Credibility Interviews Information
Credibility interviews are part of the student visa application process used by UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) to try and make sure that only genuine students are studying in the UK. It is by invitation only. Some applicants will be called in for an interview before they are issued a visa to the UK. This is a critical part of the application process and you must be thoroughly prepared for it as they may give you very short notice in contacting you to attend an interview.
The credibility interview is to check that you are a genuine student.?During the interview, you will be asked questions about your background, immigration history, the studies you are planning to undertake in the UK, why you chose the university of your choice and your course, how you intend to fund your studies in the UK and also how this fit into your career aspirations.
The interviewer will also be checking your conversational English, and if there is any issue with hearing them clearly e.g., via the video link, you should ensure that you raise this so that they are aware that it is a technical issue, not one of comprehension. You have to prepare for this credibility interview properly.
