Thank you.

Additional documents not submitted in the initial application like property ownership documents and some other documents as well that were not initially submitted at the application stage. The only document that was resubmitted was my corporate bank account statement to prove financial viability because there had been more positive inflows since the last time we applied.

Hello, please was it only the appeal letter you sent or alongside all the documents you used in applying initially? OR the appeal letter and additional documents (those not included in the initial application) to plead or support your points in the appeal letter?

Hello, i was refused in 2019. I wrote my appeal letter and used google translator to translate . It wasn't perfect but then they will understand it ..LOL.

After translating i sent to my friend in Paris as an email attachment , she printed and assisted me to mail to Nantes.

I did so because i wasnt expecting an overturn in the decision but for a better assessment in my next application.

I tried after some months and i was granted .

Thanks to @Beverlyhills for advising me to appeal the decision.








quote author=esdajo post=108220027]I already got the part where the appeal is to be in french. However, as for the second part, you can't completely rule out the efficacy of the appeal process. It might have played a role in you getting the visas subsequently after the initial refusal. My guess is that at least subsequent appeals would be treated on their merits and not against the backdrop of the previous refusal.

Thanks for the response. Self-employed - I run digital services as a freelancer. Working on my CAC. What other document(s) do I need?

Hello,

Please what are the requirements for a visitor's visa to the UK? I'm a first time traveller and my sister and her husband, who are resident in the UK, are sponsoring. Kindly help with requirements + the process.

I've gone through plenty pages already to avoid asking this question but I didn't see a list. Somebody please help me. Thanks!

Thanks so much. Yes, she's legal (It's for Netherlands but it's the France embassy that handles short stay visa on behalf of Netherlands). We will include the tips you shared as well. Thank you.

Not a problem, I will share that with you, given your circumstance.
If your sister is Legal in France, then I will advise you to also include a letter from her stating that she would require her mum's support (being a first time mum) for some weeks or months as she just put to bed. She needs to also emphasis that your mum will return subsequently to continue to take care of her husband (your dad).
Your dad should also include a letter of introduction supporting and approving of his wife's trip to take care of his grand daughter.
If your mum works, include documents supporting her business as well - this also serves as a tie to return home.

Hello, congrats on this! This has boost my morale not to give up. Please can you help with the email address and possibly, the email template to serve as a guide. We applied for my mum on November 1st and it was denied. We got the feedback on the 8th. It was on the basis that they are unsure if she will leave the schengen country by the expiration of her visa. We got extra supporting documents (land and pension statement for the last 3 months). Appealing will take a longer so we decided to reapply but there are currently no slots. My sister, who is a first time mum just delivered and she needs help. We are so worried. My mum was supposed to travel 23rd November. Hence, the urgency and the need for my mum to travel. My mum just wants to go and help her with the baby (her grand daughter). Please kindly help us. I kept checking for a way out online when I found this nairaland thread and opened an account. Please I will appreciate your help and feedback. Thank you so much in anticipation of a favourable response.


Thought I should share my recent experience and lesson learnt about this France visa application thing.
So I attempted to book an appointment and all available slots were already taken. I called my contacts at VFS and they couldn't help either. I was almost giving up and already considering going to Ghana for the planned vacation. But I decided to give it a final fight before giving up. So I wrote a strongly worded email to the consulate general expressing my dissatisfaction with the appointment booking process. I also explained that the trip to Paris is very important to my family and I and would like the consulate to intervene and let me know the next steps. After 3 days, lo and behold, I got an email asking for the time convenient for me for my submission. I was pleasantly surprised and I replied with my preferred date and time.
I submitted the applications and got my passport with the visa stamp within 3 days. Yes you heard me, 3 days my visa was in my hands![/quote]
