  CREDIBILITY INTERVIEWS - message from Brunel University

  We are aware that if an applicant is required to attend a UKVI credibility interview, it can be stressful for not only themselves but also their counsellor.

  I am therefore sharing some helpful slides from our UKVI Compliance Manager, which provide information regarding the interview process. 

  It includes information as to what applicants can expect and the main reasons as to why students fail the interviews.

  To avoid any mishaps, and for the GIR to survive, let's work together to only recruit credible students. 

  My colleagues in our compliance office are also happy to answer any questions relating to visas/immigration and credibility: 

  • admissions.immigration@brunel.ac.uk

  With our very best wishes,

  Simon, Priyanka & Fiona
