What happens when a UK visa is refused?

3. Immigration tendency

In applying for a foreign visa, the issue of immigration tendency is a big problem faced by overseas visa applicants. This is actually very subjective, because the embassy will not tell you. Which specific provisions are used to prove that you have the tendency to immigrate illegally; however, if the visa officer feels that you have the tendency to immigrate illegally, he will deny the visa.

4. How to eliminate immigration tendency in visa application?

From a practical point of view, the British embassy in China uses the principle of "presumption of guilt" for visa applicants who want to go to the UK. The British visa officer always first assumes that you have the tendency to immigrate to the UK. The real purpose of all applicants for non-immigrant visas is to stay in the UK. Applicants must try to convince the visa officer that they will return to China immediately after their visit, and the visa officer proves that you have no such tendency.

The visa officer examines whether an applicant has a tendency to immigrate, mainly through two aspects:

Whether the applicant’s purpose of going abroad is clear;

Examining the application Whether the applicant’s return plan is true and specific.

Your family relationships in the UK and where you live;

Whether you have sufficient contacts in China, including work, real estate, spouse, savings, etc.

If the applicant has relatives in the UK and needs to state it clearly in the application materials, do not choose to hide it because it may increase your tendency to immigrate. Because you conceal information about your relatives who have settled in the UK, once the embassy finds out, your visa is very likely to be refused;

When you apply for a short-term visa, if you are applying this time, the time It is not advisable to apply for a visa that is too long, because even if you apply for a 2-year or 10-year multiple-entry visa, the embassy may not approve it, and it will actually cause the embassy to doubt the purpose of your visit.
