Asmi, why didn't you appeal against your psw refusal. You had a valid argument as your college was still on register when you studied there even when you applied but in current situation you have no other option except waiting. If you phone them, they will say the same thing all the times and you will be wasting your money as well on phone calls. They take around 14 weeks after the date of biometrics so just wait. I waited for more than 8 months and got my passports yesterday. Now your concern that your passport is expired, you don't need to worry as when you submitted the application, your passport was valid and they are supposed to endorse in that passport. My wife's passport expired in april when it was with home office but they have endorsed the visa in that.asmi10 wrote:Can any body guide me with a solution....................plz im very nervous now...........i really need help
They are not making it complicated. Its very busy these days due to backlog. You dont worry, just wait and concentrate on your studies.asmi10 wrote:I didnt appeal solely because my friends who had applied before me for psw,got rejected as well on the same grounds and when they appealed in jan in got rejected .......So it was confirmed that HO dindt want them to stay here.I am still studying for MBA dergree through a very reputed college and wil finish my degree with results in jan 2010.so i was hopeful that ho will allow me to extend my student visa. as i just have few months left to complete.now the HO has made my case really complicated...
