Sorry for the late reply. . . didn't come across your thread till now.

What is the exact nature of the conference and the duration? Is it in your field of study and can you show the tangible benefits attending such a conference will have in your career/education? It would also be a good idea to have some evidence of registration if possible, to make your application more genuine.

I really don't know what effect the rejected UK application or the unused German visa will have, but I'd say apply all the same - go to the High Commission to get the current list of required documents before applying and the timelines involved.

Wish you all the best

. . . . .And in addition, get a recent letter from your school indicating what year you are enrolled in, what programme you are studying. If possible, obtain a copy of your transcripts as additional documents also.

All the best.
