Hello, Whyna. I've been trying to connect with you via mail. Kindly reach out please. Thank you.

[quote author=WhyNa post=86653552]As much as possible, I'll try to document my step by step journey to Hanoi, Vietnam.

This is my first time outside Nigeria and the excitement no be here. Lol

In 2014, I took my first and only IELTS, made a 7.5, even created a thread and was optimistic about getting a scholarship. Between 2014 and 2018, I applied for dozens of scholarship but was always given admission without scholarship or put on reserve list.

2019, I had had enough and decided to look into other ways of leaving Nigeria

Someone here@ dennison4luv2 gave me contact of someone working at immigration headquarters. I have gotten my passport now. I got it within 2 weeks.

Please can you send me a message? I tried sending but it's not going through.

Thank you.

Please apart from now, when next would application for admission be open again?

Also, is it compulsory that new passport application must stay up to 6 weeks before collection?

Abeg go and take up a lecturing job. See how you simplified everything here.

Kudos to you!

Two scenarios are acceptable

You, Awolola Dare Ayinde, booked the date in your name and you are going to be appearing in person, with your credentials, at the Embassy. You are allowed to come along with ONLY one more document, maybe that of a friend (as long as that friend gave you a letter of authorization)

Second scenario: You, Awolola Dare Ayinde, booked the date in your name but you will be unable to appear at the embassy for legalization. So you send a friend or family member. That person you send is ONLY allowed to appear with your documents and none other (as Long as you’ve written a letter of authorization introducing this friend/ relative who will be appearing on your behalf.

Clear?

If one is sponsoring herself, how best will she go about it as it concerns POF?

Also, how long is the POF duration supposed to last? I mean, how long is the POF supposed to be in the account?

How much is it too?

Please is one's tuition fee refunded upon visa refusal?

Secondly, can one bring his or her family over while schooling?

Multiple jobs?
I thought students are only expected to work for 20 hours per week and full time during holidays.

Arinze001:
Firstly, I'm not in Norway yet. Hopefully, I would be there late August max.

For jobs, my friends studying in Norway have multiple student-jobs paying their bills.

Let's go with a positive mindset that it will work out well for us by God's Grace!

Very detailed response, i must say! It was very helpful. Thank you so much, i appreciate.


Heisann Alle (Hello Everyone)!

I will be attending to intelligent and researched questions about Norway. I started the application last fall (some schools start October, most November, few December and January). I applied to 3 schools (received 2 admissions) but deep down wanted my top priority school which I got - University of Stavanger.

Let me talk about Universities' applications: Most Norge universities exempt Nigerians from submitting an English Proficiency test 'cept for University of Oslo and University of Southern Norway (the latter was the school that gave me a rejection though it was envisaged, I have no ielts or TOEFL). My advise is to go for the schools that exempt Nigerians from the ielts and TOEFL test, but, if you've it, it's a PLUS.
For most schools, we are to courier our transcript to the host university. It's part of the application.
The last is the block sum of NOk 126357 which we are to submit through a bank statement showing you've the sum + an accompanying sponsor's letter (for those that are being sponsored - like me).
CGPA requirements: On their websites, they indicated the minimum requirement to be 2:1. In practical, that's not really the case. Norway and other EU countries use the ECTS arrangement which means if you studied English as an undergrad, you're to continue that way. You can't apply for an MSc. In Artificial Intelligence or msc. In Applied Finance and Analytics. Most people got a rejection because they acted funny. I know someone that studied Economics with a 2.94 that applied for an Msc. In Economics that got accepted likewise someone that got 2.74 in Philosophy that also got accepted for MSc. In related course. That's the secret, no CROSS-CARPETING lol

This is all for the study application phase.

The Waiting Period
This is the period where we have to wait for feedbacks vis-à-vis our applications. The waiting period differs from schools and programmes. Some got admission in early February, some in early and late March, some April, extreme cases in May.
After you've gotten an admission, the next step is to transfer the NOk 126,527 you presented during the application to the host school. We all used FORM A, getting official USD rate from the Central Bank. I'll advise everyone to use USD if in Nigeria as your transacting currency to avoid bogus conversion charges. After paying the sum and you've received a Confirmation of Deposit from the Host university, you immediately apply for your study visa + residence permit which comes with a Schengen sticker.

Visa Process.
Norge's visa process is pretty seamless, no long wait period, no interview except rare occasions, no calling on the phone to book an appointment or whatsoever. It's super fast - easy to get an appointment date and the documents to submit are readily available.

Note: You receive your Nok 126,357 immediately you've gotten a Norwegian bank account and you receive all. It's not like others where you receive it monthly. So, one could do as he/she pleases with his/her received money.

I think that's all.

Please someone should attend to this.�

Please for the October applications, when is school resuming?

I'd love to also know how long the whole process takes. From Application up to visa and travelling.

Thank you.

This thread is to help anyone in need of a side income idea or someone finding it difficult to succeed on Upwork or unable to successfully create an approved Upwork account profile.









What is Upwork?

Upwork is a freelancing platform and by far the best with awesome monetary returns for skilled freelancers all over the world. Unfortunately, Upwork profile rejection has become the norm with newbies not getting a chance to showcase their skills. I know this can be frustrating. So today, I want to address why your Upwork registration might get rejected. But before we dive in, it is important to keep in mind that if Upwork rejects your profile, it is not the end as I can help to set up an approved Upwork account profile of any country (except the USA) and for any category and skills.

What can you do to make sure your Upwork profile is accepted?


Apart from your skill set, there are other issues that could get your profile rejected. Take a look at how you can make sure your profile doesn’t end up in an unapproved bin.

1. Complete your profile
When registering on Upwork, increase your chances of getting accepted by completing your profile. Complete your profile by adding a profile pic, a headline, profile overview, employment history, education, and any other experiences.

2. Keep improving your profile and try again
If your profile isn’t approved the first time, don’t panic. You can submit it again after making some changes to your skills.

3. Add your social media accounts
Link your accounts from your social network and development site profile as it can increase the trust level of your account.

4. Contact Upwork support directly via their official social media channels
Contact Upwork Help and Support if you believe that your profile is complete - I am not sure if they approve profiles after they have been rejected but I believe they will at least give you the reason for your rejection and possibly some tips on how to improve it and then you can resubmit it.
