This is suspiciouslyy similar to a query received last year. Either there is an assignment being set, or there are too many careless and profligate students failing to keep en eye on their responsibilities.

If this is a real situation, go and see your college office and ask for their help.

I told him to go to the college office and discuss his problem. I suspect he did not bother.

Hi Usman,

i think you can use this folowing format

To whom it may concern,

With reference to ------- (you should write the reference number of your visa application, which should be in the confirmation mail you got from the home office). Unfortunately my application for Post study work was rejected due to failure to maintain the required minimum balance in my bank account, but my appeal against the decision was successful and on 25 Jan 2010 judge decided that i should be granted Post study work visa. Since, i have not recieved my passport from home office yet, i would like to enquire about my visa status. could you kindly let me know, when i will recieve my passport. Thank you.

Yours truly,

Usman

Usman, please add the relevant important details if i have missed any, i understand that you need your passport soon, probably because your family has already fixed your marriage date and i can understand that in asian subcontinent marriage is a big ceremony with complex factors and not able to get there on your marriage date will cause tremendous heart burn to your family and your bride-to-be's family, but i dont think that home office will consider this as an emergency situation, so i think there is no point in mentioning about your marriage, just add the details that is relevant to your psw application and one last word, dont worry too much about grammatical errors or format just write the truth home office will understand.

To the moderator- most universities (i think all universities) dont guide students with PSW application, University international student advisors guide students with visa procedures only until they finish thier award, students will be given private solicitors number for any assistance after the course completion and obviously most students cant afford to pay private solicitor because most common cause for visa rejection is lack of funds and i dont find anything suspicious about Usman's request, most international students get to these forum through google and they might miss to check previous threads and its obvious that you get repeated requests from international students because they are worried about written communication with home office, they dont want thier visa application to be rejected for not following the proper british letter writing format.

keep up your good work:up:
