1. Things to note when interviewing for a British study visa

Clothing

Everyone knows that the impression is very heavy, whether it is picking up girls or interviewing for a visa, it is the same reason. And what to wear is even more important when looking at well-dressed British people.

Although it is important, the principle is very simple: if you are a student, you should dress like a student. If you are working, you should have a style that you have been working for a while. Don’t dress too casually. In other words, although the British pay great attention to clothing, it does not mean that you must wear a suit.

Politeness and smile

Politeness and smile are also very important and closely related to impression. In fact, most of our Chinese students do quite well on this point. Here I will talk about some details.

Let’s talk about knocking first. You have to knock before entering. It would be rude not to knock. Generally, you only need to knock twice to go in. You don’t have to wait for the people inside to say please come in, because the people inside People know you are coming in.

The correct approach is: knock on the door twice, open the door, close the door gently, and then say good morning/afternoon.

Let’s talk about eyes and smiles. When the visa officer talks to you, you should keep smiling naturally. Your eyes should look at the other person instead of looking left and right. Your eyes should scan and focus on the visa officer’s entire face instead of staring at the eyes. Specific organs such as nose or mouth.

Expression should be clear

It is common for slips of the tongue to occur due to nervousness during the interview process for studying in the UK. Therefore, do not think about using brilliant but unfamiliar expressions to avoid confusion, incomprehensible words, incoherent speech, or wandering eyes. In addition, it is also a good strategy to prepare in advance the frequently asked questions that visa officers like.
