Patiala sends two kinds of UK applicants: parents visiting children settled in Southall, Leicester and Birmingham, and Punjabi University and Thapar graduates heading for a master's. The visitor files are sponsor-led and fail on the sponsor's own documents more than on the applicant's; the student files fail on the 28-day bank balance and on the credibility interview, where a Patiala applicant who cannot explain why Coventry rather than Punjabi University is refused. The desk sits on Nabha Road and sees the same bank branches, the same arhtiya income records and the same land registry extracts week after week, so the ties evidence is built from documents the Patiala tehsil actually issues.

Biometrics are at VFS Chandigarh, not in Patiala; book the slot before the Home Office form is submitted so the date falls inside the 28-day window for the maintenance statement.
