Visa Grant

Submitted on 27th December
Biometric and Interview on 3rd December
Collection Notice on 15th December
Passport Delivered on 16th December

This is after 4 Visa refusals from Canada, USA and Australia.

And to think that I only made up my mind to pursue a Master's degree program in the UK on the 10th of December, paid tuition the following day or so.

I appreciate all wonderful contributors here, thank you.

To God be the glory. We move!!!!!!!

Goodevening all....


Please for all applicants and Prospective applicants... kindly follow the UKVI rules and regulations.


There is no short cut to UK immigration rules. So many weird things have been happening of recent with people using AGENT for their application. Please be careful so that you won't be banned from entering UK for 10 years. I think part of those reasons for the recent delay in visa application was due to some Nigerians using agents and thereby submitting fraudulent documents. I have witnessed 2 people applying to UK for January 2020 admission and been denied and then banned for 10 years because of their agent foolishness.

I warned both to resist from using agent but none listen to me so I have no apology to give to them. sad

Please what sort of fraudulent documents.

Please I need advise. My program starts on the 27th of January, my question is should I do normal standard visa or priority visa?
I actually want to do standard visa because of lack of fund but I want to get proper guidance from the Ogas here.

Bethiano:
Dear Nigerians,

it would be challenging to tell you my story since 2014.... because its long.....

But i would discuss about it based on subject matters, not sure i can write all....i will try to make a youtube video, though not sure if i am ready for the public.

Study in Germany, does it make sense, whats the difference about studying in Nigeria content wise ?......

First, i want you to know and appreciate that knowledge gained from Nigeria is strong and comparable. otherwise, you would not have been admitted on the basis of your BSc for a master and WAEC+ 1st year studies for Bachelors. The fact you have been admitted means you have requisite knowledge to undertake the course.

Please dont let anybody talk you down on this matter. Just know this !

Before your begin to walk tall, please, ensure you choose the right course for you, be sincere with your competence and skills. Review thoroughly the course modules and be sure the content satisfy's your quest for knowledge in that field.

i understand sometimes we just apply to a lot schools and programmes, for admission sake. However, to the degree possible, make sure your are interested in the programme and excited about the modules.Otherwise, you may come back here and start shouting how hard it is to study your choosen course, how hard German this and that is....

For the Records, many Nigerians are graduating with Distinctions here..... many ! on the average, many are doing their best, especially those who have the opportunity to focus on their study and not being distracted by work.

content Wise,
Talking from my programme (TropHEE @ TU Darmstadt) and please note that i already had a master in Environmental Management from UNN and have been doing independent research, participation in Academic conferences, publications etc. before living Nigeria.

For me , the modules are everything i want to learn, very enriching and insightful. Every class i attended was an opportunity to reinforce my knowledge and filling knowledge gaps i had in my understanding of Hydrogeology, which was my aim of taking up the programme. i saw myself saying YES or Okeyyyyyy...... or nodding during classes in agreement most times and asking WHY many times to prompt explanation of why we are doing it that way and not this way. so for me its different and may be different for some others.

The central point here is, know your goal/ reason for choosing a particular programme, be sure its inline with your career objectives and target after the 2 year masters. Be realistic with your existing skills, knowledge shortfalls, etc. Dont over assume.
If you know , you somehow graduated with a 2.1 or 2.2 and that your result does not reflect the knowledge it presents you possess.
Please take your time to do some reading before going to Nigeria. Dont form or claim anything here, there is no room for that. Its either your know or you dont.
Take time and go through all modules of your programme, call the programme coordinator if you need clarifications on the programme. Be sure the module content is what you want to learn, that it would provide knowledge that would fill the gaps you have, that it would arm you with the skills you need to lead a better life and career moving forward.

of course, Germany is ahead of Nigeria in terms of Technology , research capability, facilities and scientific approach. However, i think in Nigerian are prof's try to brake things down for us to understand, our prof's approach to science and teaching is aimed at making us understand and appreciate concepts. But this have a lot to do with the context/environment, mannerisms and ease of understanding Nigerian prof's due to Nigerian English phonology and lexicon which is debatable.


