Better to wait together than be anxious alone.
Here is my timeline:
25th June- Online Application
28th June- Biometrics (Chandigarh, India)
29th June- email confirming receipt of Visa application by Sheffield Decision Making Office
And since then I have been waiting for a decision. I mailed the university to check if my CAS number had been marked as 'used'. Apparently it has been marked as used on the 10th of July.
Mailed UKVI to check my application status and waiting for a reply.
Strangely enough there was no credibility interview conducted for me by VFS. Neither have I received a phone call in all this time.
What about you guys? I guess I am applying earlier than most.
They send out a standard e-mail acknowledging receipt of application at the Sheffield DMO.IndianDhruv wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 5:58 pmMy Timeline for UKVI Tier 4

Waiting for more update on this.
Can anyone tell me the exact comments they received from Sheffield?
I just received a confirmation email that my application has been received by them. Nothing apart from this was mentioned.
Also please state your application type (Standard/Priorit).

11th July: Got a reply from UKVI to my email enquiry that a decision has already been reached.
15th July: Notification from VFS to collect my passport.
15th July: Collected passport with the visa vignette inside.
I guess UKVI isn't conducting a credibility interview now.
The wait is over for me. Hopefully others here get their visa soon.
I am planning to attend Cranfield University. How about you?vasubhatia wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 10:04 pmThey send out a standard e-mail acknowledging receipt of application at the Sheffield DMO.IndianDhruv wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 5:58 pmMy Timeline for UKVI Tier 4

The CAS is marked as used when your application has been reviewed and the Entrance Clearing Officer has come to a decision. If it is still not marked as used, it implies that your application still hasn't been considered by an ECO.IndianDhruv wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2019 8:40 pmDid you get any update from your university, regarding the CAS being used?

The rate of pound conversion is checked from oanda.com on the day you submit your online application.Rohailaslam wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 8:34 amHi i am Rohail from Pakistan.
Me and my wife applied for our visa. My wife is the main applicant for Tier 4 and i applied as a Tier 4 dependant.
Online application date: 19th July, 2019.
Biometrics and interview at Gerrys: 23rd July, 2019
Acknowledgement email that application received at decision making centre Sheffield on the same day 23rd July.
Fingers Crossed now ! Can't wait to have our decision.
Do they check the pound rate on the day of online application. Or the rate of each 28 days separately. The rate on 19th July was 198.55 according to that my funds for both of us are sufficient. Will be check all 28 days according to this rate ?
And guess what, just after an hour I posted this, I received my visa. That was quick
