Two refusals declared - Canada visit and Poland study.

Here is what I'd tell you all. If you don't have time to read every page on this thread, then this process isn't important to you. I don't want to hear your reason, if it is important, you'd make time for it. I came here when it was 508 pages and I read every of the pages (made screenshots) to the current page. I got everything I needed from here. People now pay me to even fill their visa applications and do admission processes for them because I seem like an expert. Just by reading thoroughly. Read o! Read! Stop looking for who'd spoon-feed you. Read! Search for schools, send them emails, call them to make enquiries, they're always happy to help from my experience.

I applied to 19 schools. 17 gave me admission, 2 are yet to make a decision (good luck to them), some conditional (IELTs), others unconditional. I left others and chose Middlesex before they tried to kill me by denying me CAS after 2 interviews - failed the 1st, passed the 2nd but they said my 2nd responses conflicted with the 1st. This happened on the 24th of November, same day I applied to Manchester Met - 5 days to Manchester Met's closing date for admission.

Your Personal Statement has to be very convincing. That was my selling point, I think! My inbox is filled with emails from different schools because I like to get the information directly from them.

For those that are yet to apply, include your work reference(s) and a detailed CV to your application. A CV cannot stand in for work reference(s). It is not mandatory but it will save you a lot of stress and/or time. Appointment letter is not really needed in my opinion. A letter of introduction from your employer covers that. If you need a format of such letter, just send me a message. You don't lose anything by including those in your application. However, you have everything to gain.

I don't believe in any god so for me, this is about doing the right thing, and not by praying to anyone.
Thank you to everyone that has shared his/her experience(s) here! They're invaluable!

Manchester, incominggggggg!

is it tls or the high commission you spoke to?, cause i also did keep my passport, so i know how best to follow up

Exactly. Going for studies is a means for migration, everyone knows this, the UK knows this.

Please does one need a transit visa for Ethiopia and Frankfurt? I read online that it might not be needed. I just want concrete information before I proceed to make a booking.

mimilyrics:
No, you don't. I'd advise just ignoring. If they want to explore why you're still unmarried, they'll ask you but it's inconsequential to your application since your status never changed.
Please in future, don't declare any information that has not been birthed (I.e. you about to get married etc.) except it is necessary. 

Why I declared it was I explained that part of my reason for wanting to visit the UK was to do some shopping for my upcoming wedding. This was to serve as a basis for strong home tie.

Please I'll appreciate if I can get the letter and cv if you've gotten it. emmaphil2009@yahoo.com

Hello, house. Any thread on how to cement one stay in the UK after getting the post-study visa. The two years can melt quickly and employers are selfish with sponsorship.

if you get NSF mail and noting is requested, it means your application is going to take longer than the standard processing time. they are trying to verify some information you have provided on your application, making a decision will now depends on how quickly they get response from whatever they are trying to lookup.

Rice, and Garri are cheap there, so don't buy those. Buy any other dry foodstuff that doesn't smell too much. If you carry iru or stock fish, seal it very very well. It must not smell

ColdNight:
Evening beautiful people,

Can someone point me to the list of foodstuffs and essentials one should bring along while coming to the UK.

Thank you

Hardelekeh:
Please I have applied for FORM A online since sunday and up till now no mail or anything please how long does this take ?

What bank did you use? I applied since the beginning of January still haven’t been debited. I think the federal government pushed this form A online so as to frustrate people because I don’t even understand?
