Hello guys,

My boyfriend just got a Visa rejection from France Embassy after 6 day of submitting application and he is a first time applicant. It is funny how we submitted all the required documents and I have been on this thread for a very long life plus I am leaving in Europe so I have a bit of experience with visa application. We had the closing balance of 40m in both his bussines and personal accounts we carefully state his source of income, award letters of contract and landed properties that he owe and many more I am really shocked that his application was refused with this reason.

I don’t know what to do gurus in the house

Kindly advise the plan is to visit Europe to see me and go back to Nigeria.

Ties to home country-I have strong and verifiable social, professional, academic and economic ties to Nigeria, which ensure my
timely return:
• I am the active CEO/Director of my company, with ongoing commitments that require my
physical presence.
• My company is engaged in official contracts with the Federal Government of Nigeria, including
the recent one with the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
• I am engaged in an ongoing Masters program in Business Administration (Human Resources)
at Ahmadu Bello University (currently in 3rd semester).
I enrolled for the MBA Program after my Masters of Engineering (Structural Engineering).
The program was to of having a broader understanding of Human resource management which
has greatly helped in management of my company.
• I am an owner of landed property in Nigeria, with legal title documents included.
• I have employees and clients who depend on my leadership and availability. On
• I have close family ties and responsibilities in Nigeria.



Potential Weaknesses (Based on Embassy’s Perspective):Ties to Home Country May Lack Specificity:While the letter lists strong ties (e.g., CEO role, MBA program, contracts), it doesn’t provide specific details to prove these ties require his physical presence in Nigeria immediately after the trip. For example:The MBA program is mentioned, but there’s no indication of specific academic obligations (e.g., exams or classes) during or shortly after July 2025.The government contract is noted, but there’s no evidence of specific deadlines or tasks tied to his presence post-trip.Family ties are mentioned vaguely without details (e.g., dependents or specific responsibilities).Embassies often look for concrete, time-bound obligations that make overstaying unlikely.
