Dear Sir /Madam,

I would like to apply for student visa to study in the United Kingdom based on unconditional offer from Thames Valley University. This is my second attempt to apply for student visa. Unfortunately my application in 2005 was unsuccessful but I never stop studying. I was lucky that in Pakistan BTEC HND was introduced in Faisalabad city and I got admission based on my previous BTEC-ND qualification from Edexcel foundation UK. I finished my BTEC-HND in 2008 and awarded degree from edexcel foundation UK. I am sorry to tell you that, Edexcel foundation qualifications are not recognised in Pakistan and after BTEC-ND , I had no option left other then joining BTEC-HND in a UK based college in Pakistan. This is the main reason I have applied for UK university and they recognise my BTEC qualifications and gave me admission in final year of BSC(Hons) program. I hope to get visa this time to complete my education and come back to Pakistan to work as a qualified engineer. I have attached all necessary documents in support of my application as below, 1. Self assessment form 2. VA9f form 3.

Visa letter from University

4.

Proof of maintenance funds (with affidavit from my real uncle who paid all fee and expenditure to stay in the United Kingdom during my studies)

5.

My temporary accommodation booking confirmation (after that I will find shared property near my university)

Please feel free to contact me if more information is required. Yours sincerely,

Uzaima Ziad Nagi,
