Student Visa Extension

Post by oc2pus » Tue Jun 07, 2011 11:52 am

Hi Folks

This query is for my friend. I will talk as 1st person.
I need some information. I would appreciate your reply. I am a postgraduate student. My visa is going to expire soon in JUly. I still need to give two exams in august and wait for degree. I have already paid my full fee to university. There are few question i need to clearify.

1. Can I take urgent/by hand appointment for visa extension with home office if yes then how, if not then how much time before i would need to apply for extension by post.

2. How much money do i need to show in my account and for how long.

3. At the moment I am out of UK, can i come back 10 days before my visa expire.

4. How much is the fee Urgent and Normal

Your early contribution would help me to decide. Thank you.

Please read the tier 4 policy guidance as most of your questions are answered there.

If it is listed in your CAS, then you'll have to provided the original document with your application for extension.
