From Our Counselling Desk

Why UK Student Visas Get Delayed or Refused

Patterns we see in files from students who want to study in UK. The decision always rests with UK Visas and Immigration, but a well-prepared file is clearer and stronger.

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.

Relying on a part-time job

Budget without counting on work income.
