Applying for a student visa

Post by oscgv » Sat Dec 02, 2006 4:43 pm

Hello, here's my current situation:
I'm an argentine living in argentina planning to study english in london for a year (and may be more)
I've found an institute which is registered in the home office's list and the british council.
I'm going to apply for a student visa next month, I'll pay for the 14 months course and when I get the letter from the institute proving I've paid I'm gonna apply for the student visa at the british embassy here in buenos aires.

I went to the home office's website and all I've found is "Present proper documentation to support your application" but it doesn't say what it is specifically.

Basically I wanna know what documentation I should present for my visa to have high chances of being approved, there are 2 people in london willing to support me (documentation and money wise) and to give me a room in their house, I don't have savings, I'm gonna support myself with whatever part time job I get and doing other stuff as well. One of this people is a lawyer, does that help in any way?
Is there any legal bound of any type between me and my sponsors?
So besides the letter from the institute saying I paid for a course and there's a vacancy waiting for me, what else should I present in order to be succesful?
Does anyone have a link where I can find all this information?

Thanks in advance!

I'm sure others will chip in with additional hints and tips, but you might find this guidance note on the UKVisas website useful as a starting point. There's also a link in the sidebar to guidance for sponsors.

Incidentally, I've just noticed you posted a similar query in another topic - I've deleted it, in case you wonder.... We don't do duplicates...

If no-one else has replied then it usually means no-one else knows the answer. Sorry. You may need to find a lawyer if the information at http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk doesn't help.
