Kindly have a look at my format and please give me a honest opnion please.. Coz I am really getting stressed coz of this.

Thanks

Hello it looks absolutely perfect to me.I have thoroughly checked whether any information is missing.All the required information are written in your letter too,but different format.I think home office shouln't refuse your visa due to the different format.

Have you checked in the UKBA website whether Home office provide any standard format which all applicants have to follow?Regards.

Wake up bro. You are not eligible for PSW. iF YOU have already applied by 31 march. then fine. if not yet, then u can't any more.
thanks.

Thanks for ur reply. YES I have posted My application before the 30th March. I was asking if my letter from college ok.... As the format and the wordings are slightly different though it means the same things that are required...That was the reason for my query...

I have withdrawn my words. i didn't notice that u have already applied.

did u send transcripts of academic records?
Letter from college u submitted looks bit unorganised. It's not mentioned there when will u be awarded certificate. And it's written there certificate from edexcell will follow. it's bit confused. It's like college will be certified by edexcell. If it's so, then no need of this sentence coz college is already in the listed bodies. Instead of that it would be better if written , when u will be awarded certificate by EDEXCELL.
nowadays psw application is refused for minor mistakes.
anywayl, don't take it serious. it's my opinion. But i have seen letter from college who got psw.

any way all the best.

Thanks phonix.... Well the college says that's their standard format. I have the letter which has academic transcripts signed by the course director but I was advised by the college to send just the above letter. Now this is driving me carzy coz it has got all the information but I just need to be sure coz I can talk to the college and send ho a different letter if required. So an expert guidance and advise will be very much appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for ur reply... Well I checked on ukba guidelines and it dosent mention academic transcripts. it says original award and if that is not issued u should have a original letter from the college. Now thats what I included. Guys can I have a expert opinion on this from the modrators and experts. Please a quick answer will be highly appreciated.... Thanks

Hi, they dont ask for transcripts, but you can always send them even now, they shouldnt refuse you because you did not submit anything extra though. Thats against their rules, and you can appeal.

Guys I just read in other thread( No PSW on PG Diploma & Certificates from 31st March 2009)

that edexcel is not valid for psw. My PGCE was done from one of the top london college which is a listed body which runs courses which are awarded by edexcel. My college said its fine and ours is the 3rd batch and batches before us had no problems in psw. Now looking at my letter what do you guys especially the seniors here think..?? Please let me know.

No Diplomas and Certificates are accepted for PSW except (PGCE teaching) if you have PGCE in teach then you can apply for PSW otherwise doesn't matter its London Business School, if you dont have a full degree then no PSW will be issued.
