I'll advice you start with a download of the first 5 episodes.

If you can't find a reason to continue after the 5th episode then it's probably not for you.

Congrats bro, do share your timeline and documents submitted with us.

bestdiddy:
Good morning my people

I trust we're all doing well.

Well, i've been pained and terribly heartbroken in recent days. Its really been tough since I got the disappointing news last week, But God has seen me through.

A few of you will probably know me from some of my comments and contributions made here. I just felt I should let you guys in on what has happened so far . . . it may be of help to someone.

Okay . . . I got admission to Deakin University (AL1) for a Masters in Business Analytics program to resume July 31, 2017.

I applied for the visa on June 15, 2017. Documents submitted are as follows:

1. Medicals submitted on June 22, 2017.
2. Academic documents including BSc certificate, WAEC, IELTS.
3. Resume
4. Employment letter dated Dec 15, 2011 evidencing my employment to one of the commercial banks in Nigeria.
5. Promotion letter.
6. Birth Certificate
7. Study Leave letter issued by my Bank
8. Registered Survey and Title documents of my land somewhere here in Lagos.
9. Salary Pay slips.
10. My Tax clearance letter showing my tax payments since I was employed.
11. Sworn Affidavit of sponsorship of my mom
12. My mom's school bank account statement, showing annual inflows of school fees payments.

My mom was my sponsor and she's the owner of a school here in Lagos. I provided incorporation documents, school fees receipts, notarised management account documents showing the revenue and expense profile of the school.

13. Title documents to a property owned by my mom which is rented out as well.
13. Rental receipts and account statement showing receipt of the rent annually.
14. Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) Statement.

If I can remember any other one, I will mention.

After the application on June 15th, the following occured.

July 15th . . . . No response yet from DIPB

August 15th . . . . No response. Sent an email and they replied saying the application was still under assessment.

At this point, I and my agent had to defer the admission. Deakin deferred the admission to November 6, 2017 and the new COE was uploaded on the IMMI portal.

September 15th . . . still no positive response. I sent an email and called to speak with the Case Officer. Case Officer said they were still carrying out internal checks.

October 15th . . . Still no response. Application still under assessment.

October 18th . . . I sent a mail informing the DIPB that I had been admitted to a University in the UK for an MBA program and I would appreciate a more detailed update on the application as I still prefer studying in the OZ.

October 20th . . . I got an email asking me to urgently provide a 3months updated employment letter and 3months updated salary payslips.

I immediately obtained the employment letter and payslips from the HR team in my Bank and uploaded same on October 22nd.

October 26th . . . I got an email asking me to provide my bank account statement. The statement was uploaded 4days later.

And Finally, on November 9, 2017 . . . I got a Student Visa Denied Decision Letter via mail. The reasons were stressed in the paragraphs below:

"while you have personal ties in Nigeria in the form of your immediate family, I find that these ties do not, of themselves, constitute a strong incentive to return home when considered against the fact that you are single and lacking strong employment or economic circumstances in Nigeria."

“I find that the course you are seeking to undertake seems inconsistent with your previous academics, but consistent with your employment background. However, as we cannot verify the existence of your employer and employment, I am unable to ascertain your position and cannot determine whether your intended studies will be of benefit to your future employment.



When I saw the above stated reasons, I was shocked and amazed. Tears rolled out of my eyes and I just couldn't comprehend what I was reading. I was at my desk in my office and didnt want to cause a scene, but people around me knew something was wrong. I cried and in my heart, I asked God . . . "but Oh Lord, you know I am employed. I am a full staff of a top commercial bank in Nigeria, and I never lied about my employment . . . neither did I fake any of my documents provided"

Immediately, my mind went to the verification part which made me contact my HR Team to confirm if they received a mail from DIPB and they didnt verify. HR said that they received a mail from the Internal Control of the Bank asking to confirm the authenticity of the updated employment letter which I uploaded on October 20th. They confirmed within 1hour to Internal Control.

I contacted Internal Control and Control said they received the mail from DIPB asking to verify the authenticity of the Updated Employment Letter and the Bank Account Statement. They received the mail by 12.45pm and verified and confirmed to DIPB by 4.30pm same day. I actually saw a copy of the mail . . . The words were . . . "Both the employment letter and account statement are hereby verified authentic and issued by us".

So what went wrong . . . where did I go wrong? . . . why was I denied on the basis of lack of verification of my employment and employer. My employer is a top bank with international presence that Google could easily confirm to them that this bank exists.

Internal Control subsequently sent them a mail attaching my denial letter stating that "our staff just informed us that he was denied on the grounds that he is not a GTE because his employment and employer could not be verified . . . But we confirmed his employment to you on Nov 3, 2017 in the attached mail".

DIPB responded that they acknowledge the mail and a processing officer will take this up, and advised that the applicant contacts his case officer.

