No response yet, how about you?

Any update?!

How far? Gotten any response after submitting supplementary documents?

NeeYoh:
My application status has changed to "In Progress" and I was requested to submit some supplementary docs/give clarifications.

They just asked me for supplementary docs. Only bank statements.

Anyone gotten a decision yet? I hope nobody bought insurance from Mutual Benefit? I didn't buy from those guys. Don't buy from them, you may regret it.

Any good news? What's up?

The usual... Just remember what you told them during the interview...

NeeYoh:
Bank statement, source of funds, payslip, tax payments for me, my sponsor and sponsor's business.

Thank God o. I am hopeful that all will be fine. In the supplementary documents and clarifications... Which areas are they asking you? Insurance? Bank statement or source of funds?

NeeYoh:
My application status has changed to "In Progress" and I was requested to submit some supplementary docs/give clarifications.

23rd of July.

When was your interview?

I have had 5 kids and counting but my status on enter Finland still reads "Waiting for processing". Oh boy, the thing dey tire person o.

NOPE! but you may get a tuition scholarship.

chiboy1116:
is undergraduate studies for int'l student still free ?

Hello, has your status change or we need to start sending emails even though they say it won't make them work faster?

NeeYoh:
No decision yet nor request for supplementary docs.

Has anyone heard from Migri recently? Anyone who had their interview in July or June?

Please do tell. What are the challenges, and how did you overcome them?

presiade:


You'll still have a chance in some US and Canadian universities, just try to engage in some research activities and maybe submit articles for publishing. Just avoid coming to Finland, If you must travel out of Nigeria... Just a brotherly advice for you. I have been there (though I have a good experience due to over smartness), but I see what people pass through, but most of them won't tell you what they experience in order not to discourage you.

Google o... Most people don't carry the lists in their head. You could read from page 0 of this thread.

Ralphbrowny:
Please homies which school in Finland can I study computer science for undergraduate in English.. I have done my ielts exam, so I want to take d next step into applying. I really need a reply please

Any news from those who already attended their interviews? How did it go? Any unusual question?

It's almost like no one is going to FINLAND for studies anymore.

Okay....... Do you know of anyone who borrowed money from a bank and used it to process Finland RP?

sirkezman:
Loan from official sources e.g banks and lending houses are considered secured source of income because there is official documentation but borrowing from people isn’t considered as being secure

How? Please clarify

sirkezman:
They consider it secured.

Borrowed money = source of sustenance not secured.

sirkezman:
well, even if the money was borrowed, you just need a payment plan.

Encouraging, thanks.

sirkezman:
yes there are Part Time jobs. might be difficult to get at first but you'll survive. some people 'rush' their courses and move to helsinki to work for the summer and raise enough funds for their permit renewal, some get good paid internships in school or elsewhere, either way, you will survive.

Anyone. Euro, Naira, pounds or a mix... As long as it adds up to 6720 euro or more.

jiigga:
thanks @ AEBOIY...

thanks @ KOFOIRONIC...



Does the cash in the account need to be all in EUROS ? or NAIRA is fine too by them ?



If u may, please respond..
thanks much !

Where did the 'Dumped money' come from? That is what they will be most concerned about... If it is from your sponsor (parents or whoever) How did the sponsor get the money? .... They will look at the paper trail.... Did the sponsor borrow the money they gave you? They'd look at all that....... Just have the paper to show the money was not borrowed and where it is gotten from can be proven.

jiigga:
hello room, im new on here, please if i may ask a quick question. thanks.

when applying a finnish study visa, is it ok to bring a PARENT'S bank statements as the means of finances ??


IF NOT,
how is their MONEY-DUMPING policy? i.e. lets say prior to applying, its been only a couple thousands/transactions in my account.. now, all of sudden, its 2-3 million naira in the account.

do they go with the flow or they object on it? sayin its money-dumpin ?


if i may get a response on these, it will be appreciated ..
thank u guys.

Yanganbiwa:


Interview went well. Like I said earlier, be honest with them and most questions are from ur OPE_1 form.
Supplementary is sent to migri eservice.
Know ur course module, where ur school is located, name of ur school, why Finland, where will the degree earned be used in the future, etc.
I do not have all the questions but it's sth that u can relate to.
Be honest when u are asked if u have been denied visa b4. Also if u are self sponsor like me, be ready to explain most large sum of money paid into ur account.

I wish u all the best.
When is ur appointment wit the embassy?

What exchange rate did you use and how many naira is enough?

For a 2 and a half year course in Finland, what insurance did you buy? from what company?
For how many years was the insurance for?

I am trying to avoid mutual benefits Assurance....

