Pre-CAS Interview UK student visa || credibility interview UK || Interview Questions and Answers||
What is a credibility interview?
Credibility interviews are now part of the Tier 4 visa application process. They were introduced by the (UKVI) UK Visas & Immigration to try and make sure that only genuine students are studying in the UK. It is by invitation only.
What is the purpose of the interview?
The interview is to check that you are a genuine student. During the interview you will be asked questions about your background, immigration history, about the studies you are planning to undertake in the UK, why you chose the University of Warwick and your course, how you intend to fund your studies in the UK and also how this fits into your career aspirations.
Will I have to attend an interview?
This will depend on where you apply:-
If you are applying for a Tier 4 (General) visa from outside of the UK, you may be selected to attend a short credibility interview when you attend your appointment or shortly after you have attended your appointment.
IF YOU ARE APPLYING FROM OUTSIDE THE UK
The Home Office intends to interview most Tier 4 student applicants before granting them immigration permission to come to the UK. Therefore you might be sent an email asking you to attend an interview as part of the application process. You should check your email (including the 'junk' folder) regularly as your application is likely to be refused if you are asked to attend an interview and you do not do so without providing a reasonable explanation.
During your interview a Home Office member of staff will ask you about your course, where you want to study and your reasons for studying in the UK. The report of the interview will be sent to the entry clearance officer who makes the decision on your Tier 4 application. The entry clearance officer must be satisfied that you are a ‘genuine student’, and that your English language ability is at the correct level, otherwise you might be called for a further interview and/or your entry clearance application may be refused.
IF YOU ARE APPLYING FROM INSIDE THE UK
You may be asked to attend a credibility interview as part of the application process. Interviews are normally carried out by a secure telecommunications system (similar to Skype), although sometimes they will consist of a face-to-face interview. In either case the interview will take place at one of twelve Home Office centres across the UK, namely:
Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham
Your interview will normally be held at the closest centre to where you live. If there are no appointments available at your nearest centre you may be invited to attend the next nearest centre. However, if you are asked to attend a centre that is very far from where you live you should contact the Home Office using the email address provided in the invitation letter and ask them to move your appointment to a centre closer to your home.
WHAT ARE CREDIBILITY INTERVIEWS FOR?
The interviewer is required to assess whether you meet the English language requirements to study in the UK and also if you are a ‘genuine student’. It is important to attend the interview if you receive a request to do so otherwise your visa application is likely to be refused.
THE KEY AREAS YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT
Ability to speak English: if you are unable to communicate in English, you will be refused immediately.
Knowledge of intended course of study and place of study: how much do you know about the course of study you have chosen with us? What qualification does it lead to? What other available options have you undertaken? Have you looked at the University's website and location?
Academic background: what are your reasons for beginning or returning to study now? If there are any gaps in your study history, how can these be explained?
Immigration history: did you comply with the conditions of any previous UK visas? Have you ever had any visa refusals - if so, why? If you have studied in the UK previously were your studies successful, and have you considered the Tier 4 time limit now?
Finances and personal circumstances: would anything about your personal circumstances make it difficult for you to complete a full-time course of study? How will you be funding yourself and where have the funds come from, ie from wages etc?
