Charlex23:
Congratulations, which school is this?

I haven't been in the best of moods since last night as I got a refusal mail for my Student Visa, from UKVI yesterday, Even though I have accepted my fate and trying to move on, I still feel cheated by UKVI.

I applied in December for January intake but I had to withdraw my visa application in February due to approaching Cas deadline. And now I deferred to September intake

Biometrics - 23rd June
Refusal mail- 2nd of July
Reason for refusal: incorrect bank statement calculation. So the visa officer didn't deduct my global scholarship of £3,000 from my POF, he only removed my tuition deposit and my required funds was below the minimum due to that error. I already applied for an administrative review today and l'd keep you guys updated

UPDATE:
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW APPLICATION- 3rd July
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW SUCCESS - 17th July
My application was sent back to the original case working team for reconsideration…. I waited for almost 2 months

UKVI CONTACT TO SCHOOL- 9th September
Ukvi asked if my school was still willing to sponsor me for the September intake and my university confirmed this with me

17th september, my school resumed. Still no response from ukvi. Deadline was October 16th
25th September- I submitted a pre action protocol to UKvi due to the delay and the risk of losing my place …. I gave them until 5th October to respond

29TH SEPTEMBER - Interview inviteI was told they would love to conduct an interview on October 6th. I was scared because my undergraduate degree was similar to
My master’s programme.

OCTOBER 6th: i had my interview…. With a young British lady. She was polite and didn’t interrupt me while speaking. Interview lasted more than an hour

OCTOBER 9th- VISA APPROVAL.

To everyone else waiting wishing you the best of luck