However, my submission above does not suppose that some people stories are not different. i say this before people begin to declare, cast and bind.... and use the Lords name in vain.
well if you say , its not your portion and that you are destined and favoured.... no worries , i dont doubt you and contest your faith. You have rights to hold your sane beliefs.
you are free to choose a programme in Astro Physics with your BSC in yoruba, no worries Red sea would be divided for your case.


here is the summary of the whole matter as it pertains to programme content; be real with your truth in this spite, and seek that which would complete your "headquaters" in peace and harmony



Let me also use this opportunity to let this one out of the bag;

seeing how people cry out for blocked account here and how many peoples dreams have been cut shot cos of they do not have sponsor or money , i will make some statements in the next 2 paragraphs.... these are my thoughts and no one should take it to heart.

If you have the means to keep financial resources flowing your way while in Germany from Nigeria either through your parents/family/ or financial sponsor for your studies in Germany, i would advice you give 80% of your focus to your studies and 20% to work ( as a research assistant or something related to your studies ) + any loose percentage for travel and leisure....(my dear please enjoy Europe and don't dull). I highly recommend you travel for Academic conferences or youth development and empowerment programmes.
while you are getting support from home, take this time to strengthen and sharpen your skills on softwares or technical skills required for your field of study or future profession. e,g GIS, Programming, R , statistical tools etc.


If you dont have means of steady financial flows from Nigeria as above, its up to you to decide. But i will advice you give focus to your academics. Please try not to spend more than the required time for your programme . 2 years for masters should be 2 years . Do all you can to stay tops on your academics and make good grades. Above all learn a skill.

For those of you, whose parents are in Government and steal our monies (...if this affects you, dont be angry or shy, we have pass that level in Nigeria... so no worries, no hard feelings from my side...) provided your pops or mom can be doling out the money in peace, you can use it to support other Nigerians or at best make donations to the NSIG ; Nigerians student group in Germany.
Last last its our money, so no worries... But wasting it in bars in Europe in the name of feeling fly, is annoying especially when people know that your folks are in government and are thieves . i wont say more than this.
please there is nothing to shy about it, we all know these things. if your family is in Govt, and they are stealing it, please steal it from them and help other Nigerians freely and dont go boasting about it, because its not your money.
If you are angry about this and go on spending and lavishing the money, no worries.... Na your luck.... No hard feelings , Na God so "saraba" give u...



Wish you all the best. No

Bethiano de Bizzle

Mcowubaba:

Lol
All this agents, always talking bullsh**t, and giving fake information.
You don't get any critical skill work permit automatically in Ireland, you will have to find a job, then the job will have to sponsor you. Which is subject to critical skills list and other requirements.

If the critical skill application is successful, you will be given a stamp 1, which you will renew every year for 2 years, that is you'll have the stamp 1 for 2 years, then after that you may be qualified for a stamp 4, which can be classified as permanent residency.

If you don't qualify for a critical skill permit, there is a general work permit, and if that is granted, you'll be on stamp 1 for 5 years, it will also be renewed on a yearly basis subject to other conditions and requirements.
After holding a stamp 1 General work permit for 5 years, you may be eligible for a stamp 4.

Then generally graduates in a masters degree get a stamp 1G for 2 years, firstly for 1 year then subject to other conditions, it will be renewed for another year.
After that if you have not secured a stamp 1, 4 or any new immigration permit, you may have to leave the Country. Stamp 1G does not count as reckonable residency, so 2 years spent on stamp 1G is as good as NOTHING in terms of permanent residency or citizenship.. On the other hand, stamp 1 from a critical skill permit or general work permit, counts towards your reckonable residence for citizenship.

I don't mean to be rude, but people should do basic Google searches to double check any information someone gives them especially information from agents who want to self their market

Good luck mate!!


Good day bro.

I am going to Dublin Business School to study MBA in Project management. How well do I quality for a critical skills permit or general work permit. Tanx
