I was block from posting on this platform. My offence was because someone here asked about University of Law, and I said ULaw is a good, they gave me offer, but because I don't want to attend a private sch, I did not continue with. This is my personal decisions. It does not in anyway belittle private Universities. I am known here as @Patnuel2015.
Well I had to create another account.

Biometrics 6th of dec (priority)
Collection mail : 14th mail.
Awaiting dependant application
Biometrics was done on 9th of dec(standard)
.

I asked a question about uploading wrong statement but got no response on here. While applying a wrong statement was mistakenly uploaded instead of the recent, tho the statement is genuine and still have its money intact, it wasn’t what we wanted to upload as we wanted to upload a statement that also include dependant maintenance. It was really worrisome cos I read on here an applicant that got denied cos dependant money wasn’t included in his pof even-though the dependant wasnt going with him immediately.. so I had to latee send a paid mail and also sent the recent statement to Sheffield team even though they didn’t request that from me on the 8th.I also called them on the 12th only to be told the decision was already made on the 9th.
Not sure if they got the mail or not...God is awesome.
Kindly double check your applications before submitting or uploading.

Timeline!!! May God’s name be praised

First time writer. If you notice my name, you will observe the Canada tag on it. I was denied a Canada student visa in October 2021. It was really devastating because the reason for the refusal wasn’t sensible as I was the sponsor of my elder brother who got his visa July but I was refused based on personal asset and financial status despite having 20m in my account, lands and 4 houses, only to find out in my gcms note they misrepresented the sponsor for my parents meanwhile I was the one sponsoring myself probably because of my age lol as I’m just 25. Anyways I reapplied and still waiting for their response. Fast forward to November, I took the alternative option and started my uk application.

Applied to the university of Sunderland - 5th of November
Got admitted- 9th of November (submitted my transcripts of 4.29 cgpa, ielts and certificate)
Did a walk in tuberculosis test and got it done on the same day 12th of November (just walk in and try your best, there’s no harm in trial, I did it and I got it done)
Tution Payment of 3500 pounds with Citibank, 24hours my telex was out (16th of November)
Sunderland CAS request and questinonaire 17th -30th November)
Sunderland issued my CAS on the 1st of December
Applied on the 2nd of December (Walk in Service paid the 42k for that, Priority, Vi centre)
Transferred to DMC on the same 2nd of December
No NSF mail
No additional documents, No dependant either Passport Collection request 2:pm 13th December 2021 document pick up same day 13th December.

Declared my Usa visitor visa refusal of 2018 and two Canada refusal (visitor and student, 2018 and 2021 respectively).

In all I give thanks to God and I congratulate everyone who has gotten their visas. Special thanks to all those who have contributed in one way or the other for others to have a successful application.

Nb: DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED
