hi guys anyone applied their uk visa on the 6th? any news so far? my flight is this friday man and im in kuantan had to wait for them to courier it to me.. i'm worried T_T'' i'm already missing out on international student orientation programme ughh

my friend applied on the 6th and till now no news too. he is going to manchester and classes start yesterday..

omg really? that sucks.. when is his flight? they're really taking their own sweet time..

i think he asked the travel agent to deal with his ticket..i dont even dare to book my ticket! afraid that i might need to throw away the ticket if the visa delays

My university regional officer told me that some people applied on the 6th and got it today. So maybe you guys can roughly gauge when you'll be getting your visa. I am currently suffering from visa envy atm I applied on the 8th and I don't think I can get it by 2morrow (which was my scheduled flight AFTER rescheduling it before) and I cant settle for Friday which I think will be the next best date because the flights are fully booked. So I moved my flight to next wednesday in which class will start by then (class starts next monday). I am just annoyed because I am afraid everyone will be able to choose their timetable by then and I will be left with shitty slots

I must ask, why is it that there are so many people applying for their visas late?
With a reasonable timeframe in mind with regards to - application, approval, issue of CAS, preparation of docs, etc. ;
I do not see how it is that so many of our LYNers should be caught in a last-minute rush.

i applied on 8th too. im worried.

oh no when did you apply? is your ticket date not changeable?

Really? Thank God!! Hope I'd receive mine ASAP then.. yeah doubt you'd receive it by tomorrow i'm afraid.. i know it's really frustrating, im worried too that i'll miss out..

well for me because i am under 18 i needed to get my accommodation address for my visa application.. and uni's accommodation service is as usual, slow.

Good question. Let me just briefly tell you my situation and then you can share my frustration with me too ok . Results came out on the 27th of August, I rushed to get the results transcript on that day itself - have to pay RM30 just to get it on the day itself or not wait 3 working days. Immediately after collecting the transcript on the day itself, I went to my regional office to ask them to forward my results to the uni so I can get my CAS ASAP. Guess what, my CAS only came on the 7th of September (the woman told me there was some server problems etc but I am also guessing there was some miscommunication as another regional staff was shocked to find out that I still did not sign a letter pertaining to me wishing to study in the uni). So yeah, then the next day came which was the 8th and that was when I applied for my visa.

oh great! 3 of us applied on the 8th!

Oh.
Meaning the results itself comes out rather late?
These results - What results are these that we're talking about in general?
A levels perhaps?

I know yours(RENEGADEZERG) is probably uni results of some sort from your previous post;
Was wondering whether the majority of last minute LYN visa applicants
are moving from A-levels to Uni or from local Uni to UK Uni.

With reference to your situation,
I can imagine how frustrated you must be feeling. Haha. Don't worry - in the grand scheme of things, doesn't really matter.
You'll still get to go over and start.
(Of course it's easy for me to say, seeing as I'm not in your shoes eh?)

Anyway,
Have you started packing yet?
If only you had a brother working in an airlines as a pilot.
One of my friends got a RM66 First-Class ticket to London.
Sweet.

Even if he had to burn the ticket due to external events(like yours), he could still get another one.
And Cheap.

Guess it's economy-class and standard fares for the rest of us folk.

i will be in london what about you?

any of you who are experiencing possible flight delays due to visa delays can contact Travelsight, a travel agency. they offer flight date changes service with very little charges, so instead of throwing your ticket away, they can help you with flight date changes like how they helped mine.

their website is travelsight.com.my or you can call their office directly, 03-21488255

I'd be in London, and you?

how much did it cost you to change your flight ticket? which airline are you using?

Reporting from klia now. Business and first class boarding now. Oh man, preparing for a very long journey.

London?
Splendid!
Haha. Guess we might unknowingly bump into each other.

Though I fancy that most Malaysians don't end up in London.
Not all, but I daresay most.
When are your flight dates?

Been contemplating which banks I would want to set up with.
I'm probably settled on Barclays - You just cannot beat the number of branches and ATMs they have in London itself.
Would very much prefer a HSBC account;
But they levy a monthly fee - We don't really need that do we?

Fun to see so many people flying before me. My ticket is on the 25th. I hope no one's on the plane and there's no queue at the custom check-point. XD

Fren who applied on the 6th got his visa today!!!

I'll just be going to one of the local business schools.
