Now for my anxiety...Nothing says pure terror like the thought of applying for a student visa. I mean the kind of terror that gives you anxiety, sleepless nights, and a penchant for drinking tons of wine. I'm MONTHS out from attending graduate school but I'm already hitting a snag in my stride.
Not sure if any of you are familiar with the visa process but you can only apply no more than 3 months out and should leave at least 6 weeks before you fly out. I am in the UK from June 21-Aug 16...I need to begin class in Stratford Upon Avon Sept. 29..I obviously need to fly in before that date to get settled into my flat or housing situation. That leaves less than 6 weeks, in case you guys have trouble with math ;) I DO!! I know things work out in the end but I'm stressed about it. I was hoping to have my biometrics appointment done before I left in june but that is just not possible. That's fingerprinting and pictures done via an immigration office. I suppose I owe the British Consulate a call on Monday to try and get some peace of mind. Doubtful...maybe I need to start seeing this glass half full instead of empty! Also I maybe need to formally accept my acceptance offer....send them my transcript from Rollins....and in turn get my CAS (needed for Visa). Someone get me a xanax....
PS pics of the school and stratford to come...or ya know...just google it ;)
Cheers!!!
