Hello! I am Senegalese, I was a first-year student in Banking, Finance, and Insurance in 2022, and I was admitted to a private school this year for a Bachelor 1 in International Marketing. I applied for a visa and was given reason 4. I would like to reapply for the deferred January intake, please. I need help with a motivation letter to properly defend my study and professional project and my motivation for why I have downgraded, also because I changed my field to avoid reason 4. I already have a recommendation letter from my host institution.
Welcome @Eli_Dowce! I am sorry to hear that your visa application was refused with reason 4. I understand how frustrating this can be, but it is important to note that this reason is not insurmountable according to our experience.
In general, reason 4 is often related to issues of consistency in the student’s study plan. It is usually the result of an unfavourable opinion from the SCAC commission at the Campus France interview.
The idea of reapplying for the deferred January 2024 intake seems like a good solution to us. To maximise your chances, we can offer you support that includes a simulation of the Campus France interview and personalised assistance until you obtain your student visa. To do this, simply take the VIP Private Pass.
For your information, we recently assisted an Ivorian student who had reasons 4 and 5 for five consecutive years. Following our support, she obtained her visa and has just arrived in France. Her testimonial will be published soon on the platform. Stay connected.
Hello everyone, for someone who has had a visa refusal, can they enrol late for the same private school where they were accepted? And also, do the ineligibility criteria (like the cumulative average thing, etc.) also apply to those who have already been accepted into private schools outside of Campus France?
for someone who has a visa refusal, can they start a deferred entry for the same private school where they were accepted?
Yes! It is possible to start a deferred entry for the same school where one was accepted despite having a refusal. In fact, we have had several cases like that.
