educsam245:For you to apply for PR under extra ordinary skill, you will need evidence of Critical Skill Visa as a requirement. Firstly you need to apply for Critical Skill Visa and later apply for PR. Critical Skill Visa allows you to study only on part time basis.Not necessarily a cancellation of your study visa but my advise is for you to complete your studies before you change conditions on your visa or apply for new Critical skill visa. 1 Like |

Also write a letter to clarify to the embassy and attach proves...the bank letter and statements. you will be fine at the end. |

Luxxycool:your post above suggest that you don't have money in your account and you hurriedly deposit 450k because of the visa application irrespective if its a salary account. the embassy does not need to confirm your bank statement again before denial! because that action is questionable. giving you 10 working days to reapply is just to confirm their suspicion that you are not a genuine visitor! because the money you claim in your account is not your own and you won't reapply. 3 Likes |

gnike1:reapply immediately...include a letter in your application explaining the error of judgement by highlighting the study permit, attach it to the letter or staple together. Also in your letter of introduction draw up a table to show all attached documents in support of your application. on each of your supporting document put the figure on it. |

adeniyy01:Stop using agent. do it yourself. You also need to prove to the embassy that your previous documents submitted are genuine and credible. The burden of prove is on you for any future applications. However if you don't have the requirements for the category of visa sought for, it is better you consider not applying till you can confidently meet the requirements yourself. |
