Guys please, I need genuine Agbo Iba Panju here in the UK. I’ve been to the GP far too many times.

You need to stop misleading people here. I'm worried that you will lead people here to visa refusal. It will take the embassy nothing to find out that an applicant has a family member in the UK, avoid encourage people like lie on their visa application because the consequences can be very costly

justwise:
Can you support this statement with any official document? You are likely to cost some people here their deposit with the university.

TheAnglican:
I have a question please. Do you need to have unconditional offer first before you pay your deposit? Asking especially for Edgehill university and staffordshire

Alphaman007:
Good Morning All.
Please is there anyone that has gone for Bradford's pre cas interview.
Can you help with the questions asked?

That was then now, there are a lot of scrutiny now, if one does not delcare a previous refusal and ukvi rejects the person for it, thats deposit gone with any school the person applied to. So its not worth the risk, even schools now are carrying out extra check, if they find out the person has a previous refusal, its deposit gone. its not worth the risk, declare it and hope for the best. days of withholding it has past, not in this current immigration atmosphere where its not as easy as it used to be.

NO SIR,

100% NO NEED.

UK is not in THE EU and currently doesn't have access to that situation of his rejection unless under critical search and that often rare.

Thank you for the response boss, someone told me about that policy just now about them losing their license. I was wondering if I made a mistake by declaring my previous Visa Refusal because my passport wasn't stamped and I only declared because I read it here that it's better to declare.

Applying for another school now might be too late for January intake, I started this process since January 😔

The Spain student visa is another crazy story on its own because the Spanish Consulate rejected almost every one that apply giving us the same generic reason, my eye see shege for that thread. I'll prefer not to disclose it altogether because they reason the consular general gave wasn't justified. I just hope Salford can reconsider this decision, I have invested heavily in this process.

Please from recent experiences, does UK still give visa to dependents of research-based masters degree study visa holders?

adisaogo:
Good day house
My CAS request was just rejected by University of Salford and the reasons they gave is because I declared I has a previous student visa denied by Spain in 2025. I want to ask if anyone has experienced this before as i want to appeal but they are nor giving any room for reconsideration. I'll appreciate any advise

This is really heartbreaking, I graduated from the Uni of Hull and I have also been reading about the strict refund policy for new set of students.

It's not over until it's over, since u av ur partner in the UK, she might be in the best position to help u contact an immigration lawyer for administrative review. Also mail university of Hull directly to seek their guidance on your particular case and the support they can offer.

And the last option - might be funny but it might work, which is to raise it with ur bank to dispute the transaction and ask for refund cus that's alot of money, even if u mention that amount to a Brits, they will definitely scream and tell u that it's alot of money.

Goodluck!

I have been following silently, but I finally feel the need to share my experience because I am truly devastated and unsure of what to do next.

I applied for a UK Student visa and completed my biometrics on 21 August. On 11 September, I received a request to provide additional documents covering what I had been doing from 2019 to 2026. I worked hard to gather the required documents and submitted them three days later.

Interestingly, I received an email on 5 September inviting me for a visa interview on 6 September. I attended the interview as requested, hoping for a positive outcome. Unfortunately, yesterday, I received the heartbreaking news that my visa application had been refused.

The reasons given were that my explanation for choosing my programme was too generic, that my reasons for choosing the UK were insufficient, and that I had not demonstrated adequate research into other countries before deciding to study in the UK.

I have been devastated since receiving the decision. I keep wondering whether I have any realistic chance of succeeding with an Administrative Review or whether I should begin considering other options.

What makes the situation even more painful is the financial commitment I have made to the University of Hull. I paid a total of £10,400 towards my tuition fees, comprising a £10,000 deposit and an additional £400. While reading the university's tuition deposit refund policy, I came across a provision stating that applicants whose visas are refused on credibility grounds following an interview may not be eligible for a refund unless the refusal is overturned through a successful Administrative Review.

The thought of losing such a significant amount of money is frightening. It is money I invested in my future, and I do not know whether there is any way I can recover it. I have also been informed that the university does not defer admission in cases of visa refusal, which has left me feeling even more helpless.

Beyond my studies and the financial loss, this situation is especially difficult because my spouse is currently in the UK pursuing a master's degree in social work and is expected to complete the program next year July. I had hoped that my own studies would bring me closer to my spouse and allow us to move forward with our plans together.

Right now, I feel overwhelmed, disappointed and uncertain about the future. I do not know whether to pursue an Administrative Review, appeal to the university regarding my tuition deposit, or explore other immigration options.

I would sincerely appreciate advice from anyone who has experienced a similar situation or has a good understanding of UK Student visa refusals, Administrative Reviews and university tuition deposit refunds.

Has anyone successfully overturned a refusal based on credibility concerns following a visa interview? Has anyone in a similar situation managed to recover their tuition deposit from the University of Hull?

I am trying to remain hopeful, but this experience has taken a serious emotional and financial toll on me. Any genuine advice, guidance or shared experience would mean a lot to me at this point.

Good morning everyone, please I need advice from people who have experience with UK student visas, especially those who have studied at the University of Westminster.

I have received a conditional offer from the University of Westminster for a 4-year full-time MPhil/Research Accounting programme, starting January 2027.

My questions are:

1. Is the University of Westminster currently a good/safe university to use for a UK Student Visa? Does it have any issues with CAS issuance or visa sponsorship?
2. Has anyone recently applied for a UK Student Visa through Westminster and how was the CAS/visa process?
3. I plan to apply with my spouse as my dependant. Since this is a research-based postgraduate programme, am I eligible to bring my spouse as a dependant under the current UK rules?
4. My tuition fee is around £17,000 per year, and Westminster has requested a £5,500 deposit before CAS. Does anyone know if I need to pay a particular percentage of the tuition before CAS?
5. I have never travelled outside Nigeria before. Does lack of travel history affect the chances of getting a UK Student Visa, especially when applying with a dependant?
6. For people who have successfully applied with a dependant, what documents did you provide to demonstrate the source of funds and your relationship?

I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has recently gone through this process, particularly for a January 2027 research/MPhil student visa application from Nigeria.

Thank you.
