Once you got your visa, dont forget to undergo a seminar with CFO to get a CFO sticker. And once you arrived in the UK, dont forget to claim your real visa/residency card permit within 10 days upon arrival. God Bless to all the applicants and don't forget to pray!
That's very kind and helpful of you to post, for those going down the same road. Many thanks... and good luck to you.
