Well,quick questions, why are are you going for holiday??
What do you do presently??
Have you been anywhere outside Nigeria aside ghana and togo, for holiday before??
Pls will like u to self evaluate yourself, u can go elsewhere for holiday, paris, Morocco etc... But first, get yourself into a school, that should be ur priority if truly ur intentions are sincere.
Personally,if i were the vo, might not approve u, why?? U came less than a year for F1, U were refused, no changes in ur circumstances, yet u wanna go for vacation to the states.. Why are u going for vacation to fhe states sef??
Pls dnt waste ur money, go elsewhere for vacation for this year if it's necessary, then if u still wanna school in US, go for F1 again, but if u lucky enough to get into a school in NIGERIA, good, go for it, then u can go for vacation in the US following year....
All the best dear

I'm a student here before I even applied for F1..im in
200 level..ive not been to anywhere but I have Tanzania visa on passport but I've not gone yet.

My F1 visa was refused this March...i wish to go and spend the holiday in the US this December..can this work?

TWoods:


Good luck getting a visa with that.

someone said it's red flag so i didnt bother

Chidinho10:


Red flag! Run from that school

wow oh ok

Hi, Guys i just got accepted to Iglobal University but i dont know how to go how to the mailing fee.

bestbian:


Which one is student-visiting? what you applied for is a tier 4 student visa right? My husband's case is a tier 4 dependent visa. I got my tier 4 visa but he was denied the dependent visa.

Sorry about that though...I was told i would stay for 6 months and after 6 months i will have to come back to nigeria and renew my visa. think its called shirt termed student visa...I applied for Tier 4 in the first place though..

bestbian:
. okay dear, I pray everything turns out positive for us all.

Amen o...Another University said i should do Student-visiting then come back after 6 months to renew but idk what to do yet cos of the AR

bestbian:


Hello dear, please when did you submit your AR? my husband submitted his since on the 3rd of November and we are yet to hear from them.

I submitted on the 19 of OCT.....

guiddoti:
Bro, I am not a consular to tell you what, the fact remains once you allowed them get red signal about you, you automatically pomped yourself into this. One of the reasons you should not allow anxiety take over you.

damn i didn't know.. i was just nervous

guiddoti:
You just watch and relax. No worries your head.
They will need proper background check on you but if you are genuine, no worries, bro.

Proper background check like?

I am writing to inform you that we are currently conducting further checks regarding your application and I will write to you again once these have been completed. I apologise for any inconvenience caused by the delay in sending you a substantive response.

I got this message today concerning my AR..Does it mean it going to take long or what?

OlowoB:
@darkmax,wait for the AR decision, at least wait till the end of this month before knowing next decision to take. I am sure you should get the AR decision before the end of this month.

Also find out if Swansea will give your money back if AR turns positive and you end up not coming again to the school.

[/b]The most important, pray that God should direct you, I can only advice as a mortal being based on how far I can see and my perceptions but God knows the end from the beginning[b]

Oh ok i will wait and keep praying..Thanks...I hope to share my testimony here soon.

guiddoti:
Are you filling new application for Coventry university? You will need wait for AR first before going further, bro.

I filled it already and got admitted. Now i just need to make payment to get CAS

OlowoB:


When is Coventry going to resume? If I get you correctly, you must have made payment to Swansea before now, have they returned your money? Why don’t you wait for the decision of the AR before making another payment To Coventry ?

If the AR turns positive, what will happen to your money with Swansea? You need to know their return policy when it comes to cash paid and visa granted so your money does not hang......some schools will not give you back your money if visa has been granted or they may take some percentage out of it.... and it could even take time to return money.... these schools like collecting money but before they give you back, na war .....please find out from Swansea o....

If Coventry will resume maybe middle or late January, I will say chill to know the AR decision with regards to Swansea. Since you applied for AR weeks ago, you should get the decision before the end of this month.

