大家注意了：英国04－05年度的签证统计结果已经公布，我们对此做了摘要已经上传到龙朔签证事务所的签证新闻里边，大家可以仔细看看，查看一下自己的签证类型的签证率，从去年的情况看，学生签证率下降的比较多，只有55％，而更夸张的是探亲签证，居然签证率只有30％左右！！！

DEAR superfy! 我10月24日提交的陪读签证，到今天依然没有结果，会不会几个月没有结果呢？

想问下楼主，我签证是10月31号到期的，是交给学校international office帮忙办的，可是当时他没发现我没放照片进去，我后来自己想起来的，上个星期我给home office打了个电话，那个人叫我自己把照片寄过去. 因为我下个月中旬要回国，这种情况会耽误续签的时间吗？我着急死了.如果到下月初护照都还没回来，能把机票复印件寄过去给他们看吗？谢了！

谢谢可爱的米老鼠SUPERFY，托你的吉言了，呵呵

superfy你好，辛苦了。

我的问题是这样的：我于2004年的７月中旬拿到了两年的spouse visa ，但是我当时并没有及时入境UK, 我于2004年的１１月中旬才来到了UK, 后来又前后两次回国，每次整一个月。我算了一下如果从现在起,我不再离开UK一直呆在到２００６年７月我该申请PR，以你的经验，我会不会通过呢？从拿到签证的那一天起到申请PR,我不在UK的天数是６个月零３天．

因为不明白从入境的那天算起，还是从得到签怔的那天算起．

先谢了

请教lz, 我的情况如下:
我刚读完master, 学生签证明年1月31到期,现在有个Phd的offer, ,所以需要续签.

Phd 1月初开学,但由于我的研究性质,教授准许我回国一次而且就是一月分注册之后 (1月中). 那我可以在国内续签吗? 这几个时间都集中在1月,会不会有冲突?在国内签要求和英国续有什么不同? 需要什么材料?

谢谢!!

楼主好，我是来英国读本科的，2个月前我遗失我的护照，我补办了护照，还有签证没有补办，我想问问
1。签证补办是否很难？
2。是否填写什么申请表之类的东西？
3。需要准备什么材料？
4。大概需要多少钱？
5。是否需要预约？
谢谢，期待楼主回复中

另外我想去BPP读CIMA...但他们那里没有FULLTIME的课程...只有PARTTIME的...我是学生签证...我可以申请PARTTIME的课程吗?...因为要去伦敦上课..但我住在canterbury...如果天天去fulltime的话真的很吃力...

home office是否准许读parttime...另外如果可以...对我以后续签有没有什么影响?

谢谢

superfy is really super 好人！ 建议升superfy为斑竹!

急问几个问题：

1、我要去英国做访问学者，计划明年一月出发，由于时间关系，我可以凭已收到的邀请函先签证，然后去另一个发邀请函的学校吗？

2、如不考虑专业区别（几个学校都差不多），伦敦，剑桥，普茨茅斯，这三个地方，哪里更适合中国人？

3、如果作为academic visitor 去英国一年，可以带一个１４岁的孩子一起去吗？如果不能一起去，放暑假时，孩子能去英国看母亲吗？孩子能呆多长时间？几个月？半年？（然后跟我一起回国行吗？）

先谢谢啦！

请问lz...我想去读金融专业的硕士...依你的经验...完成ACCA或CIMA以后...最好能够申请到怎样大学读硕士?...牛津剑桥LSE.IC这样的大学可以吗...差点city的cass行吗?...thanks in advance!

谢谢Superfy的答复！

Superfy,

我还有一个头疼的问题。正如我前面告诉你的，我是大学教师，准备去英国做一年的visiting scholar. 从今年五月起，据说去英国的访问学者都需要Sponsored Researchers' Work Permit．我从一开始申请，北京负责办理公派留学签证的机构就明确告诉我，只要是公派留学的访问学者，去英国一律要ＷＰ．对方几个大学也都说要申请ＷＰ，但后来有一所大学明确告诉我，我不需要ＷＰ，只需要邀请函去申请academic visitor的签证．我自己查了UKvisa的网站，发现自己也不属于Sponsored Researcher一类，因为我没有＂formal research project", 我只是去交流，进修，对自己感兴趣的课题做比较和研究．我打电话给领事馆（中国人接的电话），但他们只对签证提供帮助，称这是签证以前的材料，他们回答不了这个问题．

以下是我复制的UKvisa网上的内容，请你帮我分析分析，这明明写得请清楚楚我是不需要ＷＰ，　但为什么北京大使馆要求 中方公派出国的访问学者非得要ＷＰ呀？　先谢谢你啦！！

10.11 - Academic visitors
The Academic visitor category is a concession outside the Immigration Rules allowing academics to visit the UK for 12 months to undertake certain academic activities. An individual seeking leave under this concession must be well qualified within their own field of expertise. They should therefore be able to produce evidence that they have been working as an academic in an institution of higher education overseas, or in the field of their academic expertise (e.g. medicine), immediately prior to seeking entry clearance for entry in the category. Recent graduates, especially those who gained their degrees in the United Kingdom, would not normally qualify.

Those who qualify
Academic visitors must be either:


a person on sabbatical leave from an overseas academic institution who wishes to make use of their leave to carry out research here (to do research for a book for example); or
academics (including doctors) taking part in formal exchange arrangements with United Kingdom counterparts; or
eminent senior doctors and dentists coming to take part in research, teaching or clinical practice.




Sponsored researchers
Before 9 May 2005, the academic visitor concession included provision for the entry of sponsored researchers entering for research work at UK universities and other research institutions. However, the limited length of stay afforded by the concession proved unsuitable to meet the needs of sponsored researchers, who were entering for the purpose of taking up what were effectively research posts, and whose research work frequently lasted for a number of years. The work permit provisions had hitherto not been open to such sponsored research workers. But, in January 2004, a specific work permit provision was created allowing entry for sponsored researchers. The academic visitors concession was accordingly amended on 9 May 2005 to remove provision for the entry of sponsored researchers, who should all now be entering under the work permit system.

A sponsored researcher is any person who wishes to come to the UK to lead or to take part in any formal research project with funding from sources other than the UK host institution/employer. Formal research projects are those hosted by a UK research institution including universities, non-commercial research organisations, charitable organisations and national research councils (such as the Medical Research Council). The sponsored researcher fills a research post and works under the full or partial control of the institution, which will itself benefit from the research. Sponsored researchers can receive their sponsorship from sources in the UK or overseas.

我打咨询付费电话，北京回电话说要WP，但同时今天我受到重庆领事馆的电邮说我不需要！怪！！！ 遗憾的是我必须在北京签证。 谢谢你的答复。

请问SUPERFY兄： 我的苏格兰招贤签证至今没有消息，心里很着急，想到一个问题不知道对签证有多大影响： 我的银行账单上有同学通过网上转账汇过来的800镑，在数字旁边只标注了“transfer”的字样，账单上的最终余额是2900镑。这会不会有借钱的嫌疑？
有劳SUPERFY兄解答了。

Dear Superfy:

我想请问一下未婚妻签证适用于男女朋友之间吗? 需不需要同住在一起一段时间的证明? 它的签证有效期是多长? 急盼,谢谢您!
