We strongly encourage you to complete each step as early as possible.
We have received reports of visa processing delays affecting applicants from Pakistan and Bangladesh. These updated deadlines allow for a longer period between issuing your CAS and the UKVI visa decision, giving you the best possible chance of obtaining your visa in time to join us for the start of your programme.
