Hello, I had an appointment today at Waterford Immigration Office to convert my visa from Stamp 2 to Stamp 1g because I have now passed my Level 9 (masters degree). I went with the required documents including the results from university, passport, stamp 2 IRP card and insurance. However, during my ...

So do you reckon it will be fairly a straight forward process and they will not be too strict on me? thanks

Hi All, I am based in Ireland on my student visa Stamp 2 and studying my masters degree. My stamp 2 visa expires in September 2021 I have got a family in UK and I am wanting to visit them on an upcoming religious event (Eid) for a week. I want to apply for a standard visitor visa for UK to stay with...

Is it just because I don't have IRP yet or do you think my recent arrival in Ireland will have a negative influence on my application?

Hi everyone, I have got a stamp 2 student visa and have just arrived Ireland on 7th Nov. I like to plan ahead of things and dont want to leave things to the last minute. I also wanted to go see my brother, sister and other family in UK on this Christmas and make a visit to UK for a week. However, my...

Thank you so much all of you.

Hi everyone,

My brother is in Ireland on a study visa, his nationality is Pakistani. We are struggling to find any link where he can apply for a short UK trip visa to visit me on Christmas holidays for a week.

Can someone please help us in this?

Thanks.

That's why I recommended you check in another country. In case there is window for refund, you don't want to miss it. Try to see with your Uni. Tell them the visa was refused, I hope they won't just keep the money. There must be a way to withdraw and get your money back possible minus some admin fe...

Have you had any confirmation from visamail stating your appeal has been received and in process?

Hi everyone, My dad's standard visitor visa has been refused recently for the reasons mentioned below. He is now about to submit a new visa application soon but struggling to understand few concerns ECO had in his last visa refusal.  I am aware that you were previously refused entry clearance on 08...

Well my delivery has been received by them as the delivery company informed me so let's see now how long they take to process it.

Where did you send it from and which delivery?

I know what you mean by late start.

But this time and only in this matter, COVID situation has gone in my favour because they have arranged proper online lectures and workshops which I am taking regularly so from studies point of view, its all going good.

I am just badly stuck with visa office.

Hi everyone, Just to update you all on what I am doing. As discussed, I contacted WIT and found that they may return my fees but take off 25% admin fees which is a huge cut. Also, I will loose much more I have spent on visa fees etc. So what they will return me will be of no use for me because I won...

Thank you so much for such a useful and helpful replies. I believe if you are a genuine person, you should not give up or step back from your position. You should fight for it. If I give up on it, it will confirm that I was not a genuine candidate and was seeking a opportunity to break the immigrati...

@Zerubbabel after I have paid fees in many grands? non-refundable you know.

I had better expectations than this at least from Irish System. Just a little disappointed.

I have tried that Visamail email address many times. No response whatsoever. How easy it all could have been if someone from Visa Office had answered YES or NO simply to my only one question. Emailed them 5 times in last 5 weeks. I am just confused to figure out if I should wait more (already been 5...

So with your experience, what would you advise me to do at this stage?

Wait or re-submit?

I will try to get it chased up by the post office as you mention.

It was delivered on 8th September and as you know they are saying the appeals are considered those submitted after 28th Sept. So shall I assume, it has been lost? Or do they take this long normally to process appeals?

I understand this may not have been the typical process to submit the appeal but it was just a push from me to speed up this process. Also, I doubt they ECO will find out where it has come from and even if he does why would he be interested in that? It was posted through a tracked delivery and it sa...

PLEASE DO NOT MERGE THIS TOPIC WITH MY OLDER ONE. THIS IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Hi All, My Irish study visa was refused sadly and I appealed the case. I emailed all of my appeal documents to my friend in Ireland to post them to Dublin visa office locally to make the delivery process bit quicker. How...

Hi there, no there is no update. It has been 5 weeks now and I am waiting to hear back. I sent my documents to my friend in Ireland and asked him to post them to Dublin visa office to make the delivery process bit quicker. However, I am now not sure if they have whether not received my appeal or is ...

I have just submitted my appeal last weak so not that quick I anticipate to hear back. I hope they pick up my file before 28 Sept if that's missed then it's definitely a refusal. I will have to then sort something out for next semester. What course are you studying? Having you arranged online classe...

Where are you posting your appeal from?

Hi Xainrind, My appeal was delivered to their office last Tuesday, and I am still waiting for the response. Which university did you apply for? Have you got the same course date 28th September? What issues did they have with your finance on sponsor? I will keep you updated with my progress. Cheers

Hi there, Yes you are absolutely making sense and it has been clearly explained that my sponsor is not relying on the amount he has shown to fund me with. These are savings. I understand what you mean about commence date. The commence date is 28th September and I am hopeful they will pick my appeal ...
