What insights can we draw about visa applications from group experiences?
I’ve been following this group for a while. It has helped me.
I want to share one idea/observation. Look - there are 1) a lot of people who ask questions, 2) quite a few people who share their struggles, 3) and some people who share their successes. On this group and elsewhere online.
My belief is that there are also x times more people who just apply for the visa and get it. Easy. No problems. No questions asked.
Remember this.
Just because you are here, in this environment where most ask and seemingly struggle, it doesn’t mean that it will be a struggle for you.
The rules are extremely simple.
If you have money and work or a course, you get the visa. That’s it.
Just because someone with 3 deportations, 45 overstays and 99 stamps has problems doesn’t mean that you will have any problems.

There is both upside and downsides in this group. Many anon posts, some of them probably agents trying to fear people more to use agents, and then you have those who dont even know whats this visa is or what it includes.
Mostly lazy people asking same questions that gets repeated every day.
Then you have some of us that enhoy helping, that have applied both with success and know alot because maybe we also had struggles.
Like me, i researched it alot, read alot in here, both have been rejected and approved. And looked at all the options before applying.
So both upside and downsides. There are some good people here that are willing to spend time, and give advice.
