I totally disagree with you...My university asked for my history if i have been refused a visa to the uk before. That was part of the eligibility check

Taal17:
I highly doubt that a university will ask of your immigration history before giving you CAS.

The details of your past visas are only needed when you apply for a visa

They've been doing it for over 3-4 years now.

Taal17:
Since when did they start doing that?

If that's true it's wrong and unfair

Wow. I didn't know they do that now.

Oluwabukolaanik:
so because a student was refused now for not being a genuine student means if he or she apply again they will refuse the person?
It’s not fair stop trying to defend them

Why is it unfair? It's their country... they require you to show a minimum level of integrity, and you failed. If they ran their country as you expect, there would be no UK for you to run to.

Please be sure to declare all previous refusals. A previous refusal doesn't mean you won't be approved. Explain the reason for the refusal.

Hello Everyone,

I recently got admission at Glasgow Caledonian University, Scotland for January 2027. However I have a previous study refusal from September 2025. During the application, they did not ask about my immigration history, I'm sure it will come up before cas issuance and I don't intend hiding it due to deposit issues. Do you suggest I attach a cover letter explaining how my circumstances have changed while submitting the refusal letter to the school?

actually i don’t want to reply to any text coming from this my comment but I think I will have to reply this, I guess you misunderstood me, I meant because a student was refused for not being a genuine student doesn’t mean they should be treated like a bad student, I did my pre cas interview and unfortunately when I was about finishing the interview the network messed up, making me to retake the pre CAs interview, my school had to commend me for being a vibrant student and pleaded with me to retake the interview which I did and I passed, if you know my college, you will know attending there interview is like attending a mini ukvi interview, and unfortunately I was called for the ukvi interview which I went further to make my research and make sure my answer wasn’t generic and the caseworker ignored few of my evidence, my point is it’s not everyone that is label not being a genuine student is actually not genuine and not everyone that got there visa is actually a genuine student, some people don’t even know there course modules but that’s not why we are here....my second point is they should be given a second chance and not be treated as if when a school gives them offer, the school license is about to be revoked, if I am not genuine about my intentions I won’t be willing to spend so much money to gain more knowledge for the growth of my business
Thank you….

Good morning all.
Please is it advisable for someone to use phone for Pre-CAS interview or it must be Laptop.

This na true fact.
Coming now or getting things approved is by grace of God. Most people that were denied, some of them gave their best during their interview and the outcome they got or reason for refusal can make people speechless.

So sad to see other schools rejecting applicants admission because of their last outcome

If people can look into other countries and jejely go as things aren't smiling again even when people intention are +ve.
Most people know the outcome of their last election and impact it will bring.

Hi guys, I’m a prospective student for September 2026 and I want to make sure I submit all required documents to avoid being called for an interview. I have 13 years study gap and I have all my employment letters intact. Where I currently work, I’ve been there for 6 years and I have employment, confirmation, promotion and possibly a study leave letter. But I have had 3 visa refusals 1 study permit and 2 tourist; kindly advise on the best way to approach this, I want to improve my odds as much as I can.

Abeycity4luv:

you can use your phone if a laptop isn't readily available. Though they highly recommend using a laptop.

If the interview will be conducted via Microsoft teams, just download it both on your phone and laptop if one is available and log into them both just incase any of the devices starts acting up.

Family! I have a serious problem and I'll blame my agent for putting me into this mess. I applied to January 2026 intake but unfortunately I didn't receive a visa decision, so I voluntarily withdrew my application. During that January application, I suggest that we use land documents as source of funds but my agent insisted on us Inflating my salary because that's how they have been doing it for other people but I was scared because I work in a University and we have a salary structure. Finally I succumbed to the pressure and we inflated to #780K monthly and it showed on my appointment letter that was submitted for visa but unfortunately I didn't get the visa for that January intake. Now I want to go for September intake and I'm worried about that my January intake application because I just want to upload the original salary this time around but they already have that my appointment letter that has the #780K on it and it's possible they will compare the September application with the January application that was withdrawn.
I don't just know what to do, I'm seriously confused, please can somebody help me?
Omor my head wan blow, I no just dey happy at all 😢 😭

Sakuzi:
They request for 28 days bank statement. But they recently stsrt asking for 3 months payslip or salary evidence.

Please, have you seen or heard if anyone who submitted salary evidence or payslip scaled through. Would someone who has a salary scale above N400k for more than 2yrs have issues with this current development.

My guy, I am the guy that posted the #780K salary stuff, abeg read that my write-up make you reason with me, I don almost faint for here oooooooooo 😢

Where you given any reason for the rejection that you believe is related to the payslip document.
I believe someone will come to our aid to assist with information on this issue.

Hi,
No amount of preparation one will do would made them not to invite an applicant for interview. If they choose to, they would and there’s nothing one can do about it.
As you are gathering your documents, start studying for possibly credibility interview questions just in case.

Someone said even 250k salary is desent enough for UKVI... Although I don't know how true

Thank you for your response.
The Pre-CAS interview is Video recording Interview of the university of Wolverhampton. Where the question would be reading on the screen and I will be answering verbally and the system will be recording me.
Hope phone can do that?

He failed an interview..
How's that a scam?
See, even if he answered all questions resoundingly, Ukvi fit still deny am...I didn't use any agent and yet was refused for the January session.

They are trying to cut down on student visa I suppose.

He shouldn't be too hard on himself

. Please can we connect? I need someone guidance.

Hello everyone,

UK MSc Application Update (Civil/Construction Background)

I just submitted my applications and thought I’d share my strategy for anyone in a similar position (HND + construction/civil background, budget-conscious).

Schools/Courses Applied:

- Teesside University – MSc Project Management (with Advanced Practice)

- University of Bolton – MSc Construction Project Management

- University of Sunderland – MSc Project Management

Why these choices:

I didn’t pick based on “popular schools” but on what I can realistically execute.

- Teesside: Main target. The Advanced Practice route gives extra time in the UK to gain experience and stabilise.

- Bolton: Budget-friendly and directly aligned with construction. Strong fallback option.

- Sunderland: Backup option—similar to Teesside but without placement, just to increase chances.

My profile (brief):

- HND Civil Engineering (Upper Credit)
- Some construction/site exposure
- Moving toward project/construction management

Strategy:

- Focus on affordability (low deposit schools)
- Pick courses I can align to construction
- Avoid overhyped/expensive options that don’t fit my situation

Now waiting for decisions.

Anyone else applying to these schools or similar routes, feel free to share your timeline or experience.

Good morning. Hope you have gotten response on your application. Please I am a prospect I need someone level of guidance. I will be glad if you assist.

Eternalhand2000:
Is anyone here going to Ulster Birmingham this September please?

Miramonica:
