Mrs.Hope Mpiima(Uganda) said:
Thanks Dan for the response about my son's visa which expires on 2nd Sept 2009.
However iam wondering why the Chinese Embassy treated it thus since the study documents we submitted clearly indicate that registration is between 24th -27th Sept 2009!!!. We also indicated our travel date as 22nd Sept 2009!!!
What do you advise us to do now because he cant travel that early. Is it our fault that we applied for the visa early???
Please advise kindly
Jun. 11,2009 01:44
Mr.Dan replied:
How had this happended? Maybe you can re-apply for the visa.

Mrs.Hope Mpiima(Uganda) said:
My son applied for a student visa on 1st June and due to travel on 22nd Sept 2009 as my admission letter indicates that registraion starts on 24th Sept 2009.
The visa was given to me but it indicates that i should travel before 2nd Sept 2009.
This is too early for him to go and even expensive as he will cater for all his expenses until the time of registration. I tried to talk to the gentleman at the window but he told me if i have a complaint i need to pay 130,000=!!! Will this visa be valid if the boy travels after 2nd Sept 2009??? Kindly advise before it gets late.

Mr.Dan replied:
Mrs Hope,
Of course, the visa will expire after 2nd September. He must enter China before the expiring date of the visa.
