[ 主持人 ]: 123456rgu 问了一个亲属签证的问题：“我的女儿跟丈夫很难同时获得亲属签证，我听说我的女儿只获得旅游签证，那她如何在英国学习，以及怎么办签证延期呢?我们真的不想移民英国，为什么总是怀疑我们呢?
[ 签证官 ]:Students are allowed to take their dependants to the UK so long as you have enough funds to maintain and accommodate them adequately. There should be no problem for you if those requirements are fulfilled. Your wife and child can apply either together or separately it makes no difference.
(如果你有足够的资金来维持你女儿的学费跟生活费，学生是可以获得英国的亲属签证的。如果这些要求满足了获得签证是没有问题的。你的妻子跟孩子可以同时获得签证或者分开来办，没有什么不同的。)
[ 主持人 ]: 这是 vivyan 的另外一个问题：我可以用有英国大学的有条件录取通知书来申请学生签证吗?
[ 签证官 ]:Of course but you should also submit evidence that those conditions have been (or will be) met .
( 当然，但是你要提供证明哪些条件你符合的证据。)
[ 主持人 ]: Tigerhu613 提出一个好问题：听说英国国家内政部和使馆在研究 2007 年的移民法政策的变化，请问是真的吗?会有什么变化?
[ 签证官 ]:The UK Government wants to encourage genuine students to come to study in the UK. It also wants to encourage some of those to stay in the UK for employment after their studies are completed such as under the “Fresh Talent” Scheme for Scotland and the “Science and Engineering Graduate Scheme”. More information on these and other matters can be found at the following websites:
(英国政府是鼓励真正的学生到英国学习的，同时也鼓励学生在英国完成学业后参加如 “ 苏格兰新天才计划 ” ， “ 理工科毕业生培养计划 ” 等，就可以留在英国工作。
[ 签证官 ]:One of the major proposals is for a points-based scheme that will provide a more transparent, objective and simplified process. It will allow students to check on-line before they apply (and therefore before they have paid any money) whether or not they have enough points and are likely to qualify for a visa.
其中一个主要的提案是“ 计点积分制系统” ，目的是提供更透明，更客观和更简单的流程。学生将可以在申请之前先在网上查询(因此在这之前不需要付任何费用)，看自己是否有足够的积分以获得签证。
[ 主持人 ]: Tiger613 有个问题：如果在英国学习的预算是 25 万人民币，而我只有 23 万，我可以申请签证吗?
[ 签证官 ]:Dear Tigerhu, I have already explained that there is no need to have all the money up front. If you can satisfy us that you or your sponsor have the means to meet the difference that is fine. You would need to explain where the other 20,000 would come from.
Tigerhu ，我已经解释过，你不需要先准备好所有的钱。只要你能让我们确信你或者你的资助人有办法支付所有的费用即可。同时你需要解释其余的 20 ，000 元从哪来的。
[ 主持人 ]:tigerhu613: 问题的答案也可以在 www.educationuk.org.cn 上找到相关的中文新闻稿 。
[ 主持人 ]: Sln83 问：如果我在广州申请学生签证需要面试吗?还是我只是需要提交申请跟相关材料就行了?
[ 签证官 ]:All applications are now considered based on the “papers” alone. Very few applicants are required to attend for an interview. You will only be called in for an interview if we find ourselves unable to make a decision based on just your application form and supporting documents.
现在所有的申请都是根据 “ 文件(资料) ” 来考虑 ，很少人需要面试。只有当我们没办法通过你的申请和相关文件决定是否批准你的签证时，才会让你来面试。
[ 主持人 ]: Cabbagecai 问：学生的叔叔或婶婶可以成为资助人吗?
[ 签证官 ]:Of course – anyone can be your sponsor. But the Entry Clearance Officer would have to be satisfied that your sponsor genuinely intends to pay your costs.
当然，任何人都可以成为资助人，但是你需要证明让签证官确信你的资助人愿意为你支付费用。
[ 主持人 ]: 123456rgu 认为通过代理申请签证比自己申请容易通过。他想知道问什么。 Andrew, 你可以回答吗?这是真的吗 ?
[ 签证官 ]:There are many agents – some are good and some are bad. Some are awful. Our Visa Application Centres www.ukvac.cn can also give you advice on what you need to submit if you wish to apply for a student visa. It is up to you whether or not you wish to use an agent. If you do wish to use an agent you should exercise extreme care to make sure you use a good one.
现在有很多中介公司，有好的也有坏的，还有非常差的。我们的签证申请中心 www.ukvac.cn 可以给你提供一些关于你要提交什么材料申请学生签证的建议。是否需要请中介公司由你自己来决定。如果你确定要请的话，你需要特别小心，并确认你用的是一个好的中介公司。
[ 签证官 ]:All applications are considered equally and in the same way regardless of whether or not submitted by an agent.
所有的申请都会以同种方式被公平地处理，不管是你自己申请还是通过中介申请。
[ 主持人 ]: Andrew, 最后你可以给那些要去英国读书的学生一些申请签证的建议吗?
[ 签证官 ]:Firstly I would recommend the UK as a place to study. My advice to any potential student would be to make sure you research your studies as much as possible so that you choose the course that is right for you. Then decide whether or not you can afford it. Make sure that you have chosen a course that you will be able to pursue and check that if you do not have adequate English yet, that you have arranged a suitable and adequate English study plan first (either here or in the UK). When you apply for a visa submit evidence of your current level of education and as much evidence as possible of your sponsor's financial and economic circumstances. Then good luck.
首先我想推荐英国是一个非常适合学习的地方。我对所有想去英国学习的学生的建议是，在你选择课程之前尽可能对你的课程进行研究，以便确定它是否适合你。然后看自己的财力是否可以负担得起。再确保自己有能力完成你所选的课程。如果英语水平不够好，就先安排一个恰当的英语学习计划(在国内或英国都可以)。当你提交签证申请时，请提供你目前的教育水平的证明和尽可能多的关于你的资助人经济财务状况的证据。最后祝你们好运。

[ 主持人 ]: 今天的访谈就到此结束，再一次谢谢 Andrew 和大家的参与!祝大家好运!
