Question:
Answer:
I understand how urgent and important this is for you, especially with the long visa processing times in Ghana. However, I need to clarify a few important points:
❗What I Can’t Do:
I don’t have the ability to directly fast-track visa or admission processes. These are handled by the university’s admissions office and the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) department. They follow strict legal procedures and timelines for all applicants.
✅ What You Can Do to Speed Things Up:
Here’s how you can take action to move your process forward as quickly as possible:
1. Contact the Admissions Office Immediately
- Email or call the university where you were accepted and request an urgent review of your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) if you haven’t received it yet.
- Clearly explain that visa processing in your country takes over three months, and ask if they can issue your CAS early.
2. Prepare All Visa Documents Now
Don’t wait. Start gathering everything you need for your visa application:
- Passport
- CAS number
- Proof of funds (bank statement)
- Tuberculosis test (if required)
- English proficiency certificate
- Academic transcripts and degree certificates
3. Book a Visa Appointment Early
As soon as you receive your CAS, book the earliest possible visa appointment at your local visa application center in Ghana. Some centers offer priority or super priority services (for a fee) that can speed up processing to days instead of months—check if this is available.
4. Request Support Letter (Optional)
Ask your university to write a support letter addressed to UKVI confirming the urgency of your case and your readiness to study.
5. Track and Follow Up
Once you apply, keep a close eye on your visa application. If it delays too long, you can write to the visa office with proof of your course start date and ask for an update.
Final Thought:
The key is to be proactive and communicate regularly with your university. Let them know that you’re serious and ready, and they’ll be more likely to assist you quickly.
Would you like help writing an email to your university requesting early CAS issuance?
Please, it takes over three months for a visa application to go through in Ghana. Please fast forward the application process for the admission so I can come over to study. Thank you.
