Approval letter sent to me seems to be sent out wrongly as it mentions Post Study Work and the template is of PSW too. Been advised by a HO rep. over the phone to Fax my case worker and inform them before the BRP gets printed.

BRP Received has the correct visa type on it.

Have now received the correct approval letter too from the case worker.
