Effect of US study visa rejections on UK study visa?

Post by SPK2 » Tue Oct 11, 2016 7:37 am

Hello everyone, I wish to apply for tier 4 but the thing which is hindering me is US study visa rejections. I was rejected 5 times on the basis of 'no intent to return back'. 3 times after my 12th grade and twice after my graduation. I have good academic background and i really want to go for MS in a world class univ. So, will it be successful to apply for UK study visa after so many rejections. Looking for expert view... :roll:

No one can tell you if you will be successful or not. You do have to declare the refusals though.

I was refused a Tier 4 based on 5 years cap in 2014. Then I was refused a Canadian Student visa based on "not sufficient ties to home and already having a masters from the UK" in 2015. Then I applied for Tier 4 in 2016 based on my PhD and got the visa.

If you have valid reasons for the refusals, then just be frank and honest and explain to the visa officer who will interview you. I did the same. I explained my study plan and everything and it didn't seem to matter to them. I don't think that "might stay over in the UK" is sufficient grounds for refusal. You just have to persuade the officer that you are indeed a legit/genuine student.

I wish you the best of luck with your applications.

Must declare all your refusals!
