Delay in tier 4 (applying outside UK) ! And no interview was carried out

Dear all,

My brother has applied for a tier 4 visa outside uk on the 7th of July and when he showed up in the visa centre apparently there were no staff availiable to carry out an interview with him as part of his tier 4 application.The visa centre staff told him that the embassy will call him up to schedule an interview. However, he never heard anything from the embassy or the visa centre. We called up the visa centre and enquiried about the situation and they told us that UKVI may choose not to carry out the interview ! However from what we have heared from other people; the interview is almost a compulsory thing when apply from outside the Uk.

Almost 15 working days have now passed and he still didnt hear anything from UKVI ! Is this a bad sign ? Would it be possible that his application has been forgotten about because of the interview issue ? I dont mean to sound so silly, but we are very nervious about this and i would really appreciate it if you share your opinions on this matter.

Ps. Other people we know have applied after him and already got their visas.

He should contact his University's International student adviser. They are able to contact the Home Office on his behalf. Each University has an Immigration representative at the Decision Making Center. .. At least my university has one!!

Hi! I also applied for a Tier 4 Visa outside of the UK. I was not interviewed at my Visa Application Center nor did I receive any communications from UKVI. Have you received any updates on your brother's application?

Thankfully his application was approved ! And they didnt ask him to do the interview.
