Hello, did he tell you the reason why those who applied to France/Germany/China are not allowed to apply? Cos I would like to withdraw that application.

I think they are 'allowed to' but 'ADVISED not to', I didn't ask for the reason behind the statement. But you can call them to confirm.

Please drop whatever information you get from them here so that everyone will have access to it.

They've already warned us on Nairaland that the UK isn't a good place to go if you want to be retained/work after graduation and I've heard the same from others too
