Funnily enough, my research on reddit was saying that huddersfield is the dead place and all

Any student from NATIONAL OPEN UNIVERSITY. how did you go about getting recommendation letter sent to you personally via email from the school?

Ismailsulaimon:
Omo! Rejection mail na water for my side o. I have been rejected by 3 or 4 schools because I do not meet up their entry requirements. Imagine having HND in Business Administration with Distinction and I have to suffer like this. I'll not back down. Come January 2027, I'll quote this my message with a congratulations visa approval. I said it first.

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.

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!

Ismailsulaimon:
Can you give me the list of schools to apply with my HND, I am fed up already.

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

nwaogukings03:
Please from recent experiences, does UK still give visa to dependents of research-based masters degree study visa holders?

olola4:
Apply to another school/multiple schools, they rejected ur CAS request cus they believe the Home Office won't grant u visa and if they issue u CAS and Home Office denies u visa there is a way it affects them also and they might even loose their license if they keeps giving people who are not likely to be granted visa CAS.

If possible add a cover note in future application to explain what led to ur Spain visa approval and how ur circumstances has changed for better.

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.

adisaogo:
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 😔

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.
