hi everyone, i need a advice again regarding the student visa.

I'm in a hurry right now, My class will start on 6 January 2009.
Probably, I can pass my application for visa next week.
Do you think they will accept my application if I put in the date I you want to travel to the UK on December 29 or any date before January 6?

this is so hard. i only have small time and there are a lot of holiday in december.
