Heard there is now interview at the airport for students travelling to the UK,
How is this information pls?

Yes this is true actually

Recently there have been several reports of students being interviewed by UKVI at the airport prior departure. The UKVI team is currently present at several countries (Nigeria, Bangladesh, India, Nepal so far) with the objective of interviewing students prior to their departure from home country. Please be advised that they have the authority to prevent students from boarding their flights if necessary:

What should you expect?


Students may be asked:

Student PCI (Pre-CAS interview) questions
Proof of funds and source of income (Showing on bank app or cash in hand)
Other personal and probing questions to verify their eligibility

Good afternoon family.I am a January intake UK study applicant.I will greatly appreciate if someone can help me discuss how I can pay my Visa fee and Health Surcharge fee.I am preparing to make these payments next month.Thanks for helping out

You can make these payments with a dollar card,some Nigerian cards like GT banks might work too

If these are not comfortable options for you,you can also make these payments via a trusted payment platform called flywire

Kelluz:
someone linked me up to a friend in UK

Pls can you help with the number called ?

I think the whole point of departure interview and asking for proof of funds is subjective/random. I got in on Wednesday and I didn’t go through any of these.

quote]I am sure someone must have answered your question but I would drop my one cent. When choosing schools to attend in the UK, what should be an important factor when picking a school is the job opportunities in the city your school is located and when I say jobs I mean student jobs that would help get you through school. Unfortunately, no employer cares about about your masters or the ranking of your school. What they care about is your experience and relevant professional qualifications in your field. The experience and the PQ is what would make you stand out in the crowd which would eventually lead to you getting a big salary and sponsorship. I really wish everyone coming from Sept 2025 the best, the immigration laws aren't favouring immigrants but we Nigerians would always find our way, lol. It might all gloomy at first but don't worry it would become clear eventually. Be consistent, pray and be active in communities. You can't do it alone!! Best wishes everyone

Your response is great and I quite agree with you.
I have a question though? Are there job opportunities for international students at Wrexham?

And the funniest part is that we can not do anything than to make paid calls and wait for them.
Some will just give you a response for you not to call again, imagine one said call back after 15working days and the student called again and the next person said call tomorrow. It's not fair at all.

Have you tried calling them? This is crazy, I understand how you feel, try calling them and explain your situation to them, hopefully a nice person will pick your call. Pele

Please mail your school and explain the situation to them. When I had delays last year i was mailing my school back-to-back and they gave a grace period of mid October or so.

I don't know where these lies and fear-mongering is coming from, and why Nigerians like spreading fear, maybe it's from the psychological need to intimidate people or something ,but it's very weird and annoying, saw something similar on twitter not too long ago.

Yes there was a white man on the queue asking basic questions before people could board,
- What are you studying, what university, Do you have your eVisa. very basic stuff
Nothing else. Just for formalities.
Carry all your documents, as long as you've gotten your visa there is no need to fear.

He was NOT asking for proof of funds or any other weird scary stuff.

Relocated last week and I saw him there, questions last like 2minutes at most. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Dear NLs, I need help and advice. I intend going for a masters program, but just found out that social work Mres is for research purposes and not practice. Can you share NON-STEM courses for MRES with a pathway to COS related occupations? Or could you point me to a page that discusses this? Apologies if I am derailing the thread
