Fly off preparations

Dear MP's,

I know that most of you are anxiously waiting for news about CAS letter but sorry that I still haven't get any reply from AAD. Withouht the CAS letter we cannot start application for VISA. Here are some of the things which we can do meanwhile.

1. Download the VISA application forms and Appendix 8 self-assessment form. Here are the link extended from the vfs website:
http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply/vafs
select the VAF9 PBS and Appendix 8

2. For the letter of Good Conduct, I've sent you guys the application form. Please check your mailbox.

3. For those who haven't take the VISA photos, remember that the background should be white and the approximate size should be 45mm X 35 mm

4. Prepare some of the passport size photos as they are needed for the Student Card, 2 photos are needed to be submitted to Mr Hira, please write your name and student ID behind the photos and I'll collect it when we need to settle the VISA application (which is more important). The letter of good conduct requires passport size photo too. So it's better if you prepare more just in case.

5. Read through the MSL's Study Abroad Travel Insurance's brochure for those who wants to apply for it.

6. I've sent you guys the list of things needed to bring to UK to your mailbox. Check it.

That's all for now. Sorry for the late updates and any inconveniences caused.

Results Releasing Time

Dear MP's,

Sorry for the late update for those who didn't/couldn't go to IMU and were waiting for the results. Results would definitely not be out today as Uni of Strathclyde hasn't reply IMU till now.

According to Prof Kang, we aren't guarantee to get our result even on Monday as it all depends on Strathclyde there for the validation of our results. IMU can only release once they've confirmed the validation but no news from Strathclyde till 6 something just now.=S

Please tell your friends. Thanks.

Results Releasing Time

Dear MP's,

Important notices!!!results would definitely not be released by 4pm as IMU is still waiting for the confirmation from Strathclyde!!!and AAD will call Strathclyde at 5pm. Everything is not sure yet.They don't know when exactly the results can be released until they confirm with strathclyde.
PLEASE SPREAD THE NEWS!I will be informed once the results is out. AAD advises not to go IMU first!!!!Just got their call. Sorry for those already there or on their way there.

Answers for Queries

Dear MP's,

Hi guys,just some updates here to clarify things which have been queried by some of you. I've asked Mr Hira about the following issues:

1. We will only need to pay the FULL AMOUNT of AIR FARES by APRIL as he said that we have to see whether any policies change. For those who haven't know about the options of the air flight please ask your friends in order to decide which way you would prefer to come back Malaysia.

2. We will only start settle things after we get our EOS results and CAS letter. Those things include VISA fees, air fares, insurance forms and photos.

3. The passport size photos (2 copies) which are for the student card (not for the VISA) are not needed that urgently. We can settle that after EOS result or CAS letter. The photos for the student card need not be in white background. For those who have prepared, please write your name behind the photos.

4. The most important thing for now is to ensure that you have prepared the Amount of money needed in your bank account.

5. I noticed that some of you guys do not have the checklist which we've got during our 1st briefing with Mr Hira. My suggestion is to refer your friends who have so that you would not miss out those things mentioned in the checklist.

6. For now what we need to prepare is to download the forms from the vfs website (I've stated the link in previous post) and fill it up. Just like other things, these forms are required only after we get our CAS letter.

That's all for now.=)
