Student visa applications aren’t usually refused because people are “not good enough”. It’s often because the application feels unclear, inconsistent, or incomplete. Let’s keep this practical — here are mistakes we see all the time, and how to avoid them.
1) Inconsistent documents
Dates, names, school timelines, and employment history must align. If something changed, explain it.
2) Weak SOP / study plan
Your SOP should connect your background → your course → your career plan. Generic SOPs get ignored fast.
3) Proof of funds presented poorly
It’s not only “having money.” It’s showing it clearly, legally, and in a way that makes sense.
4) Course choice doesn’t match your profile
If your course choice looks random, the officer may doubt your intention. Make the “why” obvious.
5) Rushing & skipping review
Small mistakes become big problems. Review like your approval depends on it — because it does.
Strong applications feel calm and consistent — nothing looks forced.
