Second, go to the distribution center.

As early as in the process of online application, the place and time of delivery have been filled in and reserved. Just go at the appointed time.

Once again, I would like to confirm with my friends that Britain has set up 15 visa application centers in China, namely, Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Shenyang, Jinan, Chongqing, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Fuzhou, plus Xi 'an, Kunming and Changsha newly established in 2065, with 438+06.

You should also bring an appointment application form, fill it out when you apply online, print it out and bring it.

Note: Be punctual and try to arrive at the visa center fifteen minutes in advance.

Third, submit visa materials.

1. Ling Hao

After arriving at the visa center, there is a special person at the door to help check the appointment form, passport and materials. If you find any materials that have not been translated or omitted in the process, he will remind you to add them. It doesn't matter. He will help you make a call list after he has finished binding. All you have to do is wait in the waiting area with the call list and be called.

Go to the window

When you are assigned your own number, go to the corresponding window and give your complete application materials to the staff, who will review it again to see if there are any omissions or translation needs. After checking the information, you will ask whether you need express delivery (50 yuan) or SMS notification (15 yuan), or you can pick it up yourself, and the progress can also be found online. If you choose express delivery, you need to fill in the mailing address and your contact information. Then you can leave the window and wait for the second call.

Special note: once the information is submitted and left, it cannot be added. The visa officer will review the materials submitted by the students at that time. Students will no longer be able to submit more materials by mail, fax or email.

Collect biometric information

The second call will let you enter a small room to collect your biological information, which is actually scanning your fingerprints and facial photos. When scanning fingerprints, make sure that there are no ornaments, cuts, breakage or other marks on the fingertips, as these will affect the submission of acceptable fingerprints. After scanning the biological information, the whole signing process has been completed.

Generally, it takes 10 to 15 working days to process the whole visa. You need to be patient and wait. Official website Real-time.

pay attention to

Recently, there have been some telephone frauds against students applying for T4 visas. The fraudster will lie that he is a staff member of the British Home Office and ask the students to pay a fine. Their deception is very easy to believe, but in fact, the British Visa and Immigration Center will not contact students in this way. If you receive such fraudulent phone calls, please be sure not to disclose any personal information, and do not transfer or remit money in any form.

Fourth, the interview

According to the new policy of studying in Britain, all student visa applications now require interviews. Interview can be said to be the last step of visa, and it is also an extremely important link. The whole video interview is about ten minutes, mainly to examine the credibility of students going to Britain and verify their personal abilities. From the feedback of many students who have received visa video interviews, the interview mainly examines the credibility of students' information and their motivation to study abroad. But don't worry too much, lest the interview be bad or something. Judging from the current data, the visa failed because the interview was rejected. Since the implementation of the new policy of 20 13, the number of people has decreased.

Frequently asked questions about visa interview for studying in Britain

Do you usually plan to work in England?

Although the UK allows students to work legally for 20 hours a week in the UK, the visa officer hopes that all the funds for studying abroad will be ready before you arrive in the UK, and you don't need to work to solve the tuition and living expenses. Therefore, the visa officer asks if you will work-study program, even if you have such a plan, you should say no.

What are parents' jobs and incomes?

According to the actual situation. The visa officer will check whether you really understand the financial situation of your family, because the visa officer also knows that many students' visa applications are completed through intermediaries, so they will confirm them. In addition, if the parents' income is only 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, then when providing more than 300,000 family deposits, the visa officer will think that parents can't provide so many deposits at all and must borrow some money; Or you bring all your family's money to England, which has a great influence on your family's life. Therefore, there is still an income question in this amount that needs to be answered reasonably.

Are you going to continue working after you have finished all the courses?

Note that this is not the time to show your Excellence and hard work. British officials actually don't want international students to stay and work in Britain, and even suspect that you have an immigration tendency. So at this time, we must answer firmly and return to China as soon as we finish our studies.

Many people say that the materials I wrote are very clear. Why do you ask these questions?

The visa officer thinks that it is understandable for the intermediary to participate in this process, but if you don't fully understand the domestic materials and the situation of studying in the UK, the visa officer will doubt your learning motivation and the authenticity of the materials. Many students who have provided more than double the guarantee of studying abroad are unfairly refused visas because they don't know what their parents do at work, which is very common for many people who can't even remember their parents' birthdays. However, people in this situation really need to reconsider before going to the visa.
