Now have approval BUT.....

[yodiyokun]

Please I need some advise.

I got my HSMP approval sometime this week.
unfortunatley i cannot go for EC immediately because my passport is presently with the deputy high commision of my country as i applied for student visa about 2 weeks ago. as i dint want to put all my eggs in one basket.

Now my dilemna is that most likely i will be called for an interview for the student visa in another 2 weeks.... should i attend or not having in mind that i will also apply for EC for hsmp almost immediately after the interview for the student visa.
I really dont know what to do??

I dont want to ruin the chances of this HSMP visa.
please i will appreciate all suggestions

thanks

Hi Yodi,

I would advise thet you withdraw your student visa application and apply for HSMP.

HSMP definately covers Student visa, so you do not need the student visa again

Take care and goodluck

How do I go about withdrawing the application.

It is not clear from your post whether your student visa application is at the UK mission. If it is then simply send a fax withdrawing application and requesting your documents back. You will likely lose your fee if as it seems processing has commenced.

Yodiyokun, You are a true nigeria, ever despirate to leave the country.
Anyway, I would advice you not to withdrawal the student visa. Go for the interview and get the visa. you can also get the HSMP visa as well and if the ECO deem it fit, the student visa may be cancelled.

I thought you don't want to put your eggs in one basket, what if you withdraw the student application and your HSMP visa is refused?
God forbid. Nothing to lose for having both visas. Many nigerians are being refused nowadays for unimaginable reasons.
