Normal application ooo

This people are playing with alot of people’s application both appeal and normal.

Jaypey21:
Hello, sorry to hear that
Please when did you apply for own
What date
Mine is since November 18
Nothing from the embassy at all

Appeal or normal application??

bigmills:
The recently rejected application was a re-application after the initial application was rejected in September 2025. I am not going through all that stress dealing with their incompetence of the Irish embassy visa officers anymore.

Can someone just brief me through UK study visa application especially how many month statement of account do I need to submit

iyemizee:
Omo. It’s over 6 months now that I submitted an appeal. These people haven’t still responded yet. Sent an email, but it’s still the same generic response

Iyemizee, I sent you a mail, pls kindly respond. I will need to ask you somethings

bigmills:
I resubmitted the same application from last year. The previous rejection cited three reasons: missing transcripts for all academic qualifications, no explanation for choosing Ireland as the preferred study destination, and unaddressed gaps between my last period of education and current employment. All of these were valid concerns, and every single one was fully addressed in the new application. It was still rejected and this time with entirely new reasons.



There is nothing more demoralising than doing exactly what was asked, fixing every flagged issue, and then watching them move the goalposts. It feels deliberately designed to wear you down. But that's precisely why we cannot give in.

What was their reason this time around

I understand and thats extremely painful. I think it’s now an avenue to just make money and is painful.. I heard alot of this stories and that why I refused to submit another application cause I’m tired, tapped out and demoralized. One of the main reason I left my appeal with them till whenever they say something on it.. Only few people are given this visa now and I wonder what they did right and what I did wrong. it is well

The same application you pulled last year to apply for fresh application @bigmills

bigmills:
I received a response from the embassy regarding my visa application, and unfortunately it was rejected on 5 grounds. What makes this particularly frustrating is that every single reason cited was thoroughly addressed with documentary evidence in my application.

For instance, one of the reasons given was insufficient employment information, yet I had submitted offer letters, reference letters, payslips from all my previous and current employments, promotion letters, and salary review documents.

Similarly, the rejection cited insufficient finances, despite the fact that I had provided evidence of school fees paid, a €10,000 bond secured, additional savings in my account, and confirmed accommodation arrangements in Dublin with supporting documentation.

Every reason provided by the embassy had clear, corresponding documentary evidence included in my application. This raises serious concerns about the transparency and consistency of the decision-making process. It is difficult not to question whether these rejections are being used as a tool to broadly restrict immigration, rather than being based on a genuine assessment of individual applications.

I’m sorry about that bigmills




Thats what they do now. When I got my rejection last September, everything they said I didn’t do, I did… link to sponsor, insufficient funds, the course I did for bsc doesn’t correlate with the course I choose for masters(mind you I did Mass communication and going for human resources management which I included proof of how they align), failure to submit previous visa denial letters.. mind you I submitted all these things with proof but was rejected. Everything is just a ruse now.

iyemizee:
Yes I have requested for it to be withdrawn

Hi, how long did it take for you to get it and was it touched at all

iyemizee:
Yes I have requested for it to be withdrawn

Only God knows how fast a new application will be for September intake with all the rubbish they are doing

bigmills:
Documents still under review since January 5

A very slow and crazy system

bigmills:
Nothing Major yet.

Anything on your side bigmills??

iyemizee:
From September to January to April. I will withdraw the appeal. Yes, I sent emails with the documents and even via DHL. Do you know how long it takes to receive my passport back?

I want ask if you’ve withdrawn your application

I think the same thing is happening with me. Got my refusal august 18th, submitted an appeal September 22 which was queued in Oct 2nd on their portal. By then I had deferred my admission to January and nothing came out by January and then deferred again to April(DBS). Judging by your own time frame, it’s nearly impossible to get this before resumption April. IRELAND processing is bleeped. It usually doesn’t take long to get the passport back.

iyemizee:
I submitted on August 11 bro

Bleep!!! Thats 8 months already and you’ve heard nothing…. Thats crazy.

When did you initially deferred to and did you communicate it to the embassy?

iyemizee:
Omo. It’s over 6 months now that I submitted an appeal. These people haven’t still responded yet. Sent an email, but it’s still the same generic response

When exactly did you submit, cause I’m on appeal too and I submitted last week of September and nothing yet

bigmills:
Yours is appeal?Isn't it?

Bigmills, any update??

List is out
Anyone who’s on the list should keep us updated pls

bigmills:
Yours is appeal?Isn't it?

Tbh, I’m not even expecting a response to that this early but I have friends with normal applications submitted in October that haven’t heard anything

bigmills:
Okay.
I don't even think they are following order of submission.
I know someone that submitted November 6 at VFS and landed last week here.

I don’t think they are. I know of someone that submitted nov 15 and his in Ireland already while someone from October including myself haven’t heard anything

Everybody don dey Ireland😅😅

Good Morning everyone,

I collected my visa today from DHL and glory to God it has been approved.

After 16 weeks of waiting, i thank God. I pray everyone who is awaiting news will hear goodnews soon.

DHL messaged me on whatsapp on friday evening notifying me that my passport was on its way back to lagos from abuja, i went to pick it up this morning from their office.

I wish you all the best and thank you very much for sharing your updates with me.

Glory be to God Kayla, I'm so happy for you and congratulations. Pls give us the time frame in which you submitted and was it an appeal or normal application. Once again congratulations dear, wishing you a safe trip to Ireland.
