Oh Pucca...Before going all the way back to Panama you should have asked your ruperiors at the UN either to write recommendation letter or even make a call to the embassy...The embassies always listen the organisations...I wish your posted your note earlier, would have gadly navigated you...
Good luck and all the best, be careful though, Brit embassies in emergent markets DO NOT like to give visas to people who already were rejected in the developed worl countries...Still suggest you get this letter from the UN about how great you are. An the embassy lady was talking rubbish, she just did not want to give a visa and was making excuses...

Banking the UN called the embassy,,,wrote a letter and my boss contacted the officer in charge who refused to take my papers himself,,and the answer was the same,,NO NO AND NO,,,,,,,dont think the UN its more powerfull than the british embassy hehe cause they tried believed me and the answer was always the same.

Im in Panama now and i applied for my uk student visa last monday,,so im just waiting for them to call me to collect my visa (hopefully)

I hope this time i get it because this visa thing has been already very stressful and i have no idea why because i have all my documents in order and i have the money so i dont why this has been so horrible to me!

Good luck, Pucca. I am more then surprised reading your post. Whatever you do make sure you get this visa because this will overrule your rejection in Vienna. Otherwise that rejection will haunt you: you will have to disclose it on any future visa and residency applications in the future in UK, EU and USA and it will significantly damage your chances as no officer would want to give you a positive answer as you were once rejected by his/her co-worker...

Good luck PUCCA. I would only add that if you miss some of the registration period it probably won't be that big of a deal. I will miss some of mine at Oxford because of what the British Embassy did to me ... nothing as bad as what they did to you, however.

For some strange reason the eligibility date on my visa was not set for a month before the commencement of studies (as it should have been) but rather on the date the program actually begins (i.e., after all the pre-sessional registration activities.) However, I talked to the staff at Oxford and they said it was no big deal, I could just register, etc. upon arrival.

The important thing is that you have the visa and that you are going to enroll in (and complete, I'm sure) your program. If you miss some of the registration activities, you can make up for this once you arrive. Stay strong!
