I applied for a PSW visa before the 31st of october to take advantage of the transitional arrangements regarding maintenance but was refused because at the time, my results had not been published, even though i enclosed a letter from my university confirming that i had indeed completed my studies. ...

thx for your advises.. I will try to use my persuasion skill then... I live in Brighton at the moment. I think it will be easier for me to find one in brighton, as it might be a better idea if I could talk to the solicitor face to face but thx for offering your solicitor. I went visit one that was r...

My VISA has gone out (30 Sep) and I suppose I am not allow to work, I can only go appeal and wait.

I went to the bank today and I asked about the covering letter but it doesnt seems that they do such a thing at all. How should I request for one?

Please advice.

Hi ..About the appeal, did you went the hearing? and where is it?

I am planning on appealing as well. As they refused me for the 2nd time. Does it means that I need to wait for 2 months after I have sent off my appeal form? Thx

Chris

Hi, I got rejected as well because my bank statement was not an official one as they said. And my student VISA expire on the 30th Sep. Now they have given me a chance to appeal which I am allow to stay during the appeal period. And it's going to cost me quite a bit. I have it until 24th to decide. I...
