ORIGINAL POSTER@M *******************
I provided it straight away. They additionally asked me, if I’m unemployed, how am I going to support myself and what are my plans after completing the course while holding a 5-year visa. And also requested Muay Thai gym to send a confirmation that I’ve applied and paid.Reply to

When did you apply? I'm in the same boat but I only applied 7 days ago so I guess not enough has passed

ORIGINAL POSTERAnonymous participant 831 applied on the 11th but was requested to provide additional documents, I guess, it puts you at the back of the line again.
