Study Abroad Programs

“In the process of searching right consultancy for my visa processing to Australia, I was taken to Raffles Education Network (P) Ltd. by my friend, who had applied from there. I was so much overwhelmed with the suggestion and support I got from REN. They act morale booster and you feel like working with friends rather than with the education consultants.
They helped me to convert my dream to reality. I suggest everyone to visit REN for reliable service. "

Factors affecting Visa Decisions

There are several factors that influences the visa decisions, Every country has policies to recruit positive profile students. The positive profile student means students with good academic record, IELTS score, continuous education, true and genuine supporting documents. On the other hand, visa rejections are mainly based on the following points;

1. Fake academic certificates,
2. Fake relationship certificates,
3. Fake employment testimonials,
4. Insufficient funds,
5. Medical problems,
6. Criminal history,
7. Past record, which means if students have applied with fake documents before and again, applies with genuine documents. The past record of falsification will be the cause of visa rejection.
8. Sometimes, students are taken interview over the phone, and if students are not able to answer the basic questions like, name of course, duration, content of the course, name of education provider, address of education provider, total income shown etc, results in visa rejection.

Suggestions

We do suggest students to make sure that the chosen course is of your interest and you want to excel career in the same field. It is also your responsibility to see the requirement and general instruction to the international students in the college/university website. It is better to focus on study rather than seeing the prospects of more income because you can make lot more when you complete the chosen area of your study.

Do not believe in fake promises given at every nook and corners of the street like visa guarantee, job guarantee, and admission guarantees.

We suggest you to do proper study before you apply to a country. Mainly thorough study is required regarding the education systems, part-time employment opportunities, your level of English to take part in teaching and learning process, your ability to adjust in foreign land and environment, climate, people and work culture. It obvious that when you go to study in English speaking country, you need to have good proficiency of English, thus, we advise you to improve your English excellence.
