PSW Current Processing Time

[kito]

Hello,
Maintenance funds is basically a way to show that the candidate will be able to take care of his needs in the UK without using any recourse to public funds. In this case if I show a UK company offer letter, will that be of any good?? while still showing GBP2800 but for a period less than 3 nonths???
Please advise!!

Hi,

As far as i could see there isn't any regulation to use company offer letter as a waiver for maintenance or complement, when not enough funds available for PSW application.

you also mentioned that you got your certificate in august last year, from HO's point of view the date of award isn't the date you got the certificate. it's the date you were informed that you have been awarded a qualification by web, email or by a uni letter.

you can't specify the date you received the certificate as the date of award.

I am sorry if i am giving you all the bad news

[lijophilip]

Well, I finished my course in May 07. Certificate was awarded in August 07. I was in India so I received the courier from the college only in September.
Well that is not a problem. My only worry is the Funds part. I have enough funds but only problem is that it has not been there in the bank for 3 months.
I fulfill almost all the criterias. I have got a good opportunity in London. That company's only condition is that I need to get my visa myself.
Can you suggest any way out, my dear friend??
cheers

Hi anirban,

I received my PSW stamped on my passport today. I had sent a fax to HO requesting them to expedite my application with a proof of urgency last week.

I am sure yours must be on its way. Hope this information helps.

good luck to you

Hi Anirban,

I have been following this thread for a while now. I am in a similar situation. I applied for PSW (initial application) on 9th July (fee deducted on 10th, acknowledgment letter received on 17th) and still awaiting a decision from HO. Have you heard from them on your application?

Has anyone got a Post Study visa stamped on their passport from an initial or transitional application?

Thanks[/quote]

For me there is no news till date. Tomorrow will be 5 weeks over for me. There is no news from Ashini yet, I presume she is the only one who has got PSW stamped(transitional) but no confirmation.[/quote]

[anirban_paul]

Congratulations mate and Thanks for the info. Could you please reply back to my queries?

1)which date did you apply?
2)was it a transitional or a student to PSW?
3)which number did you fax the urgency letter?
4)what reason you provided for urgency and what proof?

I have to go India soon and I cant buy the ticket unless I am sure of my passport and visa.

Pls reply soon.Thanks.

Thanks! Mine was a student to PSW application made on 8th July. The reasons are personal, however I can tell you the fax number - 0208 196 3248. The number was given to me when I called the immigration enquiry bureau.

I am not sure, if it was my fax that helped or if it was actually my turn. I am only sharing all the info so it may help you.

cheers

Hi anirban_paul,

I've been following your relevant posts for a while as my situation is very similar to you.

Have you got yout passport back?

My application was 5 days later than yours (sent on 7 July and money out on 8 July). So I am quite worried if you have not yet got anything yet...

Thanks for asking but no news till date. Its a long wait for me. Lets see next week.

[gautam_p]

I have been following this post for some time now. I am sort of in a similar situation, I have applied for my PSW visa on the 18th of July. I believe you still havent got your visa, so does it presumably take around 4 weeks to process the whole thing?

An other question is that, I have committed a mistake while filling in my application form. I have applied for PSW from a student visa which qualifies under initial arrangements but by mistake I have checked the transitional arrangements box in the application form. But I still had the required maintanence funds at every point for the last 3 months and since its obvious from passport that its a student visa I am applying from, do you think this mistake of mine will affect my PSW.

Regards,
Gautam.

It is 6 weeks for my application. No news yet.

I am not sure about your application but I think you should send a letter (with your Reference Number) stating your mistake. But it is upto you, that is only my view.

[gautam_p]

Hey Anirban,

Thanks a lot for the reply and the suggestion. That certainly is helpful.

[anirban_paul]

Nothingto worry about stamping your IGS or PSW visa. its so cool to get but now takes time for someone and quick for someothers. just the basic documents will do. no requirement of showing any earning source. even if you fail youor thesis, you will get you PSW on the basis of completion of other module. if your university stands against you and visa refuse, just file appeal strightaway you will get it, but a case of my friends has taken 2months after appeal as his photo was not as specified-Asharaf, Chester

No mate, I did not send any urgent treatment. Normal processing time is 5-6 weeks for PSW now.

[british0044]

Wow - this is worrying. I have just posted my PSW (transitional arrangements) application. As far as i know, i did not see any photo requirements on the guidance notes; I sent 50 mm by 50 mm picture. Is this something to be worried about? Should I resend my passport photos i.e. send standard ones?

anyone please reply asap.

[rnari4u]

Hi Ashini,

Some people who applied for IGS(not psw) in the last week of june are getting their passport back now(this week). For example, sent on 25th june= recd 22 july and sent 27 june= recvd 24 july. So its taking complete 4 weeks for the last weeks igs cases. I believe we are the next weeks candidates and it will take complete 4 weeks for us as well to recieve the passport back. like you sent on 1st july=recv 29 july and me sent 2nd july=recv 30 july.

Thats the best theory i could come up with. Let me know if you have any other info on this. Best of luck for your application.

Thanks.

hi i got my pswp visa under transitional arrangemets

[rnari4u]

i got it yesterday............... i am happy.......long tensionof more that 1month 20 days
