Lady shares US, Canada visa rejection experience
She explained in the TikTok video that the experience made her feel bad because she believed there was no reason for her visa to be rejected, as all her documents were complete. Despite that, her application was rejected multiple times.
She applied to both the US and Canada, but her visa applications were still rejected.
@aishadollarz said in the video:
"You see this thing. This blue paper is what they'll give you at the American embassy in Nigeria when they deny your visa. I got two of these. I was denied an American visa twice."
"Why would they deny me? I felt like I had everything."
"I refused to accept defeat. When I got out of the embassy, I told my dad they did not give me the visa, but I'll come back and apply again."
"My family restrategized. They said, 'Let's do Canada this time,' so we used an agent."

After her visa was rejected four different times, she explained that she applied for master's programmes at different universities. Eventually, on her fifth visa application, her visa was approved just weeks before the resumption of academic activities at the university she chose.
She continued:
"I applied to the university. I applied for the master's, and by the time my dad called me and was asking what was the next step, I had already applied."
"I applied to two or three schools in the US, and then I got admission into a US university. I applied for the visa, and the approval came in less than a month."

"When I tell people career progression is important when it comes to Canada study permit applicationsā¦ now thatās not the only factor that gives you the visa oo but one of it ā¦ so work with a professional travel agent that knows how to handle applications."
After she shared her success story online, Legit.ng contacted the young lady to give insight into her story.
In the chat, she explained the reasons her earlier applications were denied.
When asked this specific question:
"What do you think were the major reasons your earlier visa applications were refused?"
Aishat Disu responded:
"For my Canadian study permit, I genuinely believe the main issue was that I did not explain my proof of funds properly. At the time, I assumed the documents and bank statements would speak for themselves, but I later realized that I needed to explain every significant lump sum in the account, where it came from, and provide supporting documents for it, down to the last naira."
"When I reapplied, I made sure everything was clearly explained so the visa officer would not have to make assumptions or try to connect the dots themselves."
"At the same time, I honestly believe it was Godās timing. The refusals were painful, but looking back now, I believe everything eventually happened at the right time."
"My US visa experience was honestly more difficult for me emotionally. Even now, thinking about it still brings back a lot of anxiety. During the interviews, the visa officers did not ask me many questions, and they did not look at the bank statements or supporting documents I brought to the embassy. The interviews were very brief, and I was refused almost immediately."
"From what I observed at the time, applicants with fully funded offers from US universities seemed to have a stronger advantage. My offer was not fully funded, so I felt that may have affected how my application was viewed, although I cannot say for certain what went into the final decision."
She also shared advice for Nigerians whose visa applications have been rejected and who are considering applying again.

The abroad-based Nigerian shared:
"My first advice is not to rush into another application just because you want to correct the refusal immediately. Take time to review your previous application and understand what may have been missing, unclear, or not properly explained."
"Explain your proof of funds thoroughly. Do not just upload a bank statement and assume it is enough. If there are large deposits or lump sums, explain where they came from and provide evidence to support them."
"Also, prepare well for the interview, but understand that you may not always be asked all the questions you prepared for. Sometimes the interview can be very brief, so your answers have to be clear, direct, and confident."
"Most importantly, do not allow a refusal to make you feel like you are not good enough. A refusal is painful, especially when you have worked hard and genuinely prepared, but it does not mean your dream is over. Learn what you can from the experience, improve your application, remain honest, and try again when you are ready."
"For me, faith also played a major role. I truly believe that what is meant for you will eventually happen at the right time."
