Interview
 

You will be interviewed by an Immigration Officer who will usually have satisfied him/herself as to whether or not you should be given permission to travel to the UK. In our experience, Immigration Officers often look for the following; 

• That candidates are organised and well presented.
• That they are fully informed about their proposed studies (i.e. syllabus content) and clear about how these will improve their prospects in the future.
• Be clear about how much money will be needed and have strong documentation to prove that the money is available.
• As Immigration Officers are sometimes concerned about an applicant's intent to come home, it may also be helpful to be prepared for questions that you may be asked in this regard.
• A Visa Application Document from the College showing tuition fees paid.
• Proof of access to sufficient funds for living expenses, i.e. without the need to work or recourse to public funds.
• To satisfy the Immigration Officer that you have every intention of returning home on completion of your studies.
