Yeah, I didn't have to go through an interview at all. A woman called me to a room, where she asked for my DOB and then collected my biometrics and took a picture of me. And nope, I didn't dress formal.

O.O i wore formal btw, and i was like the only one. It's stated on the website."Tier 4 applicant interviews If you are applying for a Tier 4 student visa, you may be required to sit a short interview when you attend the visa application centre to submit your application and biometric information. The interview will focus on your reasons for coming to the UK and is known as a credibility interview. An entry clearance officer will consider this interview alongside your visa application and supporting documents. You may be called for a further interview if the visa officer needs more information." |

Actually it is called 'credibility interview'. We are "low risk" country, so everything is simplified. If not, will be something like this:

QUOTE(EdwinCodec @ Aug 20 2014, 10:09 PM) I was worried like you as well! I know how it feels like! I searched all over Google for answers and I found plenty of people doing different kind of mistakes. You can try it out yourself. Just Google (Mistakes on UK Visa Application). I think minor mistakes like that shouldn't be a problem unless you chose the wrong Visa category and wrong calculations in your financial supporting part. My friend went to submit her document today and ask on my behalf. Apparently they 'wont check on that' (quoting her) so I guess I will just let that pass. |
