Travel / Re: USA Employment-based Immigration (EB-1,EB-2,EB-3 Visa) by Arinze001(m): 6:00pm On Mar 17
Hi all,

I am about to start the Eb2 NiW application. I have a master’s in business analytics and strategic marketing in Norway and currently working as a data analyst on Norway with 2 months experience.

I am planning on taking the premium processing route but the only challenge is the waiting time.

1) what does this waiting time mean after approval?

2) Does the waiting time affect me after getting an approval, since I am in Norway and not Nigeria.?
Travel / Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 8 by Arinze001(m): 11:58am On Jun 13, 2023
Hi all,

I paid GBP 3000 to sheffield Hallam university as an initial deposit amount and was issued CAS.

Along the way, I changed my mind and wanted a refund but they said I can’t get a refund because I wasn’t deny visa and I didn’t ask for the refund within the 14 days cooling period.

Please how can I get my money back or maybe 50% of it? Which financial or legal institutions in Europe or UK can I send an email to that can help me?


Thanks

@Arinze001, nwanne you have been feeding us with invaluable info. God will continue to bless you.

My question to you and others is this:
My CGPA is 2.8/5 (Bsc.)
and 4.07/5 (Msc.) due in September,2021.

If I'm applying for a PhD program, will my Bsc CGPA be a drawback to gaining admission as a PhD student?

Thank you.

I don't really know much about PHD but I think with your MSC score + publication(s). It's fine.

You can checkout these sites
Findaphd and jobbnorge.

Best of luck!

Multiple jobs?
I thought students are only expected to work for 20 hours per week and full time during holidays.


During study period, 20hrs

During holz, unlimited. They got the multiple jobs during the holidays.

Hello thank you for this.
Its no news that Norway is an expensive country to live in and Covid made getting jobs even harder everywhere in the world.
My question goes thus: What is the situation rn in Norwegian cities like Bergen and Oslo for International students who need part time jobs? Are they easy to get ?
Furthermore what kind of jobs should we expect and the hourly pay rate ?
I really need answers to all this in order to adequately prepare myself for what is to come.
Please all contributions are welcome.
Thank you in advance



Firstly, I'm not in Norway yet. Hopefully, I would be there late August max.

For jobs, my friends studying in Norway have multiple student-jobs paying their bills.

Let's go with a positive mindset that it will work out well for us by God's Grace!

Please for the October applications, when is school resuming?

I'd love to also know how long the whole process takes. From Application up to visa and travelling.

Thank you.


Heisann Alle (Hello Everyone)!

I will be attending to intelligent and researched questions about Norway. I started the application last fall (some schools start October, most November, few December and January). I applied to 3 schools (received 2 admissions) but deep down wanted my top priority school which I got - University of Stavanger.

Let me talk about Universities' applications: Most Norge universities exempt Nigerians from submitting an English Proficiency test 'cept for University of Oslo and University of Southern Norway (the latter was the school that gave me a rejection though it was envisaged, I have no ielts or TOEFL). My advise is to go for the schools that exempt Nigerians from the ielts and TOEFL test, but, if you've it, it's a PLUS.
For most schools, we are to courier our transcript to the host university. It's part of the application.
The last is the block sum of NOk 126357 which we are to submit through a bank statement showing you've the sum + an accompanying sponsor's letter (for those that are being sponsored - like me).
CGPA requirements: On their websites, they indicated the minimum requirement to be 2:1. In practical, that's not really the case. Norway and other EU countries use the ECTS arrangement which means if you studied English as an undergrad, you're to continue that way. You can't apply for an MSc. In Artificial Intelligence or msc. In Applied Finance and Analytics. Most people got a rejection because they acted funny. I know someone that studied Economics with a 2.94 that applied for an Msc. In Economics that got accepted likewise someone that got 2.74 in Philosophy that also got accepted for MSc. In related course. That's the secret, no CROSS-CARPETING lol

This is all for the study application phase.

