I wrote my ielts test on Wednesday and I got scared of writing because I couldn't complete the 250words in essay. I wrote over 180words before the time went off.

Check Minnesota State University, Mankato.
After making an inquiry from the school, I was given this reply;

Thank you for your inquiry and interest in our graduate program.

Hello guys! What’s your take about an uncle in the United state standing as your sponsor.
Its good but make sure you are not going to the same state he is to study cos its a red flag.

Visa Delayed at Abuja.
Today 8th November
School: South Dakota School of Mines and Technology
Course: MSc Civil and Environmental Engineering
COA: 26k
No funding
Married with a daughter.
First Attempt

This is my transcript.

(White Caucasian male. Window 7)

VO: Good Morning
Me: Good Morning
Vo: Have you ever travelled Out before
Me: No. I have not travelled out before
Vo: Who is your sponsor
Me: My Mum
Vo: What does she do
Me: she is a wholesale distributor of Ankara fabrics in Lagos and other southwestern states of the country. She also runs a fashion school where she trains other young fashion designers.
VO: What do you do presently?
Me: I work as a structural engineer at *** company. I design and produce structural drawings for building projects and help manage building projects.
VO: Do you have any relative in US?
Me: No
VO: Okay. Sorry you do not qualify at the moment.

He then handed me the blue paper.

Really can't place my hands on the reason for the rejection. I thought to share so someone can learn and maybe anyone can pick out where I need to make some adjustments.

I gained a lot from people's experiences here. Thank you all and all the very best to everyone going for their interviews.
Since you've not gotten a travel history, they want you to have someone in America but preferably not residing in the state you want to school.

Has anyone recently requested for his or her GCMS notes and got it in due time? Mine is now 20 days over due date. I ordered July 5 and I am yet to get it. I don send reminder taya. It is well!
I requested mine and got a confirmation that they recieved it on July 5 yet I haven't gotten it, I was told it takes longer lately. A consultant told me that he requested for 4 and he's yet to recieve the notes after 50 days. Let's be hopeful. They said between 30-60 days on their website.

```Success is not for just the interested, but for the committed. The interested works only when the time is convenient, the committed makes all the time convenient. The interested accepts excuses, the committed accepts results.```

```You can't conquer in what you are not committed in. Commitment precedes success; even in the dictionary. Stay committed, even though it hurts. Success blesses those who pay attention to its move.```

```Remember:```

```Success is never an accident, it is always a result of commitment to excellence and a focused effort.```

```Success never come to people, people go for success so if you are waiting, wait no more. It is action time.```

```“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”```

```“Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.”```

```Success will never lower its standards to accommodate you. You have to raise your standards to achieve success.

uote author=deommanuel post=104370421]Hello Nairaland grin grin

I do not know how to begin this post, but na God go help me.


First, I want to say a big Thank You to Vicky. I dunno your moniker but you know yourself. Thank You for helping reach out to the family here on my behalf. I really appreciate you for that!

Next I'll like to appreciate the entire Nairaland family for the show of love. Omohh e no easy. My heart is full of so much gratitude to every single one of you.

No need to make this a long post abeg undecided
Ending of April no funny for me atall
Robbed on April 25
Application denied on April 27.
It was even more painful as I had to view it on my PC screen. The thing just bold for my face. cry

Hehe
Regardless, I give all the glory to God. It was a really long wait, and it was worth every single second of it.
Thank You to everyone here who in one way or the other contributed to my application.

Here's my Timeline.

Got admitted to Uom to study International Business in October, 2020

Application Submitted - Dec 16
Biometrics completed - Dec 22
NSE Request Letter - Dec 24
Upfront Medicals. - March 24
Medicals Updated. - April 12
Letter of Refusal. - April 27

My application was processed via the normal route. I was denied based on Personal Assets blah blah, cos I know I finished them with my SOP godi. grin

I'm back now and willing to help as many as I can on this journey or lemme just say application grin
I'm willing to go through as many SOPs as I can.
I'm ready to answer as many questions as possible.
Let's all get involved in any little way we can.
For Charles Dickens says, "No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another"

My advice to everyone who's yet to apply or waiting for a decision?
Please do not be scared. I know it sounds impossible but on the long run you'll discover your fear and worry doesn't change anything.
If your application was denied, don't give up too. Keep refiring until you hit your target.

I wish everyone awaiting PPR good news in the shortest possible time.

Believe me when I say this..

It will end in Praises!

Well! You might be correct thought but I calculated mine with this and I got my reply based on this ( am within Nigeria ), I as well did the same for two of my friends and it was accurate.

SuomyNona:
We have discussed this before numerous times on this platform. This timeline is for applications made within Canada... It differs from applications outside Canada...

It is advisable that he request for a GCMS notes. If the cost of GCMS request (5K) is not a burden to him, there is no cons of requesting for it even if his PPR arrived before the GCMS delivery. His application already exceeded the estimated 10 weeks processing time (that was the estimated processing time in early May).

@Kaydelegend01 even if you request for a gcms notes your final decision will come before the note, they are attending to may 1 - may 8 submission, it will be updated tomorrow night again. In 2 to 3 weeks from now u should get your final decision.

We were refused based on personal assets and financial status. Though my gcms note is yet to arrive and I want to differ the admission and reapply for January resumption. How can I go about this.
PLEASE HELP!
