First, the UK study visa processing steps
Step one, relax.
Every British university is the same. There are two kinds of offers: conditional offers and unconditional offers. If you get a conditional admission notice, it means that you lack materials or the application background has not yet met the requirements of the school. You need to fill in the missing materials (such as IELTS scores, documents, etc.) ) before you can change to an unconditional admission notice. Remember to pay the tuition as scheduled after you get it ~
The second step is to exchange ca.
CAS is an admission confirmation letter from a British university and important information for applying for a T4 student visa in the UK. When applying for a student visa, visa officers can enter the CAS number, that is, 14-digit student number, and see the course information, personal information and materials submitted by students when applying.
attention please
It must be remembered that CAS is valid for 6 months from the date of issuance. Once the validity period expires, CAS may be withdrawn or cancelled by the university.
Step 3: Prepare visa materials.
1. Passport
Passport currently in use and passport with previous British visa.
2. Financial proof
Documents proving that you have the necessary funds.
You need at least ￡ 65,438+0,0/kloc-0.5 every month to support the first nine months of your study in the UK (￡ 965,438+0.35) and all unpaid tuition fees in the first year of the course.
The funds must be kept in the bank account for at least 28 consecutive days, and your bank statement must not exceed one month from the date of visa application.
3.BRP UK visa card
If you are a student in York, you need to provide your previous British visa card, that is, the biometric information card, to apply for a visa again or extend it.
4. Birth certificate
Although it is not mandatory, it is better to provide it to speed up the visa process.
5. Statement of health status
China residents who plan to stay in the UK for more than 6 months must undergo tuberculosis examination at the clinic designated by UKVI. When submitting visa materials, you should attach a tuberculosis test report with normal physical examination results.
Bank statements, bank letters and savings passbook are all considered as acceptable financial documents. Please note that the electronic bank statement should be stamped by the bank on each page and must contain the account number, date and bank logo.
Second, the types of study visas in the United States
1, F- 1 visa
This is the most common type of student visa. If you want to go to a school accredited by the US government (including an accredited American university or college, a private middle school or an accredited English learning program, etc.). ), you should apply for an F- 1 visa. In addition, if you study more than 18 hours a week, you should also apply for an F- 1 visa.
2.M- 1 visa
If you want to study or train in a non-academic or vocational education institution in the United States, you should apply for an M- 1 visa.
3. American public schools
According to American law, foreign students are not allowed to enter public primary schools (from kindergarten to eighth grade) or government-funded adult education programs. Therefore, the F- 1 visa is not applicable to such schools.
Applicants who plan to study in public secondary schools (grades 9 to 12) can apply for an F- 1 visa, but the time for foreign students to study in schools shall not exceed 12 months. In addition, the school must also indicate on the I-20 form that the students have paid the education fee but have not received any financial aid, and at the same time indicate the amount paid.
Attention: Class A, Class E, Class F-2, Class G, Class H-4 and Class J-2.
Third, the reasons for the refusal of visas in the UK
1. Is your visa category correct?
Many British students don't know what kind of visa they are submitting before submitting their visas, which leads to the wrong form and the waste of visa fees and time.
In fact, if you get CAS9, it means that you are a British student visa. General visa types will be indicated on CAS, such as Tier 4 ordinary student visa. Of course, if you are under 16, what you see is the child student visa.
If you get a visa letter instead of CAS, then you are a visiting visa. The types of visa materials prepared are different, and the forms filled in are naturally different.
2. Have you got the original visa materials required by the school? Does the original information meet the requirements in CAS?
It is especially important for students who have studied in the UK to pay attention to this point. Quite a few students have no idea about the word original, so they hurried back to China when they got CAS, which led to just patting their heads before they were ready to hand it in. Ah, the original transcripts and other academic materials are still in the UK. Delayed visa time.
Have you saved enough money?
There is enough money here, which means not only more money, but also more time. First of all, in terms of the amount, if parents save money in batches, then the friendly reminder must be in the same bank, under the same account, and the last deposit certificate will help you accumulate.
Secondly, how to calculate the amount, your tuition+65438+0-year living expenses written in black and white on CAS. The problem of time is that students are planted on it every year. UKBA's requirement is to keep it for 28 days, and how many students were rejected on the 28th day. The best way to avoid "tragedy" is to wait until 1 month, which is not imminent. Don't be serious with the visa officer for a day or two.
