UK Student Visa Rejected - What to do next?

Question

I am applying to take an undergraduate course in Law in London.

My UK Student Visa got rejected on the grounds that I have insufficient funding in my parents' bank account, which holds $12,000, although they have $450,000 in stocks and shares.

I managed to get my parent's fixed deposit of $100,000, which I will use to reapply.

However, my problem is whether I should appeal against the decision with the ECO - as VFS in Singapore told me that the process would take 6 months to a year.

Or I should just make a fresh application (although my worry is that the new application will make the ECO wonder why I did not appeal)

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Apply for another visa and present a more credible financial capacity to support the study in UK.

Answer 2

Think again about your ties to your home country. Think about family relationships, jobs, family ownership of home, business, or land. Do you have other evidence to present? For example:

Will your parents or family at home pay for your study? Bring letters from employers to explain the job, how long they have worked, how much money they earn; or bring copies of savings documents or bank letters.

Will family members in the UK support you? Will you live with them while you study? You must prove that the family can pay for you without difficulty. They may need to send an affidavit (a legal statement) or send copies of pay slips or tax documents to show they can easily pay for your classes and/or living expenses.

Did they offer you financial aid or a scholarship? If so, bring copies of those letters.

Did you explain your situation clearly the first time? Do not prepare a speech, but think about how you can state your situation clearly and persuasively to the official.

Did you answer any questions clearly and correctly? Think about the first visit; perhaps you can give additional information that will help the official look favorably on your new request.

If you are refused a second time, you will have to wait for a period before you return. However, the probability of success on a third try is not very high. Each time you apply, you need to provide more documentation, so that you can say truthfully that there are new facts to review and more reason for approval.

Best of Luck next time!!!
