Hi everyone.

I applied for uk tier 4 visa on 4th aug 2020. Today on 14 aug i received email from home office that my application is not straightforward and will take longer time.
I want to know will it mean a refusal of application. My cgpa is 3.78 (87%) also i have been awarded with 2 gold medals in bachelors. I have submitted certificate of my medals as well. But i also have previous uk student visa refusal back in 2015.

Email says below.

It means it will take a bit longer to process your application. Many people get this and it doesn't mean you will be refused. It's just a way for them to keep you updated about the progress. No need to panic or anything.

[Zainsaleems]

Thanks everybody for your reply. I'll post the outcome of my application as soon as i get it.

Could you share why your previous visa was refused? A lot depends on the reasons your previous visa was refused.

[Zainsaleems]

It was refused because of credibility interview. The ECO comment that I'm not a genuine student.

But it was my fault because i didn't prepare for interview.

But now my circumstances has been changed. I have completed my bachelors now and have received two gold medals. Also this time interview goes very well.

They wont consider your gold medals. But they will compare your current interview with the last one and make a decision. That is why they are asking for time. But I think you should not worry if your current interview went well.

Hi james. Yes . It was skype interview conducted at vfs centre. It took around 60 min. Though there was only few questions. The reason it took long time was the interviewer lady was writing so slow. Otherwise it could have ended in 20 min

[james101958]

What kind of question she ask u and second thing i have an appointment on 9 September they will take my fingerprint on same day and interview as well
