Why are visiting scholars from the National Scholarship Fund Committee refused visas?

Most applicants don't understand the visa refusal. In fact, there have been many cases of public visiting scholars being refused visas in the past, but this year is particularly prominent. Therefore, I think it is necessary to explain the British visiting scholar visa to help applicants understand why they were refused a visa and how to apply for a visiting scholar visa. British visiting scholars are actually two kinds of visas in British immigration law. Strictly speaking, Chinese is only one of them. Visiting scholars in Britain are divided into academic visiting scholars and legal research scholars. Former academic visitors are visiting visas, which means that applicants go to Britain for so-called academic exchanges and exchange the latest academic ideas and research results with each other. The latter researcher belongs to the category of work visa. In particular, exchange academic research skills and learn from each other. Or borrow a British laboratory for research work. There are strict legal differences between these two kinds of visiting scholar visas. In fact, most of the so-called visiting scholars in China belong to the latter, that is, research scholars. Most visiting scholars of the National Scholarship Fund Committee were refused visas because the applicants applied for the wrong visa type. The visa officer believes that the applicant should apply for a TIER 5 work visa, that is, a research scholar, rather than an ordinary academic visit visa. However, applicants, especially overseas students sent by the National Scholarship Fund Committee, usually only know the academic visit visa, mistakenly thinking that there is only one visa type to choose from, which leads to the wrong visa type being refused. What needs to be clearly pointed out here are several misunderstandings of the applicant in the visa application process. Here we deliberately clarify: l Why did others pass my visa, but I was rejected? Why do I need to apply for a work visa at the same school in China and others don't? In fact, this question is easy to understand. The contents of the invitations issued by professors from different departments of the same university are different. Visa officers consider whether they belong to academic visit visas or TIER 5 work visas according to the contents of the invitation letter. So your actual research content determines what kind of visa you apply for. Professor L didn't give me the answer to prove that I applied for a TIER 5 work visa, so I could only apply for an academic visit. In the actual work of Longshuo Visa Office, we found that many applicants love to say this sentence after refusing visas, and feel very innocent. I have no choice because the professor refused to apply for a quota from the Immigration Bureau. In fact, this is a typical case of different positions and different results. Applicants usually consider problems from the perspective of their own interests. Since the professor doesn't want me to apply for a work visa, I have only one type to choose from. But as visa officers, they don't consider the interests of applicants, they consider the interests of the British government. Britain has clear immigration laws and detailed regulations on each type of visa. Applicants will be approved if they meet the legal requirements, and rejected if they do not. Professor, there is no reason for you to apply for anything. Moreover, legally speaking, professors are not qualified to interfere with visa policies, so no matter what professors tell applicants, visa officers will not consider it. And because the professor knows nothing about immigration law, many times the information he gives to the applicant is misleading. L China government sends students to study abroad, but can they refuse visas? This idea is the least desirable, but it is true that many visiting scholars do think so. The anger expressed by too many visiting scholars after refusing to apply for a visa determines that the applicant can't calmly analyze the reasons for his refusal, which leads to the possibility of refusing the visa again. Because many people think that the country gave me money to go out, why did you refuse a visa from the British government? However, whether you apply for a British visa at public expense or at your own expense, there is actually no difference in British law. The two types of applicants are completely equal in law. Therefore, there is no such logic. Therefore, applicants still need to be clear about the legal provisions in order to carefully consider whether their visas can be passed. L academic visitors refused to apply for a level 5 work visa. Theoretically, it is feasible to apply for a new visa type next time if the visa is refused because of the wrong visa type. However, from the statistics of actual operation, as long as the applicant has a history of refusal, the review time will be extended when applying for a visa again, and the visa officer is much more cautious when making a decision than those who have no history of refusal. Moreover, on many minor issues, if it is a first-time applicant, it usually does not constitute a reason for refusing a visa, but it will become a new reason for refusing a visa for applicants with a history of refusing a visa. Since it is difficult for visiting scholars of different jobs to apply, I just need to change the contents of the invitation. After the academic visitors refused the visa, many applicants revised the invitation letter and removed the work-related content, thinking that the second application would be fine. But it turns out that this is the most wrong. We have seen a large number of visiting scholars refuse visas for the second or third time because of this situation. In addition to legal issues, visas should also consider logic and the applicant's integrity. Logically speaking, the application submitted by the applicant without knowing the law is the most authentic. If the applicant changes the contents of the invitation letter for the second time, the visa officer will believe that the first time is true and the second time is to cater to the law, so it will not be accepted and will continue to refuse the visa. In addition, this wrong behavior will make the visa officer think that the applicant is dishonest and deliberately deceive the visa officer, thus creating a very bad impression. As a result, the visa officer refused the visa because he doubted the integrity of the applicant in future applications. Therefore, to sum up, Longshuo Visa Office reminds all applicants to be cautious about visas, not to apply blindly, especially not to think that there is a difference between public and self-funded visas. This is a very wrong idea, and many applicants have to give up the public study opportunities that they have spent a lot of time fighting for.
