What Was The Longest Wait You Ever Had For Your Student Visa?
« on: October 17, 2009, 02:40 PM »

HI guys i'm in a tight spot, i recently applied for a uk student visa tier 4pbs for postgraduate studies on 18th sep 2009 till now i haven't received my passport back it should be well over 15 days now, though it was stated i should come back in 10 days. (Bear in mind thier were 3 public holidays sallah and independence day within that period which was really annoying!)

My schools the University of Bedfordshire and their  latest registration date is on the 20th of oct 2009

i've emailed and visited the BHC and laid my complaint but was told my visa was still undergoing processing and would be returned when done.

some guys said they had problems with their sever and they had a massive backlog to clear cuz of the holiday period, but that's crap to me!

GUys, i can honestly say i'm loosing my mind i'm so confused right now

what do i do?

cuz the way this thing is goin if i get this thing on monday i'm thinking of taking a night flight to UK to arrive on the 20th on Tue. (Sounds crazy right?)

The annoying thing is that there's no one to ask to give the answers i need and i'm sure the BHC could care less  infact i'm going nut's what do you suggest?

should i ask the school to extend the reg. date?
should i bang down the doors of the embassy till they let me in?

Bear in mind i've also been to the UK 3times before for visits and my last visa was a two yr premium visa, and i have not been in any trouble what so ever all the times i went,  this is why i'm ticked of at the whole thing.

So please guys i just want your advice

And plus if any of you guys have had similar experiences you would like to share or know some one who has.

It took about 12 working days when I applied, but I was refused. So, I did an administrative review because I was wrongfully judge by the ECO. I submitted my document for review on the 18th of last month and I have been waiting on it since then. But I got a call from the embassy today that I should come over to the embassy with my passport and need visa letter from my school for my visa. Help me praise God ooo!
