Portex:
What documents did you submit before?

Work-wise? None. As my consultant told me that it is not a requirement to show/prove your employment status but appears they’d like to know what have you been doing all these years which I totally understand. Other than that, I submitted my degree certificate, transcript, proof of language, CAS, offer letter, scholarship letter, bank statement, dependant-related documents etc.

Hi Nairalanders!

I applied for a study visa (for postgraduate degree) 2 days ago and today I received an email requiring additional documents about my activities/my study gap since my graduation in 2014. I have been thinking about adding my social insurance documents (from the governmental body, so it’s possible to verify) showing my full-time employment for the past years. However, I worked as a full-time employee but also as a freelancer, on an off basis during this time. So, about the freelancing part, I’m thinking about adding some invoices/purchase orders etc to prove my earnings and writing a statement explaining my employment situation and activities. Do you think that would be enough for granting the visa and resolving any concerns they might have about my situation? Other than that all my documents are well-prepared.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and insights about this. Thank you!
