英国面签常见问题
从今年6月1日开始，所有在中国申请英国学生签证的学生都将进行面试。英国大使馆教育文化处相关负责人表示，新制度不是为了增加签证难度，是为了把签证发放给那些“真正想到英国学习的学生”，对于面签，中国学生不必过多担忧。
数据显示，2012年，英国内政部在中国签发了超过57000份学生签证，比2011年增长约9%。在中国，因为学生申请的材料质量不断上升，拒签率从2010年的14%下降到2012年的2%。英国政府政策内阁部长奥利弗·莱特文表示，对于面签，中国学生无需感到害怕，此举不会影响中国学生和其他真正的国际学生很高的签证通过率。
专家表示，英国签证面试被拒签的几率非常之低，因为这不作为对签证申请者英文能力的衡量，唯一可能的被拒签原因就是面试官认为申请人材料不充分，对自己的学习计划很不明确，不是真正的学生签证入境者，而是把这个签证用来做别的用途。增设面试环节不会延长申请时间，也不会对签证通过率造成影响。
英国领事馆教育文化处相关负责人重申，新的面试体系将使防止学生签证体系被滥用，整个签证流程更加完善，这将保护目的为真正赴英学习与工作的学生和正规的高等院校、中学及学院，确保英国教育环境井然有序，以继续吸引更多优秀的中国学生。