What I will just suggest is to have your money ready in the bank so that your 28 days would have been sorted out and then you can make the decision on which school to go for by last week of this month or 1st week in December . Even if the AR does not go in your favour (God forbid) you will just get your cas easily from Coventry cos your 28 days and money for initial deposit of school fees is available

Coventry resumption date is around January but what i really don't know is if Swansea would refund my money if eventually the AR comes positive. After my refusal they sent me refund form to fill and send back to them but my agent was able to convince them and infact they were about to issue to Second CAS but we did AR already.
Coventry is willing to help with student-visiting VISA. They said I would stay for 6 months in school and then renew my Visa because of the credibility test i failed at first.

guiddoti:
You should be aware that you can't use Swansea university's CAS for Coventry university. However, I would suggest you look January entry window, if any of these universities offer this option.

when is swansea university resuming? Don't you think classes would have begun?

Yes i Know i can't use Swansea Cas for coventry. Swansea wants to issue another CAS for January intake if i pass the administrative review which i have submitted some weeks ago. So i was thinking now that i have Coventry Admission, should i go on with payment so i can get the CAS?

OlowoB:


I will use the word challenging and not harder � but nothing is impossible (I believe in prayers, grace, favour etc). If you get a job from a company that sponsors international students, they will do all for you and you will stay back. There are still some people who do get jobs in UK, infact a friend just got a job and he studied in Caledonian university. I am only preparing people’s mind to the reality on ground that the chances are small. Students need to be strategic, chose the right school and course and apply very very early.

Find out sectors they need people here in UK, also find out which schools in that particular sector that most companies in UK recruit from..... that is a way to go about it. Some schools have the name, so you will just be left with getting a good grade and then it will be much more easier.

For example, If you want an oil and gas job in UK and you are thinking of studying in Scotland, then as a student, you have to first of all consider university of Aberdeen so as to get better chances. A graduate from uni of Aberdeen stand better chance than a graduate from UWS, Caledonian and even Strathclyde in the oil and gas sector.

I hope I answered your question.

[/b]For those already in UK, apply early, those coming in January, this is not to discourage you but rather plan ahead and put it in prayers before you come to UK, that God should settle your case[b]

[/b]Also please try and find the username umarwy, he gave some useful suggestions on finding work and staying back if you are studying in UK. Please read that post. Please check page 251[b]

In other news, why can’t I log in to Nairaland via my laptop? Any other person experiencing same?

I'm got admitted to swansea university but unfortunately i wasn't able to pass the credibility test during my visa interview. So i went for administrative review and today i just got another admission letter from Coventry University..Please what do u think i should do?

Please does school matters during visa interview..i chose American River College when i tried in march but now i'm not sure if i should do it again or choose a better school

OlowoB:


You were able to explain and you have submitted right? Then just go and pray, that’s all you can do now bro.

Asking for the success rate of AR might kill your faith and spoil your mood. Nothing can be done now apart from prayers. Have faith bro.

I have been doing that too..Thanks

OlowoB:


If you can prove that the reason you were initially denied was wrong and you back up with supporting documents, you will get your visa.

Don’t bother about success rate, just submit the right documents and you will get your visa. All the best.

They didnt allow more documents but i was able to explain

Hayzed212:
Okay, but based on people's comments on this type of issue, it doesn't have a specific time frame but not more than a month

What about the success rate?

Hayzed212:
Are you applying for Bsc degree or Masters degree?

BSC DEGREE.

jerrypeacelinks:


Read people's transcripts here and work on your lapses. Success in advance.

Thanks.

So i was bounced around May and i now i feel like reapplying ...any word of advice?

So i applied for Uk but failed credibilty test cos i was suppose to say neco but said waec. I said waec because I was asked what was my previous completed course and i misunderstood him thinking it was waec because i made my neco after my secondary school. So i thought he was talking about my secondary school then mentioned neco. I was refused cos of that..School didnt want to issue second cas in the first place but later they reconsidered but i already did an administrative review on 19 of october. Does anyone knows how long this would take? i made all the 40 points
