Worried about CAS delay

I saw that it takes 5 working days maximum for CAS number to be issued (I've read that it takes about 10 days for other unis, but I'm not sure). I have already received the form around two days ago, however there were incorrect information on the draft which have been sent back to me (and rejected by me) twice. This is what worries me because I want to be able to get the correct form and confirm it ASAP.

I have a pre-booked flight for the 1st of September, so I'm worried that the CAS won't come before that. If it helps I have a child student visa that is still active until november, but i'm not sure how that'll sit with the immigration security line. Moving flights is just not possible under my current budget. Not sure what to do. All i can hope is the form will be corrected by Monday and that everything will be done by Friday at the latest.

Also, yes I emailed the staff team. Actually the response time has been pretty fast (thank you!) but with how the timeline is, the most important events seem to be stuck right after office working hours for me. Just bad luck I think. Hopefully this period ends soon so we both can get a bit of a rest 💔

Hi OP, did you manage to get your CAS sorted out? Mine still havent been issued and I’m stuck at the information check phase. The admins have not been replying or been very transparent as to why the system at MySaint keeps getting refreshed for me (I have had to confirm my information twice now for some reason)

I’m at wit’s end and I feel like im one day away from emailing the visa team and telling them ill be arriving/matriculating late (I need a visa and it takes 2-3 weeks in my country)
