1) What are the criteria that considered while issuing UK visa?

The major things concerned while issuing 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

However the UK student visa is commonly termed as a student friendly visa

2) How will I get refund of my security deposit if my visa is rejected?

Usually 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.

3) How should I prepare for my visa Interview?

Mainly 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.

However we at Vingsabroad conduct up to 4 mock visa Interviews before going for it, to boost the confidence and also to crack it successfully.

4) How important is the IELTS score for getting student visa?

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.

5) What is the best time to attend the Visa?

At least one month before the semester start date.

6) Once the visa has been refused can the student attend again?

Yes, Student can attend any number of times.
