Well...Im new to this website, but I just wanted to share with everyone that I got my resident permit (student visa) renewed. I'm a SCIMD student, and I needed extra time on my visa to finish my studies....and there seemed to be no problems.I waited 6 weeks to get my passport back, and I got my visa renewed/extended...

let me read this a couple more times.

so did you get your visa renewed? If so, whats the problem?

You waiting for someone to admit they were wrong in posting something here? Good luck. If he does, it will be the first time I've ever witnessed it ...

Someone just gave Az some bad info. End of story. Glad to know everything is okay at St. Chris and students who want to attend the school will have no trouble getting visas.

True. I'll be the first to admit that I often make mistakes. But if I do, I return and state that I did. Some people won't do that.

This is exactly what I received by email today:


can confirm that St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine is
included on the DfES Register of Education and Training Providers

The Register of Education and Training Providers (usually called the
Register) is a list of colleges including universities and private
education providers in the UK. The purpose of the Register is to help
the Home Office tackle immigration abuse in the education sector. The
Home Office will not grant anyone leave to enter or remain in the UK as
a student, or leave to study to an overseas student national, unless he
or she is intending to study at a college on the Register.

However, just because a college is on the Register this DOES NOT MEAN
THAT THERE IS ANY GUARANTEE of the quality of education available at
that college. THERE IS NO AUTOMATIC QUALITY ASSURANCE OR ACCREDITATION
OF COLLEGES ON THE REGISTER.

Kind Regards

DfES Registration Team

i didn't see an appology in there anywhere or admission of being wrong.... hmmm... stubborn i see...

just to add to your post... i don't think anyone claimed that the DfES was an indication of quality assurance... the statement you posted is plastered all over their website.. and hand book... so this is obvious information to almost everyone...

it simply showed that the school made the requirements as an educational institution to supply visas... thats it...

DfES was simply the first step in getting reviewed again by the GMC. There are a few more steps that were recommended by the GMC for SCIMD to have before approaching them again for re-evaluation. As several people know.. the UK system is particularly slow with processing things. These other steps requested by the GMC have already been at least started.. some almost completed... there is lots of processing time involved.. but i'm confident that this upcoming semester will yield alot of positive things for the school...
