🙃 Today, the Polish Embassy rejected my student visa application, and here's why:
I began my schooling at the age of 5.5 and was always among students two years my senior. By 17, in 2019, I had graduated from high school and completed a computer science college program. Unfortunately, my family couldn't afford university tuition, so I opted to work instead. Over the past five years, I've managed to earn approximately $100K, enabling me to comfortably cover my university expenses. However, the embassy denied my visa due to the educational gap of more than four years.
Their reasoning? They suspect I might not return to my home country after my visa expires. This confuses me, as I have a full-time job back home and no intention of staying in Poland without a valid visa.
I started everything at a young age, and now, it seems my early brilliance is the very hurdle blocking my path. Maybe I'm just too ahead of the curve for my own good.
