How Maria Switched Countries and Secured a UK Study Visa

Maria Sultana had already spent a semester studying in Turkey, but she wasn’t satisfied with the education system, language barriers, and lack of future career opportunities. She wanted a fresh start in the UK—but switching countries mid-journey isn’t always simple.

With Anfal International’s expert guidance, she successfully transitioned her international study plan and secured a UK student visa in record time.

🌍 The Situation: Mid-Course and Unsure

Maria had enrolled in a Bachelor’s program in Istanbul. However, within the first six months:

• She struggled with the Turkish language

• Classes lacked international-standard structure

• She saw limited job prospects post-study

“I felt stuck. My family had spent so much, and I wasn’t sure what to do next.”

🤝 Anfal’s Strategic Plan

When Maria contacted Anfal, we evaluated her full profile and developed a custom strategy:

• Explained her previous study experience in SOP with honest reasoning

• Recommended career-focused universities in the UK (like University of Greenwich)

• Ensured her academic continuity was justified clearly

🧾 Key Documentation Support

Switching countries meant Maria had to prepare some complex documents:

• Gap Explanation Letter detailing why she left Turkey

• Updated Financial Documents from her family in Bangladesh

• Course Mapping showing how her UK course aligned better with her goals

🎤 Interview & Visa Success

We trained Maria extensively for her credibility interview, especially to answer:

• Why she left Turkey

• Why the UK was a better fit

• How her new course aligned with her career

Result? Visa approved in 11 working days!

🎓 New Beginnings in the UK

Maria is now pursuing Business & Marketing in the UK and works part-time at an international retail brand.

“Anfal didn’t just process my papers—they understood my story. That made the real difference.”
