Appointments
The International Student Advisory Team offer appointments in person or online via MS Teams. Appointments are released up to two weeks in advance of the appointment dates. Only available appointment slots will display. If you were unable to find a suitable available appointment slot and need to speak to someone urgently, please contact immigration@reading.ac.uk. We offer 3 types of appointments:
Quick Immigration Advice (25-minute appointment)
This appointment can be booked if you have any questions about your visa or your visa conditions, for example:
- Working conditions
- Correcting mistakes on your Visa
- Adding/removing a work placement or Study Abroad year
- Withdrawal of Student visa sponsorship
- Course changes/suspending studies implications
- Graduate route eligibility
- eVisa queries
- Visa application requirements
- Checking a translation/bank statement
Please note that we cannot provide advice on Indefinite Leave to Remain, asylum, work visas (other than the Graduate route), or visas for other countries.
Visa Application and Supporting Document Check (45-minute appointment)
If you are making a Student or Student dependant visa application, then you should have your application and supporting documents checked by one of our Immigration Advisers. This should be done before you pay and submit the application. You will need to have completed the visa application form and have the supporting documents available for checking. These can be either printed or held digitally on a screen which can view the documents easily (not on a phone device).
Student Experience – non immigration (30-minute appointment)
Book this appointment type with our International Student Experience Manager if you have questions not related to visas and immigration.
This could be for anything that is concerning you, including but not limited to, concerns surrounding fraud, bank accounts, homesickness, healthcare queries, and understanding UK culture.
