Thanks silverlining for helpful tips really grateful.
Yes, there are few discrepancies from my end with regard to my application which led ECO more doubt.
Yes I said not able to get job in India on UK experience but I said not able to get senior level job and I can get junior level job bu as my work experience is of 10 years, I do not want to sacrifice for junior level job. The ECO cut short the sentence and just took "cannot find job" which was very not fair.
In India MBA is of 2 years and in UK it is of 1 year and I told the same to ECO that I will save one year of study.
Yes my unemployment for one year made ECO doubt on me being genuine student but my agent did not provide me correct guidance for visa filing nor he said to me to carry any further docs at the time of second interview nor to fill in employment gap.
I have to put up a strong case if I want to go ahead with Sept intake and also I will see election results and policies after that, if any change in it then I can go for UK or else I would go for New Zealand.
There are many student visa agents in UK but sad to say they are not good in visa applications but only to get admissions. I have taken so many opinions from agent but they say go to New Zealand and not UK as you stayed there for more than 4 years to work and they feel you are potential immigrant. Lets see I am keeping my fingers crossed and keeping all options open.
Thanks again.
Thanks TheEngineer for your reply. Yes, I need to keep all options open about UK or New Zealand so I am getting offer letters for both. I need also to wait for election results as that is also a reason for rise in refusals of visas for UK.
Thanks Satchi for your reply. Yes, I need to show a very SOLID evidence of funding as UK immigration officers just want to refuse at any cost. I am aware that UK is very much against non EU migrants but they are not doing anything about EU migrants. Actually when I was in UK I came across my EU migrants who have taken jobs away from Britishers for less wages and on that issue they dont resolve with them but they cap non EU which is very much disheartening. And elections on face has been one more reason for visa refusals.
I am therefore keeping both options open whether UK or New Zealand, and yes as you said I will definitely make sure I have all the documents ready for money to show them or else I will again be in big trouble.
Thanks a ton
Thanks a lot for your prompt advice. I will definitely go with fresh evidences for Sept intake. I am just worried again they should not doubt me on genuine student issue. One more issue was that when I was in UK I had filed FLR (O) which was refused and I had filed appeal which I withdrew and came back voluntarily to India. I have not overstayed in the UK so I got my compliance properly done and got CAS.
But the ECO did not question me on my previous UK immigration history in myy interview but was only asking me on my funds how I managed them. I think mostly bcoz I was unemployed when I returned from UK for almost a year.
Many people are saying me that I should go to New Zealand instead of UK again as UK policies are very much strict. I seriously want to do my MBA but cannot succeed due to strict rules.
Thanks a lot The Engineer for your detailed guidance.
Should I then go for Sept intake for MBA or can I now go for PhD for Sept intake. BUt if I now file for PhD then they would question why PhD now and not MBA, thats my worry. I even tried for PhD in past was unlucky to get selected.
I am just thinking hard if I get all docs submitted like income of my father, my employment proof and all for MBA course for Sept would it help me to get visa. I know the current govt policies are very much on immigration and especially students policies. I am not aware whether the scenario would change after the 2015 elections. As even Scotland is pressing hard for PSW to be introduced back for their own part for encouraging students more to UK and many students have been opting other countries bcoz of this strict policies. I am very much confused as I do not want one more refusal which would again be baseless with nothing much to plead as its just a waste of time and money.
Please guide guys. Thanks a lot.
Hi Guys,
I was refused entry clearance to UK on aforesaid para as not being genuine student. I had paid full fees and showed maintenance funds and got 10 points. The ECO called me for second interview but did not asked me to get any docs just had mentioned in the email that "if you think any further docs are required to submit you can". So I did not carry any further docs.
At the time of interview he asked me how you got your funds managed I said I am lone child and my father works part time and gets 40k p.m. and my parents savings.
He asked me did you get any docs to show your fathers income I said no.
I had previously been to UK for 4.5 years on work visa and I have already done LLM from India and now wanted to do MBA from UK.
The ECO asked me are you presently working in India since you came back from UK. I said no I am not able to get job in India as UK experience is not counted in India and I want a MBA degree from UK which will boost my career further. As Indian job market has improvised and MBA with LLM I can get job in India. ECO asked me do you have any reference that after you come back to India you will get job I said I have references but I need to search jobs.
I came to India in March 2014 and been unemployed till Feb 2015. In the refusal ECO said I made contradictory statement in interview to my previous interview as I have worked in UK it will boost my CV further. He is not satisfied I am genuine student. He said that you being unemployed and have no employment to return to and is not satisfied that my proposed expenditure is commensurate with my family or economic circumstances.
Guys I want to know can i go for fresh application in Sept 2015 intake with evidences to all the aforesaid reasons or again the same would be refused. Please help
I am still awaiting for my visa guys. They even called me for second interview on 11Feb and said will give decision as soon as possible. But still nothing. My Uni also really supported me and gave me last extension till 19Feb but now they cannot and I am now at tremendous loss. I wish I should not have applied for UK Tier 4 visa as really I dont know why the visa officers take so much time. It is now 18 working days and still no decision. I am really saddened and upset with the processing time even after second interview they are thinking for decision makes me mad. Bad luck really.
Hi Satchi, thanks for your reply and kind words. It is really very sad about your visa story. I am just trying to be patient and hoping for the best. Yes, I do have to email my University about the enrollment date extension request hope they agree with the same. It is very much upsetting about the wait for the visa and all the pressure one goes through is very much annoying.
Regards Gemini
yes, but recently in Aug 2014 they opened a Tier 4 Priority Service in Bangalore wherein they decide applications within 5 working days. I opted for that traveled from Mumbai to Bangalore and paid rs.10,500 extra for the said service but seems its only on papers. Instead, I should have filed from Mumbai itself. Keeping fingers crossed.
Hi Guys
I am very tense. I applied for Tier 4 (General) visa on 22 Jan 2015 from Bangalore as I heard there is a visa priority service with payment of Rs.10,500 and would get decision within 5days. But still there is no news from Visa office yet.
Got an email from Visa office that my application is not straightforward and would take more time. I need to reach UK by 9Feb. More tense. Too much stressed. Is anyone aware of the processing time of Chennai UK visa office. Please help guys. Much needed.
Thanks
Thanks dfran for your help. As BPP Uni is in London and MSc course in Management, I was told is similar to MBA I was too much confused.
Still struggling what to do with my prospective study plan as MBA in most UK universities are too expensive. I am not from Business field so much more confused. Want to decide soon. Thanks
Guys is anyone aware of BPP University in the UK? It is a private university in the UK.
Is it worth to do MSc Management from BPP Uni as it is private and also being International student is it safe for Visa as I heard Home Office keep scrapping Tier 4 licenses of many Unis in the UK and BPP being a private Uni so just scared.
Also is the degree worth from private Uni same as from Public Uni.
And is MSc in Management of same caliber as of MBA?
Guys please help me with info if you are aware. Thanks in advance.
