Other information 其他信息

How does Home Office/Immigration check your "established presence"?

1. From the documents submitted with the application, usually an education report at end of year, education progress report, attendance record, end of course certificates such as A levels, and/or, 
2. By Using Home Office IT systems (for example Criminal Investigation Department, CID and Central Reference System,CRS (used for immigration control)), and/or, 
3. By a telephone call to applicant's school, college or university.

Send the original certificate or results transcript for all qualifications which are listed in the 'Evidence used to obtain offer' section of your CAS. The only exception to this is if (source from policy 125 , page 31 of 93 in "Tier 4 Policy Guidance version 0/4/2015) of :

1.     if you studied the qualification in the UK and
2.     it is issued by a UK awarding body, and
3.     you have applied for your new course through UCAS, and
4.     your CAS is issued by a higher education institution who has Tier 4 Sponsor status, and
5.     you are applying for your visa in the UK.

++ - But take a printed copy of your CAS letter (form) which contains the word, "The following qualifications have been verified online....", to the section which says, "Qualifications which has given you admission to university_name", as well as a printed copy of the screen shot of your A level results online, take these two with you on your appointment day for visa appointment just in case someone asks you to explain your A level results which you just received but not yet on official certificate paper.

*** 'Low risk' (e.g. Hong Kong SAR) students do not need to send these documents, but should have them available in case the Home Office asks to see them.  但是英国内政部保留向其索要这些材料的权利。However this is unlikely that you will be asked unless an applicant is found to have a record on the Police National Computer (PNC) will be asked for evidence of their qualifications and money. (source of this information is from Page 28 of 182 pages of the Home Office's modernised guidance for staff assessing Tier 4 applications). But if a Hong Kong student applicant resides in China then this does not apply as applicant follows the rules in China.
