Re: Tier 4 visa CURTAILED help!!!!

If the main applicant visa is curtailed I think the dependents would face same visa restrictions since their presence in the U.K. is based on the dependency of the main applicant.

Re: Another Post graduation course after post graduation

I didn’t know academic progression is only required if applying within U.K. that’s a new information for me, thanks! yes my point was satisfying the ukvi about your choice of course and level. Otherwise no university would decline an admission if you fulfill the pre requisites. Many people change th...

Re: Another Post graduation course after post graduation

If you’ve already studied in U.K. you need to show academic progression for the next course. If you’re regressing then you need to have a sound reason for it to justify during your interview. Even if course is on the same level you need to explain why you opted for a second post grad, if it’s an ext...

Re: Very short credibility interview need advice.

You'll receive a call from UKVI for a second interview. They probably rush the interview because of the shortage of time. I received a call for an interview a few days before the decision was made. What I'll recommend is use headphones during the interview and ask them to repeat any question you co...

Re: Very short credibility interview need advice.

I have come across a student who had his interview for only 5 minutes, I think, in 2015. He received his visa. Additional questions are chosen based on your immigration history which may lengthen the interview time. Wait positively for the outcome. Hope you made good impression in those 4 mins. Goo...

Re: Very short credibility interview need advice.

May be you’re right and I’m over thinking. The fact that every course, level of education and aptitude of the person applying is different you can’t expect the same time limit for them all to reply the questions. An Undergrad applicant May have a straightforward reply but for Postgraduate You do nee...
