If you don't have a visa page, you will cry. If you look for it, there must be a white form in the bag, which is a letter of refusal. You will write down the specific reasons for refusal, which can be roughly divided into the following categories:

① False information, deliberately false information in order to go abroad, direct refusal, no appeal, and it will be difficult to apply for a British visa in the future;

④ Having a bad record in the UK before;

⑤ and so on.

If the visa is refused in the UK, you can appeal, and there will be a prompt in the refusal letter, which generally takes 28 working days. However, the appeal is generally of little significance, and it is suggested that it is best to re-prepare the information application.
