8 ways to reduce your chances of visa refusal while immigrating to UK |
The United Kingdom is one of the developed countries of the world. It is also
the top destination for people around the world for immigration. Whatever your
reason immigrating to the UK has its own set of conditions you must fulfill.
There are many reasons for which your visa to the UK may be rejected.
Immigration lawyers can be your best bet at filing a successful application for
UK visa.
Understanding these reasons and avoiding them is the best way to ensure a
successful visa to the UK. Also, there are some factors which make you naturally
eligible for a UK immigration.
Here are eight ways to reduce your chances of
visa refusal to the UK:
Original Documents
Most numbers of cases where UK immigration authorities have rejected visa
involve fake certificates. Even a small diploma certificate that you obtained
without putting in any efforts through backchannel can derail your UK visa.
If you have any such documents that you would want to show, make sure that they
are valid. If not, it is recommended not to use them in any form.
Also, you need to show all your documents in original to the immigration
official. Scanned copies, Xerox copies, fax, etc. are a big no and can get your
visa stuck.
Comprehensive Travel Plan
The second part where most applicants make a mistake is the planning your UK
stay and financial support. The immigration official would want to be confident
about:
Ø Duration of your stay in the UK
Ø Place of stay
Ø Your ability to fund your stay in the UK
Many applicants fail to plan their travel well in advance or clearly and face
refusal of clearance.
Regular International Traveler
After all other reasons, first-time travelers to the UK face the toughest
questions and frequent rejections. It is better to visit some of the other
European countries or East Asian countries before eyeing the UK as a
destination.
Unless you fall into the categories below, your visa application for the UK as a
first international travel destination may fall flat.
Get Sponsored
Sponsorship is one way to ease your visa process to the UK, but in any case, you
will need to ensure that all other conditions are met. People who are skilled or
trained workers and sponsored by their employers to work and stay in the UK have
better chances of getting their visa approved.
Even for a private visit to a family member or friend, you can ask them to
sponsor your visit. This will require you to submit the documents related to
your sponsorship, financial condition of the sponsor, etc.
Develop a Unique Talent or Skill
Highly skilled workers, artists, talented persons are more likely to get a visa
to any country including the UK. Thus, if you have a knack for something,
develop it enough to sail through the immigration.
UK immigration categorizes such workers in Tier-I category, where the specified
bodies can nominate them in the respective area. Writers, composers, artists,
etc. fall in this category. It’ll be far easier for you to get a UK visa if you
fall in this category.
Be An Entrepreneur or Big Investor
The immigration also welcomes businessman and investors who can contribute to
UK's job market and economy. UK immigration will be assessing the size of the
investment you can make, and your past business activities in the UK if any.
The financial requirement for an investor can also get a boost if a UK’s
financial institution is ready to fund your business venture or investment in
the UK.
Win a Medal in International Sports Event
Well, obviously you will not be doing this just to get a UK visa. But, much like
investors and people in business, sportspersons and internationally acclaimed
celebrities can get a UK visa successfully.
Consult an Immigration Lawyer
While all the above advice works great, you should consult an
UK immigration
lawyer for the best possibility. Everyone has their unique situation and
objectives of visiting the UK. Therefore, it is better to get a hand-holding
from a lawyer who understands the legal tangles well.
Immigration lawyers will guide you through the process based on your unique
conditions. Consulting the experts is always better than winning an Olympic Gold
Medal for a UK visa.
