Re: FINAL CHECKLIST plz advice is this enough to apply for student visa, from pa

Najam,

I feel you have a nice packaging

But you can still find something around you as ties to home country and add it to your package. Something that can prove that you can reasonably fall back to your country if you decide to come back to your home country after graduation, or has possibility of always bringing back to your country to check up on.

These could be immediate family, or aged parents to look after, letter from employer stating that they are aware of your study and that your job is still available after the study (sort of study leave letter with or without pay), landed property or such in your name or transfered as family inheritance, any business or investment tie(s) in your country.

Any of these can help, I guess such with what you have on ground makes issuing the visa irresistible or else God does not want you there now.

This is my view, but check out for the gurus in the Forum err their feelings

Hello Najam,

That is okay is you feel that your employer would not easily oblige to give you such a letter (although it would have been an additional point, but you must not always have all the points, but sufficient points to give you what you need - the study visa)
If your immediate family (nuclear) is staying back, then that is a very strong tie to your home country
Provide pictures of your family (nuclear and extended) as relatives you are leaving behind. I would advise having the two sets of pictures different (ie nuclear different, then extended with nuclear different or extended alone)
Each of the pictures should have you unmistakably identified.
Then, the birth certificates of your immediate family should go along too, class all these as your family tie in your cover letter

I hope this helps

Take care as I wish you the best

Danny

No wahala Njam
Your immediate family is your strongest tie
Once you have the evidence of your legal tie with them, your family tie to home country is established
The extended family would just be to buttress it, not so necessary
So just go ahead with what you have on ground
I feel the checklist you have is fine, as I said earlier
Go in faith, i wish you the best
