Pakistani students applying for UK visa will face compulsory interview. The pilot study, which was carried out by the UK Border Agency, suggests that 40% of applicants for student visas from Pakistan are likely to prove ineligible for the document. The main reason will be their inability to speak English. At present, on the paper applications, 20% of Pakistanis applying for student visas are found to be ineligible.
