http://www.llm-guide.com/board/7403 en UK Visas - LLM GUIDE Discussion Board Thu, 25 Aug 2005 21:16:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/7403/last#7403 But I thought the British Council website said you will not be given entry clearance unless you get your visa beforehand though....there is a big "non-settlement" visa application for int'l students to fill out on the site, and it requires all this documentation. Has anyone here gotten a student visa before going to school there? Does anyone know how long it takes to get approved? (it might have changed since Gozar above went due to the Iraq war, etc., who knows)
