Student Visa Extension

Post by shakeela » Wed Sep 21, 2011 10:18 pm

Hi all, i need to get my student visa extended. I have paid the fee and obtain the letter from university. I have the sufficient funds in my account for my living expenses however the funds will be in the account for 17/18 days when I apply for visa extension. All I want to know is how strict UKBA is on 28days fund rule? My university keep saying I should go back and apply from there. My visa will run out end of this month so I really don’t have time to wait, my course have started. :oops:

Very strict - on all aspects of prescribed requirements.

Reading the policy guidance should help.
