Not as simple as you think it is , Its the persons who handle you application and they have more experience than themselves ...

Younger Caseworkers are more intensive and still have been very deep in exerting their knowledge or training beforehand, and it is visible in the way they take decisions...

The older and more experienced work a little flexibly and allow some loopholes here and there, with projection on the purpose rather than the description.

A case worker who is experienced may see an application with a strong 2.1 CGPA and who has a master's admission in a program that would further help the applicant grow and knows the input of that degree into what they already have may ignore home ties and even finance to grant the visa ...

when a visa is rejected most of the time, the next caseworker is a more experienced person that handles it and thats why you noticed that most second or third application is successful.

Deep search of information is mostly by unexperineced or flagged applicant through their initial application form.

The application is not even done by one person because it goes through stages of review, at least 2 people.

So for declaring refusals


CANADA refusal--- Declear in US visa

UK visa refusal ---- Declear Ireland Visa

Schengen refusal---- declare all in schengen

Australia refusal------ declear New Zealand.
I don’t know if you are aware that Canada, US, UK, Australia, New Zealand share immigration information. If you choose not to declare they can pull your refusal out at an instant. While you might be lucky to not declare other countries. The application might be stuck in additional checks for a long time while they look to gather more info. Like he stated, coming from a high risk country, don’t risk your tuition deposit by hiding a previous refusal. It’s not worth it. A previous refusal is not a dea*th sentence. Honesty is what helps you scale through.

Well, everyone is just forming opinion but we don’t really know how those visa officers behave at times.
I know someone that travelled to Uk via study visa in 2024 of which he was currently on 5yrs Canada ban yet Uk issued him visa.. We no really know how dis pple dey do dem tin joor
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.

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
So Sorry about that, At the point where you were applying to the school, didnt they request for details of the refusal before issuing a conditional offer?

If the money is given to one by a sponsor, how do you recon one presents it. In this situation where they’re asked.

Titled: Reality Of Market journey.

As an average Nigerian, going to market is a scary journey, what you bought last month might have doubled the price you bought it last time. An household can't chest off two squared meal again. Our Currency as turn to song in the Evil forest. Joy no longer linger for long on our Market men and women faces again. The reality stings alot. Generations upon generations still hope for better life but in reality it seems to be no hope😔...
Are you selling? If yes, how much

Dear customers,

From now forward (June 1)

Kindly note that there will be no payment on delivery option.

Self pickup from the store/use of escrow/ outright payment only is now allowed .


I have dealt with over 20 customers here on nairaland and not a single negative review .

I sell quality Orthopedic matress at the least cost I can

Turnover is really important.
However customers are taking the payment on delivery option with levity and ruining business.

I sent mattresses to two different customers today and both of their phone switched off after driver has called to confirm availability.

Now I have to take a loss of NGR 28,000 trying to stay float : it's unsustainable and very painful.... I am a plain person and everyone that has ever related with me online/offline can testify to it.


Please bear with me .

NB: except you are coming as a direct referral from someone I have once sold to, please no payment on delivery Sir / ma.

May the good Lord sustain us all
Escrow might be difficult not everyon trusts the service. I’ll advise you to collect the delivery charges first. So whether or not they’re available for pickup, you already have that sorted. Rather than you going full payment on delivery.

Depending on the topography of your area, if you are in Ikeja Tizeti works fine bt i cant say for other areas, i was a user in 2022 yanked it off dec 2023 nw Fiberone now covers my area, i should be connected before this week runs out much cheaper monthly sub of 13k.

Tizeti is nt a reliable network at all, they have downtimes like Nepa light, no apologies no time added to ur sub to compensate for the downtime, its frustrating, during the day its very slow.

I offered to sell mine to a friend he declined cos its nt good in Agege area, Fiber networks is more reliable than radio . If rain should fall forget it u will have downtimes that can last up to 3 days.

The best way to enjoy it is when ur house is close to their base station serving ur area, even with 46 rsl signal level during installation u go still have problems later on. Their speed is 10mbps with 4 to 6 users u know mtn is better.

Their customer service na another case if you get problem, i was warned too before getting on board bt then i had no option in my area bt nw i have 3 diff fiber networks, i can choose from.
Wow, wish I had someone to advise me before I payed for it. I hope I don’t go on to regret this. Cause I’m starting to feel some type of way, considering we’re also going into the rainy season

Do a research around your area if any of the Fiber companies have coverage around your area, they provide 25-30mbps download speed and unlimited data plans . No data cap at all.

Subscription fee starts from 13k -15k

Stay away from ISP offering radio services like Tizeti.

Fiberone
Wifiber
Dotmac
Luli fiber

Google their names and make more research.

Cheers
Sorry can you elaborate more on why radio like services should be avoided. I did thorough research and settled for Tizeti. I just paid 3 days ago and on the waitlist. Now I’m feeling some type of way about it following your response. Hopefully if starlink prince drops further. I’ll purchase it. But I have to find a way to make the Tizeti work it cost 116500