I sent a mail subsequently to my case officer, highlighting the reasons and calmly pleaded that they review the decisison because when I got the letter, I had to take it up with my employers thinking they didnt verify my employment to DIPB, but I was informed that indeed my employers did.

I just got a response yesterday from DIPB stating that once a decision is taken, they cant revisit it. They added that they understand how frustrating it is, but they believe no error was made and they suggested that I can always re-apply if I choose to.

Reapplication however involves starting the entire process again because i would have to obtain another COE for a semester next year. Since school fees will increase, Deakin stated I have to provide another Bank account statement and that means the N13million in my account has to sit untouched in the account.

I really cannot go through that pain and stress again because of some other things I cant reveal here.

. . . And there goes my efforts to do my masters in Australia. Funny enough and in all honesty, I actually intended to use the qualifications to get a promotion in my bank but majorly to improve my chances of joining the likes of Mckinsey & Company or Bain & Company. Top consulting firms that recently entered the Nigerian business space. Its always been my dream to consult in such companies and why I will always come back is because I'm an Igbo man and I dabble into a lot of side businesses which I always enjoy doing. So even though there are better opportunities in OZ, I would always come back after my studies to strike deals or set up cross border trades between Nigeria and Oz.

Who am I even trying to convince here sef . . .

Anyways, its happened, I gave it my best shot, I suffered, I toiled and I spent a lot of money, but all I can say is that

. . . the race is not to the swift . . . time and chance happeneth to all men.

Thanks a lot my people, you guys have been awesome and I pray you hopefuls never experience what I went through last week. All the best.

Sorry to hear this bro, but I think the main problem is you going for an msc that's not related in any way to your previous bsc ,please do get refund of your tuition and apply into another university, with a course that's very related to your bsc .

Then reapply for visa, you will surely get it, just tackle those reasons bro, it's well

SAMBHOSS:

@icaSNg
Am a graduate of banking and finance, with a cgpa of 3.9/5.0. Will I be able to get scholarship in Ireland ,with that cgpa?
Is msc in finance ,very lucrative in Ireland.


Thank you!

dotcomnamename:


(1) While you are at college in Ireland you are entitled to work up to 20 hours per week in term time (part time), and 40 hours per week in holiday times.

(2) I don't get that. You mean quantitative finance or a general masters in finance/corporate finance? ICaSNg should be able to answer that in the other thread for Irish Student and Work Visa

Follow this thread for General Irish Student and Work Visa: https://www.nairaland.com/4056995/general-irish-student-visa-work

Thank you boss, I really appreciate

Yeah that's true, last ship is really dope. Have you watched blindspot ,homeland..

Got tired of teen wolves, Chicago PD. This movies are one way traffic..

Dalek:
Wayward Pines has been officially canceled by Fox...

oh thank God, after the bastards ruin season 2...

Thank God. Have you seen twisted, season 1 ?

Kaziar:

If you mean marvels the defenders then yes it isn't one of marvels finest and it is actually boring though some might find it tolerable(i do not).

It's kinda okay, but they lack idea in that film. The actors look clueless.

isaiah9:
they are trying too hard to make Sargent Wyatt act like Damion Scott

yeah, I noticed that too bro.

Have you seen defenders, season 1 ,last ship is just too dope .

Please anybody to suggest interesting series ..

Freciprocal:


It is worth watching... You wont regret it

“My name is Ryan Lopez. After my parents died, the Acostas and Los Angelicos took me in and raised me as one of their own. To protect them, I was asked to go undercover as a member of the LAPD. Now I must walk the line between cop and criminal without being exposed."
So true bro, have watched this film before. But the episodes were not complete then. Will download the remaining episodes


Most times the storyline would be wonderful, but no one would be able to interpret the roles better than Mike and Scott.

Mike Stonebridge is a proper British, a gentleman who places his job ahead of even family or relationship (Kim dey die for the guy yet imm nor gree chop. Scott for don chop the babe since ) .... while Darmien Scott is a typical american. Shoot first, ask later kind of guy with a very high libido and vulgar words.

You can see that both complemented each other.

Too early to judge the new guys, but they would be nowhere close to the Duo above

Yeah, have you seen wayward pines?
Defenders looks boring to me

Freciprocal:


Blindspot
Homeland
Banshee
Gang Related
24

Bro. What's your review about this gang related?
Just watched strike back season 6,even tho Damien Scott and stonebridge were not present, it was okay

The film i so much love, don't know any site that as d series, house of Payne, very funny household series.

Saw, strike back, season 6 on o2tv series, am downloading it already.

Please how do l know the cheaper states, l have actually googled and nothing came out of it

Well, you google cheaper schools not cheaper states.
Big cities offers big opportunities, the likes of Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Queensland.
