Refinements:

After generating your response, you may need to ask questions and refine the response to ensure more accurate and relevant results. Refining helps the AI better understand your specific needs, leading to more practical and tailored outputs. Here’s how you can refine the guide:

• Expand Visa Guidance: Ask the AI to provide more detailed visa requirements specific to [host country], such as common pitfalls during the visa application process and how to overcome them. → Example: “Can you provide more detailed information on the specific documents that commonly cause issues during the family reunification visa process?”
• Simplify Language for Accessibility: Request the AI to simplify the guide’s language to ensure it is easily understandable for students and their family members, regardless of their English proficiency. → Example: “Can you simplify the section on financial proof requirements so it is easier to understand for non-native English speakers?”
• Add Visual Aids: Ask the AI to include visual aids, such as flowcharts or checklists, to help students easily follow the visa application process. → Example: “Can you add a flowchart that visually outlines each step of the visa application process for family reunification?”
• Remove Irrelevant Information: If there are sections that may not apply to all students, ask the AI to remove them to keep the content concise and relevant. → Example: “Can you remove the section on rental agreements if it does not apply to students living in university accommodation?”
