Required to withdraw visa and re-apply again

[kamkz]

Hello,
I applied for a tier 4 general visa on nov 19th 2018 and had my second credibility interview on 3rd Dec 2018. Unfortunately, I received a visa refusal on 7th DEC, because the ECO thought I was not a genuine student. I then applied for an admin review on 9th Jan 2019 and received an email from the home office on 5th April 2019, in which the home office overturned my refusal. But, because the start date for the January 2019 intake had already passed and there were still 5 more months remaining until the start for the next intake, the home office was not in a position to issue me a visa. Therefore, they asked me to withdraw my visa application, and obtain a new CAS from my sponsor for the next intake as they could not keep their decision pending on this application. They also waived my visa application fee for the next application and asked me to apply for free.

I withdrew my visa application as required by the UK decision making centre. Since then I have obtained a new CAS, and have already applied for my visa. My time line is as follows:

Online application: June 26th, 2019
Biometric/Interview: July 3rd, 2019
Acknowledgement: July 4th, 2019

And now I’m waiting. I am just worried of a second refusal based on my previous history. Will my previous refusal have any impact on this application? And what are my chances of actually being granted a visa this time since the UK decision centre already accepted their mistake and were willing to issue me a visa at that time? Please someone help. Thanks.

No.

And what are my chances of actually being granted a visa this time since the UK decision centre already accepted their mistake and were willing to issue me a visa at that time?

It just depends on the specific merits of the new application. If the only problem in the previous application was the credibility, and there are no different issues with the new application, it will presumably be fine and normal.

Thank you so much for your reply. Yes the only problem with my previous application was my credibility interview, which was solved. I am just waiting now. I still have not yet received a call for the second interview.

Hey,
No nothing yet. This is actually starting to worry me because I already had my second interview in which they only asked me 3 questions. I’m supposed to be receiving my decision any day now but the home office hasn’t asked me for my IHS payment. Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do. What is your timeline?

Hey,
No need to worry the Home Office still has not emailed me yet regarding the IHS payment. But I received my visa today. Alhamdulillah. I hope that you gets yours very soon too. Thanks.

Thank you so much and no problem at all I’m happy to help. I think you should contact your university and ask them if your CAS number has been used and discuss this with them so that they can contact UKVI on your behalf.

In my second interview the ECO asked me:
1. Title of my course?
2. What specific aspects of this course attracted you to it?
3. What advantage (or advantages) does this university give you over others you have considered?

That was it. I know that this whole process is very stressful, especially with what happened before, but don’t worry. I pray that everything goes well for you and you get your visa. Do keep me updated and let me know if they email you for the IHS payment. Thanks.

Thank you for your quick response.I'll definately keep you updated.

Hi dear friend, Got my visa today Alhamdulliah.But did not got any email from UKVI yet about the IHS Payment.

Congratulations I’m sooooo happy for you. Which day can you travel from? And where are you studying? Even I still haven’t received any email for the IHS payment so I’m not sure what to do about that lol.

[Zakia-BD-92]

Many thanks. I am planning to travel next month, destination Nottingham Trent University for the course MSc Pharmacology.Which university and course you are going to attend and whats your travel plan? I am also surprised that we havent recieved any email for the IHS payment, is is possible that Home Office dismissed the amount like visa fees !! .Did you send an email to the Shaffield student team mailbox with your new GWF number ? I was instructed by UKVI to do so.

Did you send an email to the Shaffield student team mailbox with your new GWF number?

Hi could you please share Sheffield Student Team mailbox details? Also when your refusal was overturned which email addresses were used to communicate between you and UKVI.

Thanks for your help in advance.
