UK is the favorite destination for students from all around the world; with students from various nationalities coming into the UK the law is very stringent in ensuring that no one adapts any sort of discriminatory activities.

Proper and genuine documentation

One week to 15 days.

Normally no. But in case if there is a need for clarification or missing documents, visa interview may be called for.

As proficiency in English is one aspect that affects the outcome of the visa application, IELTS sometimes does have a bearing on the visa prospects of the student. In the absence of an IELTS score the visa officer would base his conclusions regarding your English proficiency on the limited conversation he engages you in and also on your SSLC and HSLC English scores. As these could sometimes portray a picture different from the real one it is strongly advisable for the student to have an IELTS score at least from the visa perspective.

If you are unable to submit the score card at the time of application, you would be offered a Conditional Offer of satisfactorily completing the IELTS / TOEFL requirement.

The UK student visa is commonly termed as a student friendly visa. The major criteria for the issuance of Student Visa are:

• Financial credibility of the student or his sponsor in supporting UK education
• Overall Academic record of the student
• English Proficiency

• Post study plans of the student

The security deposit is refunded only if the student shows the letter of rejection of student visa issued by the British High Commission. In most cases the University refunds the deposit within a period of 1-2 months upon the University receiving the formal letter for refund along with the letter of visa rejection.

Primarily, the candidate is expected to have all the required documents in order. Presentation of self is also very important. As the student is going to be tested for his English language skills in a very crisp way his answers need to be precise and to the point. Knowledge of course and University the student is going to is very essential as the student would be questioned on this. General information on UK education, lifestyles etc would be an added advantage. Finally the student is expected to have a clear plan of action regarding his post study plans.

?         Proof of your home address
?         Proof of your UK address, usually in the form of a utility bill or hall of residence receipt
