Hi all, Please I'd appreciate any helpful answers to my query. I found out a while ago that my univ has received my BRP and that a visa was granted to me on august 16.

Viny99,

Yes, they should always mention the GWF I assume.

No, It did not have those links

Hi could you please check if your email had UKVIXX/GWFXXXXXXX number at the top in your email or UKVIXX/XXXXXXX ? Thanks

It was UKVIXX/GWFXXXXXXX.

Viny99,

Yes, they should always mention the GWF I assume.

Not necessarily, since they have other things to check as well.

It means that the UKVI have started processing your application.
And that your CAS cannot be used for another visa application.

Hi which city vfs centre did you apply? And did you get "application received at Decision making centre" email along with other emails? Thank you

I applied from Mumbai- the northern one.
I only got one email: from UKVI saying decision made.
No other emails.

Hi everyone, here is my timeline: Priority Application Biometrics + interview: 16th August - Application forwarded to UKVI same day Decision made by UKVI email: 20th August Passport delivered by courier: 22nd August: Entry clearance granted ! :) It's amazing I got my visa so fast, even though I paid...

I begin counting since July 19 through at least August 17 , the day I will have my biometrics and interview. Do you know if its ok? No, the 28 days should end before the date of application submission. July 19th till August 2nd will be counted as 14 or 15 days which will get you a refusal. You shou...

I feel the same. If it doesn't adversely affect the application, I will choose UK education provider, since it does seem like the sensible option. Thank you for your insight.

Thank you. While my University is in Scotland, UK, I asked the same question to the International Student Advisor team at my uni. They are saying to choose 2nd option just because the University is a Higher Education Institution. I'm not sure if this is right and I'm doubting that option. So UK educ...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I have another question. In the finances section of Visa4UK form, if advance fees are paid then which is the correct option to select? 1. Yes, paid to UK education provider 2. Yes, paid to overseas Higher Education Institution I have paid advance deposits directly to the Un...

Hi,

I have an old expired passport whose details are input in the application form. Does this also have to be submitted with the current passport and other documents? There is no travel history with it.

Thanks

Hi, Both seem to be valid. I did a quick search and found that AccessUK is supposed to succeed Visa4UK. Visa4UK is supposed to be closed in the future, but is currently still running. However a recent thread on this forum has people posting about payment issues for the visa fees. I assume it is the ...

Hi, Currently I am waiting for my bank account to hold funds for 28 days. I have accepted a scholarship but it is not yet updated onto my CAS statement. Is it acceptable if an updated CAS with later date is issued to me, while I have already started holding funds for the final amount? Is there a com...