The Waiting Period
This is the period where we have to wait for feedbacks vis-à-vis our applications. The waiting period differs from schools and programmes. Some got admission in early February, some in early and late March, some April, extreme cases in May.
After you've gotten an admission, the next step is to transfer the NOk 126,527 you presented during the application to the host school. We all used FORM A, getting official USD rate from the Central Bank. I'll advise everyone to use USD if in Nigeria as your transacting currency to avoid bogus conversion charges. After paying the sum and you've received a Confirmation of Deposit from the Host university, you immediately apply for your study visa + residence permit which comes with a Schengen sticker.

Visa Process.
Norge's visa process is pretty seamless, no long wait period, no interview except rare occasions, no calling on the phone to book an appointment or whatsoever. It's super fast - easy to get an appointment date and the documents to submit are readily available.

Note: You receive your Nok 126,357 immediately you've gotten a Norwegian bank account and you receive all. It's not like others where you receive it monthly. So, one could do as he/she pleases with his/her received money.

I think that's all.

Ser du i norge (See you in Norway)!

thanks very much bro!

A friend also had 3.48cgpa/5.0 with a 3 years professional certificate related to his first degree and the intending master degree

Please does he have any chance?

Thanks!


There's hope. Professional certs are not really asked. It depends on what the said school requested.

As you said, the proposed MSC programme is akin to what he did as an undergrad. He should scale through. Someone that had a 2.95 cgpa got accepted last month. Baba dey JP now lol

Tell him to apply to numerous schools.

2) NTNU said by late April referencing from an Intel that emailed the admissions team.

Thanks a lot for your swift response

I thought not all schools requested for IELTS as part of their requirements?

Are you saying a 2.2 product should write IELTS irrespective of the school just as a backup to complement the class of Degree?

Thanks!


If your school didn't request for ielts, you don't have to write ielts.
I assume he gave the ielts advise just to make you more competitive in the admission process and have wider options.

Above all, apply for an MSc course you did as an undergrad and be hopeful.

The best bet is applying for what you did as an undergrad.

Speaking from experience and having to live in the Nordic country for 20years plus would kindly advice those who are aiming for a professional jobs to seek for that in a more sociable and English speaking countries. Don’t let the free education fool you, life in Nordic countries is hard and for an educated mind working as a cleaner isn’t really empowering if you ask me ..

Nice-nice!

But you lived in the Nordic region for 20 years comfortably, how come?

Some people are using Norway as a first stop in their itinerary plans, and if Norway provides comfortability for one, the person will definitely stay. I know you wouldn't agree more.

To sum up, destinies are different. We pray for grace.

UDI claimed the strict travel restrictions enforced on the 29th of January, 2021 prevents student from entering.
So I guess my application was not completed before then.

[quote author=ikswiss post=100380934]I should also mention that Finnish universities require tuition fees now

I'm 100% aware. There are scholarships segmented into 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% of tuition fees. Your bet should be 100%, thereby, documenting for only living allowances.

If you get 75%, it's also fair.

Good morning landers... happy new month..
I have a question about norway master's degree program...the next opening of portal against 2022 admission is in November..
What about those that are graduating by December 2021 according to school calendar, can we register for admission with out transcript.. because transcript will never be ready by then...


Some schools (very few) close application portal by January. I think it depends on how fast your school processes results and how digital they're. If they're kinda fast like Unilag or some private universities, you can upload your student copy and make a swift preparation on how to parcel an official copy to the host university.

I'll advise you write ielts, if possible, then you can spread your tentacles to Finland. Finland application comes up every January.

I think the conditions are different and country-related. If you're a UAE citizen, I think there's hope with reference to what I saw on the websites which I've attached.

For a Nigerian, I even checked Ghana, it's the same condition. It's difficult to get a BSc study permit except rare circumstances. I've attached a weblink for your perusal.
