Visa Interview
Interview is a part of your visa application process. The visa officer will be aiming to satisfy him or herself that your study plans are genuine and workable.
Do's:
- Dress Smart for the interview. Try to dress up in a formal outfit.
- Take all the supporting documentation in a presentation folder. You should know the order of documents and in case a visa officer asks for any document then you should be quick enough to present that.
- Make sure the institution where you have applied is licensed by UK board of agency. You can see which educational institutes are licensed at http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk. If the educational institute is not licensed, you will not be able to get a student visa.
- You should be prepared to clearly state your educational goals; your major; why you chose that major; your graduate school plans etc.
- You should be clear about the cost of living and the course and your finances: Do you have enough money to complete the course? Can you prove it?
- You should be clear about your future plan in your country, after returning from UK: What are you going to do on your return?
- You should prepare answers for some of the frequently asked questions (FAQ's) by Visa Officers.
