I am interested in applying for a Graduate Route visa, how soon can I apply?

 

You must not submit your graduate route application until you have received an email from the UKVI Compliance Office confirming that a report has been made to the UKVI. 

The report will confirm to the UKVI that you have successfully completed your course. Any application submitted before this report is made is likely to be refused.

This report does not mean you are eligible for a graduate visa, that is a judgement and decision that the UKVI will make according to the rules of that visa route. 

The reports are actioned soon after your course is officially changed to 'Successful completion' status on your student record.

You will receive your results before the student record is updated formally so it is important that you do not submit an application until you receive the email telling you that a report has been made.

Please be aware that there may be a delay of a few days between receiving your result and receiving an email from us.

You can only apply for this route if you do not intend to study another course in the UK. 

If you are an undergraduate student who has completed your course of study, you may receive an email but if you intend to study a postgraduate course in the UK you should apply for a new Student visa.
