So do you have sufficient funds avaliable now?
Have you made plans and paid at a hospital for childbirth?
If NOT then you are wasting your time & money by re-applying.

hope4me2012: vicjustice, justwise and other friends, Pls i need your advice.
I will soon attend visa interview for a 3wk
training in a US university. I had a rejection for conference visa last year on grounds of [b]unclear purpose for d trip.[/b]
i am employed with about 200k monthly.
I enrolled in d cooperative at my place of work, so monthly deductions(reflected on d payslip),are made to fund my wifes mini-mart.
My salary acct balance is about 250k.
But i want to use my savings acct with balance of about 1.2million.
How do i go about it. Do i use both or only d savings acct. Thanks

KolaShangOne: I'm just wondering..
How does a person with No father, no mother, No wife / husband prove that he has ties to his home country?

worry359:

Letter from employer stating that person is on leave and job is waiting when they come back.
Bank statements showing good salery coming in for a period of time.
Deeds to landed property and proof that you manage it.

KolaShangOne:

What if the person is unemployed but has a sponsor?

worry359:

Sponsor in home country or in country that you wish to visit?

3sha4lyf:
Lol...what does it matter, really? sponsors can't guarantee that the traveller will return to his/her country after the end of the trip so they are really not a bonafide tie to home country.
However, if applicant is a sponsor, say, had some wards or commitments back home, that's ok.
Good job worry359

You are replying to something that you don't understand and have made yourself look ignorant!
You have opened your mouth before thinking and understanding my question!

It the sponsor was in the country that the poster wants to visit that is a big red flag.
It may look like the poster has no reason to return home.

As the sponsor is in the home country of the poster they may be able to show this as links to home.
It will not be easy and it will need a good explanation of why someone would sponsor the person.

gbeduman: I greet everybody on this forum, God bless you guys for the help you are giving to us, Pls I am a music artiste and also an upcoming film maker, my short film was accepted into a film festival in Germany and they will be sending me invitation in the coming week. My business name was registered in May and i have gotten a TIN number but have not paid any Tax yet so i dont have a Tax Clearance certificate. i am married with two kids, im a member of Copyright society of Nigeria and i also registered my short film with Nigerian Copyright Comission and have the NCC certificate of the short film, I have some hundreds of thousands in my Savings account but my corporate account is not up to 3 months, PLEASE I WANT TO KNOW IF I HAVE THE CHANCES OF GETTING THE VISA TO THE FILM FESTIVAL AND I WILL APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE GIVEN TO ME. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

3sha4lyf:
My take, put all the relevant docs u have, back them with supporting docs from the German host, include ur previous works or any previous awards, (German embassy may not require too many documents but you might want to highlight past and previous awards and achievements or the likes in your additional info section). I think you should be fine. All applications are delay with in their own merits so, just tidy your side well. You might wanna start by listing docs you already have from your sponsor. Hope this helps

Vicjustice:
Not a bad suggestion, but remember that the rules are the rules, and they are there to observe.
Germany is a Schengen country, and therefore, it observes Schengen regulations which requires that a business must have tax compliance certificate, and also that a bank statement must have at least 6 months old transaction records.
Even if they give him grace in respect to the deficient bank statement, I don't see how he can get through with a business that hasn't complied with tax regulation: a business which is apparently registered in a hurry to get a visa.

Awe, read the bold and spend some few minutes to think on what it says about your person. I dont know of Tuvalu embassy, there is no serious country that will agree Sponsor resident in home country is a show of ties unless the Sponsor is the parent or something closer.

3sha4lyf:


Yeah you are very right, and I can't agree with you any less, but then not in all cases. That's why they said all applications are dealt with in their own merits. The TCC they are requesting is for the previous year which, in the poster's case, isn't possible cos his business is "in its infancy- 5 months old". So I'm suggesting that poster can note this down in the additional info section that TCC for previous year is unavailable becos business has not been in operation for up to 12 months. Except they r saying new business owners shouldn't come n "tap expertise from Schengen countries until their 1st anniversary" lol.

Also can I correct that for this Schengen visa applications, both personal and business account statements required is 3 months.

@Gbeduman, go thru this entire thread (1 to date) plus this link (see below). It'll help u with your decision.

