Hi,
Need an info.
I had applied for my tier 4 visa on 24th Jan 2011 and the current status is " Visa application under process at High Commission"
I had extn in my Uni only till 7th Feb, so now they have deferred my intake to Sept 2011.
I want to know if I can travel with the same visa(assuming i'll get it in next few days)? Or should I inform the high commission that my intake is deferred.
Suggestions please...

I think you need to tell the British high commission about this as you can not travel before 6 months of your course start date.
Immigration officer may refuse you entry upon arrival if you travel so much early.
wait for other members input as well

Than You need to make sure that your education provider is agree to give you new CAS in between the course and at the time of your extension.

If the original start date has already passed then the eco will contact your sponsor /you to ask when your latest start date is. As your start date is now deferred then yourapplication will be refused as the start date is more than 3 months away. You will need to apply again with a
new Cas closer to the time. Perhaps you should withdraw your application explaining the reasons

just wanted to tell you,
visa applied: 24 Jan 2011
app sent to highcommission: 24 Jan 2011
App under process at High commission: 29th Jan- till date.
Original start date:31st Jan
Extn date ended: 7th Feb
Uni deferred intake: 9th Feb.

I hadcalled VFS and they are saying that I'll still be issued a visa since it is already 3 weeks since I had applied and that I can travel with the same visa in Aug/Sept and show the new deferred letter from Uni with new start dates to the immigration in the airport while travelling

Vfs do not make the decision and can't generally be relied upon on matters like this.
In my experience your application is likely to be refused.
Where did you apply? Its usually advisable to apply further in advance than 3 weeks to avoid this problem.
