If a student defers to May, will they need to make a new visa application?

If a student has submitted a visa application on or after 21st November 2023, it may be possible to update their current CAS so that their pending visa application can be considered for the May intake.

If a student would like to defer to the May intake and have their current visa application considered for this intake, please email their details tointpgt@lincoln.ac.ukas soon as possible.

Please be aware that the option to amend a student’s current CAS only remains available if their visa application is still pending and they have not already received a decision. If they have already received a decision on their visa application this option is no longer available to them.

I have received a visa decision and do not want to defer, can I still travel to the UK?

What action does a student need to take if they do not want to defer?

If a student does not wish to defer, we would recommend they visit the government website for information about visa application refund eligibility and the process attached to this. On this website it states that, if a student withdraws their visa application before a caseworker makes a decision, they may be eligible for a refund of their IHS payment.

If students require help or advice, please encourage them to contact our International Advice Team who will be able to offer guidance on this. Their contact address isinternationaladvice@lincoln.ac.uk.

If a student does not withdraw their application before a decision on their visa application is made, they may not be eligible for a IHS refund.
