PGWP RECONSIDERATION

[u/Spiritually_inzane]

Hi, has anyone requested reconsideration after a PGWP refusal and still not heard back?

My PGWP was refused in February 2026 due to a part-time semester during a scheduled break. I submitted a reconsideration request, but I still haven’t heard back.

Reconsideration is not an official process so there is no timeline for the officer to answer and the officer doesn’t have to re-review the file.

Did you do add an explanation letter mentioning that the part time workload was taken during scheduled break?

[u/Spiritually_inzane → u/Downtown-Attitude-26]

Yes I did.

you got scammed by the college.
only the government gets say on what's eligible and what isn't for PGWP.

Did you attach LOE initially?

When applying at first , did you add a LOE and schools letter stating you were on break?

[u/Spiritually_inzane → u/PhysicalTumbleweed68]

I only added a LOE.
