Goodday. This thread has been so helpful to me even though I've been a silent follower.

Here's my transcript;

Applied- 31/07/17
Interview- 01/08/17
Transferred to embassy - 01/08/17
Received by Ukvi- 02/08/17
Received at the decision making centre - 14/08/17
Decision made on ukvi tracking website - 17/08/17
Decision made (TLS)- 29/08/17
Ready for collection- 29/08/17
Delivered by courier- 05/09/17

Visa granted!

I used the standard application.

NB: I was refused a tier 4 visa twice last year as they were not convinced by the sponsorship letter I provided so I used my mum's bank account this year instead with the right supporting documents.

There was also a typo in the spelling of my mum's first name on my birth certificate but I pointed this out in the space for additional info.

I hope this would be helpful for somebody

Thanks @mimilyrics , thanks everybody!

I printed the bank statement a day before my application and the starting balance was less than what I needed though the 28days count was still fulfilled.

Ok thank you very much I have one I printed a week to my application and the balance is double of what I need and it meets with the 28days rules I think I should stick to that because the other one is within the range but it was printed a day after my application. Wish me luck everyone. Almighty God please take charge.

Before or after application doesn't matter, as long as the 28days is completed

Hello all.
This forum has been very helpful. Thank you to everyone that contributes.
Please I need help with my application.

I started the application with a travel date of September 23 as my start date was September 25. But once I realised I won't be able to make the application in time, I contacted the school and my start date was moved to October. The issue now is I have a new travel date since my start date has been changed but I noticed that I can't change the travel date unless I delete the application and start a new one.

Can anyone advice me on what to do?
Thanks

It's not a problem... You can travel up to one month before your course start date, I'm assuming it's an MSC course lasting more than 6 months

Justwise please help a brother!

I did posted how my application was refused on 29th june (reasons for my gap study and vague answer given during interview after they delayed my application for 2 months and calling on phone for 2nd interview while I was driving).
I made a strong Admin Review report and sent on 18th July to the correct email address written on my refusal letter and I blind copied my 2nd mail just to be sure the AR was sent, of which I was supposed to get an acknowledgement mail from UKVI on receiving my AR report but I didn't get any acknowledgement mail from UKVI till now. I understand that AR takes within 28 days to get a respond but mine is almost over 42 days now and yet nothing from home office. I sent them mail through the enquiry service and I was asked to send my details so they can look into the issue, which I obliged. I waited to get response but yet nothing which made me to follow up the mail by sending them constant reminder mails which they are not replying.
An agency resident in UK that helped me got a part scholarship in my intended school in UK has now asked me to fill a protocol form to follow it up which I have not because I don't want anything that will delay me from getting a refund of my tuition deposit fee I made to the school as I am looking forward making a U-turn to US school which have offered me admission for spring intake.
Note: My IHS fee have not been refunded since 29th June a decision was made.

@Justwise and other gurus that have been in this system for long, please do you think I should go ahead and fill the protocol form attached below and what do you suggest I do? because even if I choose to make a turn to US, I would like to clear my UK application decision because they treated my application with unfairness.
