Ladybii, Go alone or work on more funds.

1 person can work with that amount when applying not 2 persons.

Ladybii:
Am looking at 7 or 8 days maximum.
TravelRe: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by mialate: 1:02pm On Mar 02, 2022
After the trip , you both have 1m left to Survive on doesn't look good.

How many days are you guys going for?

Either hold on to get more Funds OR you apply alone that way the funds works.

Yes you can use the Personal as its Tourism.

Ladybii:
Yes both of us have been to the us. I think it will be enough and about 1m left, please can u check my ither questions, sorry
TravelRe: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by mialate: 12:51pm On Mar 02, 2022
Please give the Schengen Region some space.

You are clearly Visa Shopping by going to Germany now.

They share one Database.

B) Get only events with refundable policies. Any well known event usually issues a Visa letter with your event ticket.
Any event you intend to attend should be in your field and the benefits of this event with respect to your career advancement.

Itinerary should be your Event Schedules.

Yes definitely I will give France some space for now, but I'm thinking I should apply for Germany conference or event ?

Please is eventseye do refund payment incase the visa is not granted ?

Mialate I mine going to write on a cover letter how the event would be helpful for me to attend and benefit from.

Also my itinerary would be the duration of the event I wanted to attend right ? No any other sightseeing to be attach? just the duration of the event?

Thanks so much bro, I will need you to guide me when I'm ready although I have booked for Germany appointment yesterday.[/quote]

Meljoe, you have been to the US and come back.You have clearly overcome the absconding rule.

However, include all the necessary document dont think the US visa will do the magic as advised already.

Dot all the i's and cross all the t's. Good luck.

@Beverly

You advised I go for tourist visa instead of business visa because of America visa
TravelRe: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by mialate: 11:28am On Mar 02, 2022
Ladybiii, First have you both been to the US together?
If yes, weigh the cost of the trip for both of you and check the balance left on your account after the said trip.

If the balance doesnt look good after expense, Apply alone.




quote author=Ladybii post=110674117]Please gurus in the house help me

I want to apply for uk or France visa, been to the US before couple of times.

My concerns are- must I submit business and personal statement of acct. Reason I ask is sometime last month, I withdrew almost all the money in my business acct to buy goods left only about 5k, I avoided my personal because of this visa thing. Now I want to submit just personal account dont know if it's feasible .can't I use just personal acct for the visa application

2- has anyone done the above and succeeded

3- can a wife statement of account go for both husband and wife applying

4- can someone help with link to apply and book appointment date as I have been to the US before (I see there's frequent traveler and no travel history links are not the same) from my understanding if what I read here, pls correct me if am wrong.

4- do u advise I apply alone, my husband's account for now isn't good, lump sums deposited and we just acquired a property so it's down now . Or I can sponsor as mine is above 3m, with good inflow and outflow

Please help please . Thank u[/quote]

TravelRe: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by mialate: 7:45pm On Mar 01, 2022
I can imagine it happens. Please take a trip somewhere else if you can possibly use same Vacation period you stated . Go and Come back , give some time then put in another application.

Like Beverlyhills said, its the Generic response when they dont feel like issuing a Visa.

Some Countries will grant you an Entry visa

Good evening guys,
Please I need your help because right now I am really frustrated, there was a error on my UK VISA VIGNETTE, my agent made ma mistake while filling online form, for my departure date he imputed 15/10/2022 as opposed 15/01/2022, so when my visa came it’s validation starts 15/10/2022 and my school resumed 26th of January, I mailed them immediately to help me correct the error that I was supposed to leave Nigeria by January not October, they asked for some information which I forwarded to them and they replied by saying they ll get back to me within 15 workings days, it’s 15working days already and I have gotten any feedback from them, paid for another mail today, they said they ll get back to me within another 5 working days, it’s really causing me sleepless nights. Pls any suggestions will be welcomed.
TravelRe: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by mialate: 11:12am On Feb 24, 2022
You can send them an email for details on how to book for the event.

Find an event that meets your requirement, scroll to the end. You find the Venue, the event Organizer and the Event website .
Click on the event website for further confirmation.

Telephone Numbers are included and they are Verifitable ...

Picture below is an Example.

Compare and Contrast.

TravelRe: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by mialate:
1. The EU sign in the middle area to the left is faulty.

The yellow stars around the EU in the blue box - Top left hand side.

2. On the Abuja stamp, where is the issuing officer's signature?

Lots of discrepancies.

Question : Did you get to VFS atall or the Agent said its the usual Non Appearance?

Biometrics?

You have been guided on how to fill that form.

There's nothing complex in filling it. Your application is time based due to your School dates.

TravelRe: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by mialate: 6:52pm On Feb 17, 2022
Its not the Proposed travel date. You need closure atleast.

Proceed with the Calls and email.




Donbaba123:
Thanks brozay, was even thinking maybe because my traveling date is May 20, which might too far before applying for the visa.
TravelRe: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by mialate: 5:59pm On Feb 17, 2022
In my opinion, Call any of these number to make a formal complaint. They may just ignore your email.

234 802 290 46 97
+234 803 301 22 57
+234 810 767 65 23
01 462 8484

Explain to them that your Processed Passport came with a refusal letter indicating no reason why the application was refused.

its fair enough they give you a letter stating the reason .Then the reason if any can be addressed before you reapply.

TravelRe: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by mialate: 7:34am On Feb 17, 2022
Include that in the letter, be more concise and straight to the point. Dont scatter around the information to confuse the Visa Officer .


Iwuchineme:
Hello about this....My school main campus is in germany but i will be starting in their partners school in france and then finish up in germany...is it neecessary i input it in my cover letter because all the documents i have is from the campus in france except my tuition fees receipts which bears my main school name in partnership with my school in france...i don't know if it's okay to talk about it on the cover letter also there is a policy of 50% tuition fees to be paid before visa then remaining 50% after visa which i did...Should i also include it?

Secondly my receipt bears a different start and and end date from my France admission letter as dates were shifted after i got my receipts and the france campus isn't one issuing receipts it's been done by my main campus i don't know if that will affect me
while submitting my documents .

He or She considering the resumption time may have decided to reapply rather than going the appeal route.

However, Since you are reapplying make sure the Campus France Document and the tuition receipts are included . Seize the Opportunity to address the First refusal and the omission with the Tuition Receipts in the first application while drafting your Cover Letter.
