United Kingdom
One-year masters, fastest decisions
The UK offers the shortest route to a foreign masters — most are one year — and a Graduate route that lets you stay on afterwards. Everything runs through licensed sponsors: a university issues a CAS, an employer holds a sponsor licence. Without those, there is no application.

Why United Kingdom files actually get refused
Not theory. These are the failure points we see repeatedly on this route — and every one of them is fixable before you file.
- Maintenance funds held for too few daysThe funds must sit for the required consecutive period. A day short is a refusal, not a query.
- Bank account in the wrong nameFunds in a cousin's or friend's account do not count. The rules on whose account qualifies are strict.
- Credibility interview answersStudents are interviewed. If you cannot explain your course and career plan yourself, the file fails.
- Missing TB certificateMandatory for Indian applicants on longer stays, and routinely forgotten.

United Kingdom questions
If yours is not here, call and ask it. The first conversation costs nothing.
What is a CAS?
Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies — a reference number a licensed university issues once you accept the offer and pay the deposit. You cannot file the visa without it.
Can I bring my family on a student visa?
Dependant rules for students have been tightened and now exclude several categories. We check your specific course level before you plan for it.
Is the Graduate route automatic?
No. You apply for it from inside the UK after successfully completing a qualifying degree, and it has its own conditions.
Is United Kingdom the right country for you?
Send us your marks, your funds position and your timeline. We will tell you whether this route fits — and say so plainly if another one fits better.
