Setting the record straight
-
What you may have heard
That a student visa can be obtained on a contract basis through an agent.
How it actually works
It is impossible to obtain a visa this way. Students obtain a visa based on the individual strength of their individual visa application.

What you may have heard
That an agent can provide you with a visa.
How it actually works
Please be aware that there are some dishonest agents claiming that they can. No agent issues visas — what we can do is prepare your application as well as it can be prepared.
We always ensure that the students' visa applications are prepared in the best possible way. Our visa support officers are there to help the students along the visa journey towards realizing their dreams. The documentation officer scrutinizes the documents and then a "mock" interview is taken in English. Only when a student is confident enough to face an interview do we book an appointment time with the Visa Facilitation Service.
In June 2014, the Immigration department at the British High Commission shifted to New Delhi, meaning there is a longer lead-in time as it takes up to 55 days for issuance of student visas for the UK universities.
