英國留學簽證新政策雙語介紹

    The UK Home Office announced last year that it will be interviewing more visa applicants,

    including Tier 4 students. As part of the initial roll out in China from April 29 students who apply for

    a Tier 4 visa in China may be required to be interviewed at the visa application centre when they

    submit their application. Selection for interview will be random and genuine students will have no

    need to be concerned about the process. The interviews will be conducted by visa officers in the

    UK via a video link.

    去年， 英國內政部公布了將對更多簽證申請者進行面試， 其中包括申請第四層級學生簽證的申請者。在中國，這將于今年 4 月 29 日開始試行，申請第四層級學生簽證的申請者在簽證申請中心遞交材料的同時將有可能被要求面試。專家介紹說，參加面試的申請者將隨機選取，真正的學生不需要擔心。面試將由英國簽證官通過視頻進行。

    This new system will improve the integrity of the visa decision making process and act as a safety

    net to filter out any remaining abuse. It will also protect genuine students and institutions from

    those seeking to abuse the immigration system and ensure the UK continues to attract the

    brightest and best students from China. The interviews will not require much time and will better

    facilitate the application process for students.

    這個新的面試體系將使整個簽證流程更加完善，并防止學生簽證體系被濫用。這將保護真正的學生和院校，確保英國繼續(xù)吸引優(yōu)秀的中國學生。面試過程不會耽誤學生太多時間，并將更好地幫助學生申請簽證。

    The UK continues to welcome genuine students from China. In 2012, the UK Home Office issued

    over 57,000 student visas, with an increase of around 9% compared to 2011. With increased

    quality applicants for student visas in China, refusal rates have dropped from 14% in 2010 down

    to 2% in 2012. As you can see from the very low refusal rates, there should be very little impact

    for China as we already have very high quality students applying to the UK.

    英國繼續(xù)歡迎中國的優(yōu)秀學生赴英留學!2012 年，英國內政部在中國簽發(fā)了超過 57,000 份學生簽證，比 2011 年增長約 9%。在中國，因為高質量的學生申請不斷上升，拒簽率從 2010 年的 14%下降到 2012 年的 2%。從上述這么低的拒簽率可以看出，赴英留學的中國學生質量很高，所以相信該措施對中國學生影響不大。

    We highly appreciate your continued support for UK education and our visas procedures.

    Students should rest assured that this is not an added barrier but a continued effort to improve the

    efficiency of the visa process, while preventing abuse of the immigration system. It is the UK’s

    intention to continue to welcome genuine students. We are grateful for everyone’s understanding

    and assistance with this matter.

    非常感謝各位一直以來對英國教育和簽證的大力支持。請大家放心，這并不是為學生設置障礙，而是英國政府希望在不斷提高簽證效率的同時，防止對移民體系的濫用。英國將一如既往地歡迎真正的中國學生。再次感謝大家的理解和幫助。
