1. Weak Financial Proof
The consular officer must clearly see who is paying and that the funds are legitimate.
2. Unclear Academic Purpose
Your study plan must explain:
- Why that program?
- Why that school?
- Why that country?
- How does it fit your future?
3. Inconsistent Documents
Name mismatches, unclear bank statements, and missing pages — small errors can cause big issues.
How to Avoid Refusal
✔ Present strong, believable financial evidence
✔ Write a well-structured, clear Study Plan/SOP
✔ Double-check every document for accuracy
✔ Prepare well for interviews (if required)
A refusal is not the end.
With the right adjustments, many students get approved on the second attempt.
