Congrats! Hey great job keeping that chin up & always trying.

May I ask if you were still in Dubai when you applied and choose applying from as India or you quit your job and relocated to India & applied from there ? I am in same situation but don't want to leave my job or is that the only way to create pseudo home ties for VO satisfaction ?
Well the 3rd time I applied online, I had to be present in India. So for just 1 week I went filed my application and returned back to Dubai. That was the refusal though.
But for the 4th application it was not necessary to go to India.

Show bank balance, properties, ITA anything which shows home ties.

I did a big mistake of resigning my very good job in Dubai when I applied 1st time. I assumed getting admission is difficult, but getting a visa is easy. But it’s a vice verse case.
I was jobless for almost 1 year, but never gave up. Never allowed any negative thoughts to come.

So please don’t resign until you have your Visa approved. Later things can be handled either by deferring or joining bit late depending on the circumstances.

Happy new year !!! Please can you mention during 4th application your working in Dubai and applied from India on vacation ?
Happy New Year
I was not working, left the job on my 1st application. Shouldn’t have done. 3rd application I went for 1 week, 4th was not necessary to go. The consultant just applied with a new LOE addressing the refusals.

I don't have any real estate in my name, how do I encounter this issue in your opinion? how many pages of SOP you wrote?

Maybe you can show your Fathers. I think Star, Hero members can provide insights on this.

My SOP was 5 pages and LOE 4 pages and last LOE 3 pages ( addressing different refusal reasons)