This is for the people who already study in Finland. How did you get money to renew your residence permit? Could you find a Job? Is your second year a sad experience?

Please answer. The Finland Forum paints a depressing picture.

Here we are again....
So, I got a rejection last year September. My residence permit wasn't granted because, my means of sustenance was not secure.

I got a better job afterwards. I will no longer be asking my mother to sponsor me. All the funds is from me, and this time I got a 50% scholarship, unlike last year, it was a hundred. So I will be paying tuition and will still have up to 7000 euros left. But fear still dey catch me... For those who got a residence permit, what did you do differently?

Thank you.

As such a benefit is not regarded as the cost of replacing social benefits. Aliens Act § 36 subsection 2 of the residence permit may be refused if there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the alien intends entry or to circumvent the provisions relating to residence in the country. The applicant has submitted a report livelihood Guaranty Trust Bank bank account statement, according to which the applicant's account balance has been 24/7/2017 2 700 111 Nigerian nairaa ie approximately EUR 7289. 07.24.2017 Account is a deposit of 2 700 000 nairaa. The applicant has stated in an interview with the Mission 14.08.2017 resources from 1 (4) brother working at Diamond Bank - wage income. The applicant is given an account of his brother's livelihood Diamond Bank bank account statement (0016860774) time period 1 January to 19 July 2017. The account has been scarce resources before the account is a deposit of 19.07.2017 3 035 506 nairaa. The applicant has reported in an interview Representation transfer from the brother of the savings account. The application is connected to Diamond Bank and the brother of himself drawn letters with brother has announced its commitment to the applicant to cover the cost of living in Finland. The applicant has annexed to its application at the request of the Delegation brother of Diamond Bank savings bank account statement (003881478) time period 1 January to 31 July 2017. Account rate of 132 020 nairan monthly salary paid. The account has been scarce resources before the account is a deposit of 19.07.2017 1 000 000 nairaa shola adeniji under the name, 1 000 000 nairaa bello abayomi under the name of and 1 000 adama juliet name. the same day the account is transferred to the 3 035 506 nairaa brother to another account. The account balance has been nairaa 5899 until the account has been deposited 07.21.2017 under the name of olatunji adegoke 1 000 000 24/07/2017 nairaa and nephews at 1 700 000 nairaa, which is transferred to the account of the applicant 2 700 000 nairaa. Conclusions The residence permit will not be granted, since there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the applicant's intention to circumvent the provisions relating to entry within the meaning of the Aliens Act § 36 subsection 2 ways. The applicant has submitted implausible and contradictory evidence the origin of funds deposited tilileen. The applicant is told by funds from his brother's wage income. on the basis of a report submitted by the applicant is not credible that a brother could secure the livelihood of the applicant's own salary income in Finland. Brother's accounts did not have sufficient funds to the applicant's financial support before the brother of a savings account is a deposit of 07.19.2017 1 000 000 nairaa shola adeniji under the name, 1 000 000 bello abayomi under the name of and 1 000 000 nairaa adama juliet - mark. the same day the account is transferred to the 3 035 506 nairaa brother to another account. The account balance has been nairaa 5899 until the account has been deposited 07.21.2017 under the name of olatunji adegoke 1 000 000 24/07/2017 nairaa and nephews at 1 700 000 nairaa, which is transferred to the account of the applicant 2 700 000 nairaa. It is not credible that a large time deposits placed with the brother's account, some of which have been made by private individuals were in fact his wage income, while salary is paid directly to the brother's account. Nor is it plausible that the brother would have increased the wage income from his account, they kept the cash and then deposited back into their account just before the transfer of assets to the applicant. the origin of the brother's account of funds transferred to the account of the applicant could not be sure. In addition, given that the net pay, according to the brother of a statement of account is only 1 584 240 nairaa a year, it is not credible that a brother could give the equivalent of nearly two years wages by the amount available to the applicant. The applicant has submitted implausible and contradictory evidence the origin of funds deposited to their account and the financial situation of the sponsor. Brother's accounts did not have sufficient resources to secure the livelihood of the applicant before the funds transferred to the applicant's brother have come to a savings account kertatalletuksina just before the transfer of funds to the applicant. In addition, it is not credible that the brother of low wage and salary income of the applicant were sufficient financial support. There is good reason to believe that a transfer to the applicant's account is only intended to demonstrate 2 (4) of support were to be met without the resources actually available and the applicant and the applicant's intention is to circumvent the provisions on granting a residence permit. Although the applicant has the required number of a bank account with funds, implausible and therefore contradictory statement is not credible that the applicant's income is guaranteed 39 § of the Aliens in the manner required, and that the funds are actually available to him the resources which he or she can move to Finland to secure their livelihood during studies.
