"I just dug back into trauma to type all these, I hope it helps somebody."
This sentence touched me really because when I saw the write up, I was like this is a pain no one wants to experience.
Thank you so much for taking out time to explain these. I'm so so sorry.

Thank you very much.

My anxiety has just increased, and it's like I will just have to remove my mind from it and wait for any outcome because it's NPC attestation certificates I used for both me and my brother.

But on the proof of funds, was it sitting inside your account or your sponsor's account?
The attestation certificate is fine. I used the birth certificate one.
It’s a joint account between I and my sponsor. In my sponsor’s letter he explained that he opened the account jointly with me to give me access to the funds.
Please don’t be anxious, I know it’s not easy. Instead of anxiety, just start thanking God for granting you your visa. I wish you all the best.

so sorry about this. Try to submit a new application with those weaknesses corrected. Please did you pay your full tuition before applying?
I would have but when the decision came, I didn’t want to risk not getting a decision before school resumes. I was there last year, because I applied late, I didn’t get a decision before resumption so I deferred it to this year. With the way their waiting period is, I decided not to reapply.
And yes, I had paid full tuition.

Hi everyone. Sending a direct message because I can’t respond separately to different people.

I applied in May. I think embassy received it on the 11th of May. They sent me an email notifying me of their decision on the 3rd of July.

The reasons were a lot mhen.
They said lump sum was not explained in the proof of funds. So the proof of funds has been in the account for a more than a year, I printed out the six months statement, I didn’t think I needed to explain the money that had already been there more than a year before (this is what I think they meant be no explanation of lump sum).
They said they couldn’t verify the birth certificate of I and my brother (sponsor), which I think is ridiculous because it’s literally from the national population commission. They said the year of issue is years after the date of birth which is normal as the certificate was not gotten when either of us were born. So I’d advise anyone applying to use the birth attestation certificate instead. It more like an affidavit. Maybe it’s more believable. Just my thoughts anyway. They also said the documents is of poor quality. I submitted photo copies which they requested. Anyway, my friend said when she did her’s the submitted both photo copies and originals because they are really big on documentation. They returned her original copies when they delivered her passport. She’s been in Ireland since 2022, so it’s not a new application.
Then they said I didn’t establish enough home ties.
Finally, the only one I take responsibility for, my brother’s signature on his passport was different from the one on the financial summary form. They flagged that too.
Oh they said I didn’t explain gaps in 2023. I was in law school. It was on my CV and on the application form online. So I would advise you create a document and explain any year that you were not working, even if it’s on your CV. They like plenty things. Give them more than plenty.

I just dug back into trauma to type all these 😂 I hope it helps somebody.

Hello everyone, sorry to move you to a slightly different direction.

Please if anyone here has successfully collected a refund from study and protect, please which payment platform did you use to go about it. They have stated that my Nigerian bank details won’t work.

Hello everyone. Good evening.
Please i have a question for lawyers here.
Please did you have to submit a transcript from the Nigerian law school when putting your application to a university in Canada or is the one from your Nigerian university enough?

Ah, email the school and ask them for when their late resumption is? If they have late resumption for October 20 something, you can risk and apply tops within a week and if they don’t, you will have to defer to the next intake and apply for the next intake but pls ask the school if they have any other intake before September as some of they usually have for April/may
Bruh! I will, thank you.

If it’s for this September intake, do not try it but you can apply for January 2027
The school doesn’t have a January intake. It’s just September

Hi everyone. Just wanted to get your opinions. Do you think it’s still a good time to reapply after a refusal. I’m concerned about them not giving a decision before resumption.

Hi guys. Please I need clarity on something. Is it necessary to include police character report in the application to the embassy? Some people have have it’s not necessary for a study visa application, some people have said it is absolutely needed. Would really appreciate your response on this.

Hello everyone.
I’m trying to find Nigerian lawyers who moved to Ireland via the Masters route. Whose Masters was in law.
I have questions around study, post study and getting a job (job doesn’t have to particularly be practicing law in Ireland) and skills that are in demand in these times. Basically, I’m looking for clarity and information around this is very scarce. Please if you are a lawyer or know someone you could connect me to, I’d be really grateful.

Hi everyone, I’m new here, I’ve been looking for a community like this where I can ask questions.
Please I have been reading some messages on the thread. I’d like to ask, please how did you know the embassy has received the application? I only got a message from vfs that it has been dispatched.

Also, is there anyone who submitted on August 5th that has gotten a decision?
