Help needed for Tier 4 Interview Please

Post by vishali2010 » Sun Aug 17, 2014 8:48 am

Hi All,
I came to uk in 2010, completed my MBA in 1 yr. Then I was on psw until last month. I applied for tier 4 visa last month. Course is ACCA at BPP University. Gave biometrics on 31st last month. Few days ago I received a letter from ukvi to attend an Interview.

1 . Ukvi calling everyone for the interview or did they find any thing suspicious in my case to call me for interview

2. Anyone who attended the interview recently, can you please share what's the interview gonna be like. What they ask during interview. How long it lasts

3. And after interview how long they will take to give the decision.

Thank you one and all for being here and helping each other :)

Not everyone is called for interview, a higher and higher proportion of students will be as an ongoing part of the student visa process.
You will be subject to something they call genuineness testing, basically lots of questions about why you are doing the course, why you picked that establishment etc.
In your case they will explore why you are going back to study after PSW visa. They will also do in depth about why your doing ACCA after your masters.
If they deem you credible they give you the visa, if not a refusal.

Interview will add a few more days to the process so you would expect to get a decision about two weeks later. Earlier if you are lucky.

Can be Skype live interview & questions regarding-
Previous Study In the UK?
Switch from tier 1 to tier 4?
Why do you want to study ACCA after Masters?

All the Best!!

Hey Mole and Vaishali,
Thanks for your discussions.
I am stuck in the same situation, where I have completed my masters, followed by PSW March 2012 - expired on 4th April 2014, applied for switching category Tier 4 general on 1st April 2014 ACCA - BPP University.
Today received a letter for an interview on 11th September.
I think Vaishali you must have attended the interview by now and got the Visa.
Mole, I got a question for you.
1. I showed the required funds for 28 days before the time of application - (before 1st April 2014) - now i have around £5000 left as I spent other money- would there be a question about maintenance or currently available funds?
2. As you said everyone is not called for an interview
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... -gsr-sty02
this is new link and updated rule ? or not everyone gets an interview?
3. I have been in the UK for nearly 9 years now - which excludes my study visa period of 2 years so far doing Masters from the university of greenwich
4. I will be eligible for ILR in next year August if I get the visa
5. I have all the up to date record of being genuine student and BPP is listed as premium sponsor in the list.
Please reply
