Pre-CAS Interview
A Pre-CAS Interview is an interview conducted before a university issues the CAS
(Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) letter for a UK student visa.
The purpose is to check your genuine intention to study and avoid visa refusal.

CAS Interview (Credibility Interview)

A CAS Interview, also called a Credibility Interview, is a part of the UK student visa process.
It usually happens after receiving your CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) and
before or during your visa application.

CoS (Certificate of Sponsorship)

A CoS (Certificate of Sponsorship) is an official document issued by a UK employer or


sponsor organization to a foreign worker who wants to apply for a UK work visa (like the
Skilled Worker Visa).

It is not a physical certificate – it’s an electronic record with a unique reference number.

Visa Filing
Visa filing means submitting your visa application along with all required documents to the
embassy or visa center of the country you want to visit (e.g., for study, work, or travel). It is a
crucial step in going abroad legally.
