Will the interview happen before the visa processing in UK?
25 Jun 2026 · Answered by Vandna Rani · 1 min read
Yes, the credibility interview usually takes place after you submit your UK student visa application and biometric details, but before your visa is fully processed.
If selected, UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) will contact you with interview details. Attending this interview is important - missing it without a valid reason can lead to visa refusal.
If you receive an invitation, respond promptly and prepare to discuss your course, university choice, finances, and future plans. Contact your LeapScholar counsellor if you need help preparing.
