Tiempo, who is your loan lender? I'm using Sallie Mae and I just called them and asked them to send me a letter stating the approval of my loan and how much it is and stuck that with my visa app...
I think the clothing is required for that first class on Tuesday actually. I'm just going to go to Hewat's when I first get there and buy everything.
I also had a pre-vet school nightmare. I dreamed that I was in anatomy lab and I got stuck with the worst lab partner and got last pick on the specimens!
I'm actually using Sallie Mae as well. I called three weeks ago for a loan letter (as soon as I had my visa letter from the school), and still do not have one. Apparently, telling the first person I spoke to that I needed a hard copy of the letter on original letterhead mailed to me was not sufficient, as I received an email with the letter last week. So I called again and told them I needed a hard copy (not an email!) with x, y, and z in the letter (reading from the information I have from the UK Border Agency) as soon as possible. They admitted they screwed up with the first letter, but were still telling me it would take 7-10 business days for me to get the new letter, and refused to send it via any expedited service. That was last Wednesday. They sent me a copy of the letter that they said they were putting in the mail that day, and it was missing required information (as per UK border agency). Called again Thursday. Explained this to the nice people. They emailed me a copy of supposedly the third letter they were sending. It was the exact same letter they sent me the day before, down to the same date, missing the same information. Called again Friday. Asked them to please just mail me a hard copy of the original letter they emailed on Tuesday, just please print it on letterhead and put it in the mail.
My biometrics appointment was last week. The entire application is supposed to be submitted within two weeks of the biometrics appointment. I STILL (3 weeks after requesting it) do not have a hard copy of the loan letter.
Really, IMO, if you are going to admit you screwed up by emailing the first letter when it should have been snail-mailed, and you took 10 business days before you ever actually got around to sending this email so it was 10 business days before I ever knew there was a problem (while I was anxiously checking my mailbox every day), then the least you can do is maybe try to get it right the second, third, or fourth time and send it by priority mail or overnight the thing.
I was told today by Sallie Mae that they were told by UK officials that versions 2 and 3 should be sufficient for a visa to be granted, and that it does not need all the information I was told it does. Great. Love to give it a try. Will do that just as soon as I get a copy in the mail.
hopeful, this won't do you much good now, but if anyone is still dealing with visa issues and is near New York, Chicago, or LA, they are doing in-person appointments for Tier 4 student apps this summer only. I think I'm going to go to L.A. to try to get this done. Haven't looked at the other hours, but L.A. is doing one hour a day, two days a week, and you apparently must have a confirmed printout of your appointment to be admitted to the consulate office (and have everything else completed ahead of time, including biometrics). They're supposed to have a pretty quick turn-around with these in-person appointments, which is the reason I'm considering going. I'd rather know quickly that I don't have the right documents, and maybe still have time to get it sorted.
The bad dreams are great - now I get to stress in my sleep as well!
I really don't know what to do!
