Guys i was recently denied a uk student visa,this made me to defer the admmision to january 2007 session,my school resumes on january 15th 2007.
now my problem is this: my propose university in uksent me a new deferment letter which after my perusal i noticed has some problems(my student reference no was not correct),this precipitated me to request for a new letter,unfortunately i am yet to received the new admmission letter and time is not virtually on my side again,though the correct letter was also sent electronically to me(scanned),
my problem is this: i dont know if the uk consular will accept the scanned copy from me,though i intend to attach the former letter of admmission(original) with this letter that was sent to me electronically, while noting that all other documents am submitting are all original copies,pls consultant in the house i need to find out if this arrangement will work
many thanks

January 15th is a bit close.
Bear in mind BHC is going on holiday soon.
Scan can never be the original but it is accepted sometimes sha!

try and get the original letter. should not take more than 7days if your proposed skool sends it via post to ur postal address <not your home address>. why did u wait for so long before rectifying all the faults. dont worry, u will meet up with the time limit , but seriously, if the skool is resuming in january, u shuld have ur visa by now or at least , submitted ur appllication. visiting visas take about two weeks, student visas, take longer, and with the xmas and new year hols, my dear, you have to be prayerful o ! if u have any more questions, do not hesitate to ask.

best of luck !

@ akolawole,funky ,many thanks becos of the time frame i have submmiited the scan copy what do you feel,will they consider the scan copy?

Pray unto it, they will consider the scanned copy.

As an insider, I can advise you that if you are re-submitting a new Student Visa application  you should make sure that there is ample time before the course starts or else the ECO at the BHC will have good reason to refuse it again . You should not use a fire brigade approach, there is nothing wrong in applying for the September 2007 session now instead of the January 2007 session. Some visa applications require commonsense instead of wsted prayers.
