Had my lunch. .and I am free to answer you if you guys have questions..
My visa starts on 17.08.2010 and expires 30.09.2012 = 2 years.
I got admission for "Web Development" in Humber (North Campus) and I am leaving on 30th Aug. (missing my first day of orientation @ Humber)
I suggest you friends book your tickets AEAP, so that you won't need to pay much (40k distance). If you cancel your tickets, you may lose 8-10k only.. so, be ready to take risk.
Fears I had (in my case):
1. My parents are second grade teachers (both are retired from work). so, I thought It won't make a big impact on money matters - can be a rejection case.
2. My sister (who got married) is supporting by her current salary which is less than 2LPA; I have attached her 3 months bank statements and supporting letter of my sissy - can be a rejection case
3. While medical (pre-med) test, doctor (male) found that I have Inguinal Hernia for long period (5 yrs) - can be a strong rejection case
ps: I had my surgery after medicals only.
4. I am from Mechanical dept (though I have 3.5 yrs exp in IT Field) who is applying for Web Development - can be a rejection case.
5. I didn't attach my semester mark sheet (because i lost them... actually I torn those mark sheets when i was studying college because of my poor marks and arrears); Only I attached my consolidated mark sheet which shows my entire 8 semesters marks in one sheet - can be rejection case
6. I had 30+ history of arrears in my BE-Mechanical studies (the thing is I never put my interest in mechanical dept. In college days I used to program of my own and did some freelancer work in computer related things). - can be a rejection case
7. I cleared my BE with second class - can be a rejection case. but now a days it's accepted.
8. I have 5 yrs gap (including working exp) after my completion of studies.
9. I was idle for one yr (searching for an IT job)
10. 5 companies in 3.5 yrs length.
These are the fears I had before getting my visa. but, thank God, I am relaxed now..
The best thing I've done is the SOP of mine. My consultant helped me to design the better SOP to show my strong points against my negative things.. Hope that might have satisfied them and my experience too.. .
Last, but not the Least.. Without GOD's grace, NOTHING would have been DONE!!!
My strong point is, Even I got visa, Why can't U GUYS???
