More Than 100 000 Student Visa Applicants To Be Interviewed In 2013

09 Jan 2013

Starting from April 2013, over 100 000 student visa applicants would be interviewed by UKBA for UK Student Visas. The move is to prevent the use of student visas as a “backdoor route” to illegal activities and work .

The interview would be check their English proficiency and also to know the course details and financial arrangements for the entire course duration.

UK government wants to have a perfect balance between motivating bright and legitimate students and ensuring that student visas are not a alternative route to work in Britain.

“I can announce that, from today, we will extend radically the Border Agency’s interviewing programme,”

“Starting with the highest-risk countries, and focusing on the route to Britain that is widely abused, student visas, we will increase the number of interviews to considerably more than 100 000, starting next financial year. From there, we will extend the interviewing programme further across all routes to Britain, wherever the evidence takes us. I believe this new approach will help us to root out the abuse of British visas, and improve the integrity of our immigration system.”
