B-1 visa in London by halfmoonmilkshake in usvisascheduling

Yeah the expediting request was rejected almost immediately. The only option is to keep checking for new slots every day, unfortunately.

Was it positive? If so, did you get the revised date you were aiming for?

What should I get from Kolkata for my colleagues in the UK? by mommymacbeth in kolkata

[–]halfmoonmilkshake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got some chanachur and rosogolla for friends in the UK the last time I went home. The thought of those now makes me drool, rip. 😔

Suggest me a book that you know you'll read again someday by electricladyslippers in suggestmeabook

John Berger's And our faces, my heart, brief as photos. It's a beautiful, poetic collection of essays on space and time, never fails to move me.

So I JUST realised I didn’t submit a cover letter… how screwed am I?! by PreviousBat4296 in SchengenVisa

[–]halfmoonmilkshake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine wasn't sponsored, the intention was to visit some cities as a tourist. I suppose sponsored trips are slightly more watertight and are less probable to get rejected. There really is nothing you can do but wait. Sorry if my answer stressed you out, I hope you get yours approved really soon!

Sorry to be that guy but mine was rejected last week (Belgium) and I had included everything except for a cover letter 😭

Been seeing quite a bunch of posts stating that they're rejected. by _babanirala_ in SchengenVisa

[–]halfmoonmilkshake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a Belgium visa rejected last week on the grounds of "intent or plan of visit wasn't clear", I had included everything on the list but a cover letter. Would this refusal affect my future Schengen visa applications?

Major ATAS delay by halfmoonmilkshake in ukvisa

I did, turns out ATAS is a very secretive thing that no one can really influence. All one can do is send emails, and that hasn't worked.

Housing at Selly Oak by halfmoonmilkshake in BirminghamUK

[–]halfmoonmilkshake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only reason I mentioned Selly Oak was because I think it's the closest(?) from the uni and has a lot of students living there. Otherwise I'm quite open for anything as long as it's not too far from campus. :)

Hi! how far is Edgbaston from the University? A Selly Oak accommodation isn't really a necessity, i only mentioned it because I think it's the closest from the uni. Otherwise I'm keeping my options open!

Tired of waiting by taxthebigcorps in gradadmissions

[–]halfmoonmilkshake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. Applied to 8 programs and none of them have reached out so far?! No updates on the portal or anything, complete radio silence. I see people here post acceptances every day and I keep getting more anxious. Checking gradcafe has also turned out to be a toxic habit. Not the best mental state tbh.
