1. First is scoring of high marks in the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) Examination or IELTS, if required by the University. The University may not insist upon this exam or may admit a student with lower score but the Consular Officer always feels that it is necessary for an Indian student to be proficient in English language.
2. Having a valid Offer Letter from a foreign recognized and accredited University, a student then needs to fill the Visa Application Form. Majority of the students who apply for Students Visa have a grievance that without asking a single question or looking at a single document out of the multitude of documents which they had carried with them, their Visas were denied. A wrong notion is prevailing that the decision taken by the Consular Officer without having a verbal talk with the student or without seeing the documents cannot be a proper decision.
3. In the Visa interview, which is the third and the last step, the applicant of a Student Visa should know that his Passport, Bank Certificates and Offer Letter reveal all necessary particulars to the Consular Officer. The Passport shows whether the student had earlier applied for any category of Visas for any country, whether the student had traveled earlier to any country and, if so, to what countries and as what? Offer Letter reveals the particulars about the Student and the University and the duration and status of the course. Similarly, Bank Certificates show the financial data to pursue that course and the source of the student's financial support.
