What was ur college/uni - a lot of dodgy ones rewarding their 'students' with refusals and 'under consideration' is considered her by some as a euphemism for that.

Which college was it?

Please bear in mind that the way Christmas has fallen this year means that lots of people have been out of the office until this Monday. There is always a delay with UKBA at Christmas time, and Easter, and autumn student rush, and summer holidays!

To Raz99,

Dear,

u applied for psw in nov 2008 for 2 years psw work visa but ur passport will expire in jan 2009. Do u think they will give u visa on expired passport. I dont understand....

U should provide them atleast 2 years validity passport to get 2 years visa. Now the option is applied a new passport. Home Office may ask u for that.

Good Luck

Monday 15th February 1971, my elephantine memory tells me! I remember it well, exciting time for us nippers, the confusion of the faces of the old biddies was edifying, like the CCL et al 'students' here...

In fact, the two p's and one p's came out slightly before - we used to go to the shop just get them in our change...

Ten Bob was also 120 old pennies...

OK, killer, ok...

I must say the atmos in the PSW forum is very hostile, as it is on the same forum on another board, and everyone in them seems very uneducated for 'students'

Any for the record my gf is the one with the visas, student and now PSW, I'm British, I don't need a visa.

Anyway, carry on squabbling...

Having a good command of written english doesn't make you 'educated'. And not everyone on this forum attends ccl, bites and the whole scam institutions. When you give advice, try not to be hostile and like the other poster asked, what are you really doing on here because I have not really seen you offer any meaningful advice?

If the 'advice' you profer here and the rude comments you make is a reflection of your educational status them am sure glad I am more educated. An educated individual doesn't make harsh comments just to portray their disgust at individuals, but they are tactical. Forums are for support and there are better ways to do that than by being cocky more than half the time!

No need to ask for your passport back, your visa will be issued cos I did have a friend who had his visa issued with the same circumstances as the one you in. Keep your fingers crossed. Good Luck.