Veeme: Hi worry359,
thank you so much for your reply. As far as I know it simply stated that he will need to reapply as my documents were out of date. The documents, bank statements etc were for the previous 6mths. He applied on 6th June and docs were for previous 6mths. Someone from embassy called me same week he applied and I confirmed our intention. He only just heard last fri that it was refused. I dont understand how they can the docs are out of date when they were in their possession?
I will try and get back to you with exact details but my partners father has been taken ill and he has travelled to see him so will be a few days.....

Veeme: Hi Vicjustice (sorry if not spelt correctly), or anyone please...!
Please excuse my ignorance Im a newbie...
Im really hoping you can offer some advice as you seem to be very knowledgable about visa's.
Im a British citizen and my partner of almost 2yrs is from Nigeria. We met in India 2yrs ago and have spent
2 seasons together there and I visited him in Nigeria. We wish for him to come and see me and my family here
in UK but his visa (visitor), has just been refused. The reason they gave is that they said my documents are out of date,
despite the fact they have had the documents for over two and a half months! It doesn't make any sense....
What should we do? Im wondering if its best to appeal (if we can), or if he just submited new application.
Any advice greatly appreciated, Im real stressed
Many thx V

Yahyabutt: To Vicjustice

Respected Sir!

I really hearty appreciate your kind guidance and contribution, I desperately need your help.
I am from Pakistan and have completed B.Sc (Hons) Geography (2012) and won gold medal for first position, I passed IELTS test with overall 7 bands score. In 2013 I got admission at UNSW, Australia but refused from granting visa from Australian Embassy. After that I got admission @ Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland but unfortunately again failed to get a student visa. I have refused student visa on following reasons:
I am to inform you that application, Ref. No.: 17092052 was refused on 26
August 2014 for the following reasons:

F:- Finances:- evidence provided is deemed insufficient or incomplete - no
bank statements provided by any of applicant’s sponsors – no evidence to
show how applicant will pay outstanding college fees – applicant has not
produced a bank statement as supporting evidence of employment

ID:- Insufficient documentation submitted in support of the application -
quality of applicant employer letters, email contacts are yahoo/gmail
accounts, no website address given – no recent payslips provided by
applicant - quality of sponsor employer letters

SP:- Gaps in education or employment not accounted for

I have supplied sponsors (my two elder brothers) payslips, now I'm preparing bank statement of one of my elder brother who is my sponsor too. In addition I have already submitted student education Bond as an alternative of bank statement.
I have paid half of my university fee that is why embassy is asking about the mode of payment of rest fee.

as for as quality of employer document is concerned, I'm lecturer of Geography @ local College in my area. Sir I belong to a remote village area where literacy rate is not so high so my organization does not advertise them on web, they use wall chalking, brochures etc, they have also paid me by hand and there is no bank involvement in salary paying however I can provide recent payslips.

In gap year Explanation, I can send you my explanatory document @ your email id so that you can better understand it.

Please help me out how can I write reconsideration letter. here is my email (mybutt001@hotmail.com)[i][/i] kindly send me your email address so that I may be able to share my visa application file with you so that you may be able to better understand the whole situation.
I hope you will be kind enough to provide me your email id and guide. looking forward to your kind response and hope you will not disappoint me!

Dear Vicjustice I'm anxiously waiting for you!!!

Vicjustice:
I regret to disappoint you by declining your request for my email address. Please, understand that whatever assistance that i give to you in secret would be beneficial to you only, but if made open, it would be beneficent to many others in similar situation; so, i prefer to correspond with you in this open forum: and besides, it is to your advantage to have others knowledgeable members make contributions in need be.
Now, concerning the reasons for your Irish visa application refusal, i would say that the decision is justifiable as you circumstances does not seem to technically fulfil the required standard.
It is a complete flop to have applied for a visa without a bank statement: the payslips that you presented is not as important as the bank statement that you failed to provide. By the way, you are not required to have a job in order to apply for a student visa, therefore, to even have presented a (cash-in-hand) job as a proof of obligation is another mistake: there is no amount of explanation that would make sense to the embassy without proper documentations.
Now, your brother is qualified to be your sponsor if you can satisfy the embassy that he is indeed your blood-brother, not cousin, uncle or other extended family relative.
Please, refer to the original article of this thread and ensure that your brother (who you said is taking the sponsor's role) meets the requirements.
