Breaking the 28-day rule
One dip below the amount can mean refusal.
TB test at the wrong clinic
Only approved clinics count.
Assuming family can come
Most taught master's students cannot bring dependants.
A weak credibility interview
Know your course and plans in your own words.
Funds with no clear history
Sudden large deposits raise questions.
