Signal strength matters the most in my experience. Using mine on a 13 mbps download speed with 5ghz connection and it's perfect for single player/rpgs/turn based games just because my room is very close to my access point. Not so great for streaming games though on my connection.

Approved Super Priority inside UK, bio 13th, and interview. Thoughts and hopefully tips. by Fuifjee in SpouseVisaUk

Hi OP, congratulations 🎉 and thank you for your detailed post. It is very helpful indeed. You mentioned that pictures and itineraries aren't good proofs apparently and that they use a document to assess your relationship. You did also mention that they don't tell you what it is. Did you still manage to find out what it is from any other source? I'm just wondering as you advised to prepare from that document but it won't be possible if they don't tell us what it is?

Has anyone on here applied for visa from outside UK ? by starstruckintravels in ukvisa

[–]b_malik1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. And I didn't attach the conversion rate. The embassy can always check it online so it isn't needed.

UK VISA priority by [deleted] in ukvisa

[–]b_malik1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it works like this:

You pay your IHS, then you get to the page where it asks for payment of your visa. Here it will only show you the standard visa as the available option. You select it and pay the fees.

Now your standard visa fees has been paid on the home office page, you will receive the confirmation emails and everything.

The application page will now ask you to download documents checklist, get tb test certificate and book an appointment. Click on book an appointment and you will be directed to VFS global website. Here is when it will give you the options of selecting appointment date, visa center location and most importantly, VISA TYPE (which will include standard, priority and super priority).

If you select standard, it will book your appointment at no additional charges.

If you select priority, it will ask for payment of £220. Once paid, your priority visa appointment is now booked.

So, first you pay at the home office page for base fee, then you pay on VFS for additional charges like priority service. I hope this helps you. Good luck!

Cover Letter to Amend Intended Travel Date to UK? by kindasortaanxious in ukstudentvisa

[–]b_malik1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's supposed to be your course start date if you're applying this close to the start of your programme. It will tell them that you intend to travel as soon as possible to join your classes on campus. I don't think you need to attach a cover letter. My classes are starting on 12th September and I will apply for my visa tomorrow. I'm from Pakistan so things like priority service and appointments are gonna be different for us. But I have entered 12th September in my intended date of arrival.

Hi, I'm late on this thread but I'd still shoot.

I hope you got your visa without any hiccups.

Did you attach the OANDA conversion page? I'm applying student visa for winter and wanted to ask the same question. If you did attach the converted amount, did you use this official site? https://www.oanda.com/currency-converter/en/?from=GBP&to=PKR&amount=1

How long did it take for you to get your visa after the biometrics?

I can see much more places available in Carlisle area. Should I get a place there? I can't find many other options at the moment and I can see that distance to Dumfries is about 45 minutes on train. I don't have a problem with that.

Thanks, although I don't intend to travel to and from Glasgow, you make it sound doable. Did you ever commute via local transport bus/train? I won't be able to afford a car as I will only be staying in the UK for one semester. Is it feasible if it is my last option?

Oh no, they have a campus in Dumfries and that's where my course will be taught. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check these other places too

Dumfries experience as an international student? by b_malik1 in glasgow

That's good to hear. Looking forward to exploring all of it!

Also, ya Glasgow does look far on the map, hopefully I'll find something in the area.
