studies.
Now i want to complete my last year of study and i am planning to apply this year again, i have three questions,
- first of all, i would have to declare about my overstay and also mention that the decision got overturned but would that still make my case weak or would they treat it otherwise
- Second, my financial condition have worsen over the past year, but my uncle (my father's real brother) is helping me with the finances, and he wants me to open a joint account with him rather me oppening a new account solely operated by me, what implications would that have on my visa appliction
- third, last year i applied like in the beginning of september and under normal circumstances it was normal but i should have applied earlier (keeping enough time spare to make an appeal in case my application got rejected) but i didnt and lost a whole year due to that mistake, this i dont want to make the same mistake but i am not sure how early can i apply. isnt there minimum time period between applying and start of studies, some one told me it was a month or so, is that true or i can apply 3-4 months before my start of studies and they issue me a visa starting a week or two before my studies start
regards
