UK home office will conduct a credibility interview at the Visa Application Centre when the student applicant attends to submit their application and biometric information (fingerprint and photograph). Interview can also be conducted by UK University before issuing CAS / Offer letter to check your suitability. HighLinksPK can prepare you for that interview so that you can answer all questions in right way.

Process for Credibility Interview:

• The interview will primarily be conducted using video-conferencing. We are also putting in place suitable telephony as a contingency.
• Interviews are not carried out by entry clearance officers, rather an interviewing officer based in the UK. The officer will question the applicant about their reasons for studying in the UK.  The interview will be conducted in English and provide assurance that the English language requirements of the Tier 4 rules are met. A report of the interview will be sent to the visa officer.
• The report of the interview will be an additional piece of information that will be considered by the visa officer at the decision making hub, alongside the application and supporting documents.  It will help the visa officer make an informed and high quality decision on the application.
• If the visa officer needs to examine wider genuine student rule points, such as immigration history or finances, then the applicant may be called for an in-depth interview.
