Application materials for studying abroad visa

To apply for a British student visa, you need to prepare the following materials:

1, CAS is ConfirmationofAcceptancefor.

Studies refers to the admission confirmation letter sent by the school to students after they accept the admission notice from a British university and pay the first tuition advance to the school to keep their degree. The steps of exchanging ca will be clearly stated in the offer issued by the school, and you can follow the instructions. The validity period of CAS is 6 months, and you need to apply to the school again after the expiration.

2. Original and photocopy of IELTS/TOEFL or other transcripts recognized by the Embassy.

3. One original+translation+copy of degree certificate and diploma.

4. One original+one translation+one copy of the undergraduate/senior high school transcript.

5. Original and photocopy of conditional/unconditional admission notice. If it is a language+degree course, you need to provide admission notices for both courses.

6. Original and photocopy of passport valid for at least six months. Please make sure there is at least one blank page (front and back). If you have an old passport, you need to provide the original one.

7. A recent photo with color bareheaded on a white background, with a size of 35*45mm.

8. The certificate of deposit, also known as "deposit", is a time deposit in four major banks (Bank of China is recommended) in the name of yourself or your parents. The deposit is the tuition and local living expenses of the first school year, and the amount is generally 350,000 ~ 400,000. The deposit period of this money must exceed 28 days, so that the certificate issued can be used for delivery, and the date of issuance of the deposit certificate shall not exceed one month from the delivery date. It is recommended to deposit time, because the current deposit bank may not issue a certificate for you. It is strongly recommended to deposit in the name of an individual, because you only need to submit the deposit certificate+passbook/deposit certificate in the name of an individual, but you need to submit the deposit certificate+passbook or deposit certificate+household registration book+birth certificate+letter of support in the name of your parents, which is a lot of trouble in material preparation.

9. Online Application Form Fill in the form online, make an appointment to submit materials, pay online, print the application form after completion, sign it and attach the date. When you fill in the form, you will be asked to pay 300 pounds of IHS fee (immigration medical surcharge), and you will receive a confirmation email after the payment is completed, which will also be printed.

Application time

UKVI stipulates that student visas can be applied at least three months before the start of school. Considering the validity period, deposit period and delivery peak period of CAS, students should apply sooner rather than later and prepare the required materials as soon as possible.

⑨

Because everyone's content on CAS is different, I won't explain them one by one here. Just follow the steps on the website. The information filled in this website can be saved. If you can't fill in all the information at once, just log in by email next time and continue to fill in.

After filling in the online form, you will receive a confirmation email with your GWF number (UniqueReference

$ Number), visa fee and required materials. This GWF number is very important and will be used for booking and printing application forms.

Step 2 make an appointment online

To make an online reservation at one of the 15 visa centers in China (Beijing, Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Jinan, Kunming, Nanjing, Shanghai, Shenyang, Shenzhen, Wuhan and Xi 'an), all applicants must make an appointment in advance.

Step 3 pay for it

Use the payment method supported by the website to pay the related expenses.

Step 4 log in

Arrive at the visa center 15 minutes in advance on the day of booking application, and bring all application materials. It is recommended to bring a pen to prevent modification or supplement. After entering the visa center, there will be staff to help you register and get the number. Next, the staff will review the materials, collect biological information (according to fingerprints and photos), collect your materials and give them to the visa officer, and choose the way to obtain the visa (by mail/by yourself). The above is the whole process of signing the contract.

5, face-to-face sign

You may be attracted by the interview.

Step 6 wait for a visa

Facial sign

Although the chances of being drawn for an interview are very small, if you are drawn, you can only have a good interview, so I'd better mention it here.

If you get a face-to-face interview, it will be held on the day of delivery, so you should dress appropriately on the day of delivery and don't wear heavy makeup. The interview process will not be long, usually in 5~ 10 minutes. The interview was conducted by video phone.

Don't be nervous during the interview. If you are nervous, it is easy to answer irrelevant questions or irrelevant questions, leading to the tragedy of being rejected in the end. Be confident and speak slowly. The focus of the interview is not to show the other person how authentic your spoken English is, but to answer their questions logically and methodically and convince them that you are really qualified to get a visa.

Students will be asked some basic information about the course, such as the name of the school, the date of commencement, the name of the course, etc. These questions can be answered according to the information on CAS, so students must be familiar with the contents on CAS in advance to avoid answering different contents from those on CAS. Most other questions revolve around "Why do you want to go to England?" "Why did you choose this school and major?" We also discussed topics such as "your understanding of your major" and "your plans after graduation". These questions are also suggested to be answered in advance, which can best reflect your sincerity.

Don't show the tendency to emigrate, to work in Britain, and to show the financial burden that studying in Britain will bring to your family. These are issues of great concern to the Immigration Bureau.

BRP

BRP (Biometric Residence)

Permissions), that is, biological information card, from April 20 15 to April 20 15, Britain implemented the policy of biological information card for China citizens who applied to go to Britain for half a year or more.

BRP is a chip card, which can be understood as a domestic ID card with your photo and personal information on it. You don't have to apply for this card separately. At the end of filling out the visa form, you will be asked the address of the BRP card. Just fill in the address of your school here, and it will be issued automatically when you arrive in the UK. Please get your BRP card in time after entering the UK. Without this card, many schools will refuse to accept you.

You need to carry a BRP card with you when you enter or leave the UK. This card is equivalent to your ID card and visa in the UK.

If the BRP card is lost or damaged, or the information on the card changes, please reissue it in time. If you find that you don't have this card, you will be fined.

Matters needing attention

1. The T4 visa in the UK adopts the points system, with a total score of 40 points, including 30 points for CAS and other necessary documents and 10 for visa guarantee. Therefore, CAS is the focus of the visa. If the information in CAS is incorrect, it may affect the visa result. Therefore, after receiving CAS, students must double-check the above information. If there are any mistakes, they should report to the school at the first time and replace CAS.

2. The translation documents involved in the delivery materials must be issued by an institution with professional qualifications, and the applicant cannot translate them by himself. Every page of the translated document must be confirmed by the translator, as well as the translation date, the translator's full name, autograph, certificate number, work unit and contact information. The visa center also provides translation services, but it is very expensive. Students are advised to prepare themselves.

3. The visa review time is generally 15 working days, but the expedited service is shortened to 3-5 working days, and the expedited fee is about 2000 RMB. However, if the expedited review time exceeds 3-5 working days, the money will not be refunded.

4, can not be faked! Falsifications include forging materials, concealing the history of visa refusal, and lying in interviews. Once these acts are discovered, they may be permanently blacklisted by the British Visa and Immigration Bureau, and even they may not be able to apply for a tourist visa in the future, with extremely serious consequences.

Possible reasons for refusal

1. Incomplete/incorrect materials

Such as incomplete CAS information, unqualified deposit certificate, and nonstandard English translation. In addition, if it is found that the applicant forged documents in order to get a visa, it will directly affect my reputation and lead to the refusal of the visa.

2. Financial issues

The remaining 10 points of T4 visa come from the guarantee. Including tuition and living expenses. If you find that you are unable to pay this fee, or this fee will cause you or your family a great financial burden, it may also lead to visa refusal.

3. Personal problems

For example, lying in the interview, expressing immigration tendency, concealing the history of visa refusal and other details. The criterion for judging these questions lies with the interviewer. Although it is unlikely that the British visa will be drawn in person, it is still necessary to ensure sincerity.
