When we now got into the train from Chǎtelet to Gare Du Nord, some bastards attempted again to rob me by putting hands into my pocket

davodyguy:
Definition of chaos is Paris.

We were rushing for subway like ẹkọ Idumota.

They pushed me and pushed them back.

I fell on my wife, others fell on me.

This terrible and shameful

Beverlyhills:
Its 30 days Number of Entries: Single entry. Visa Fees: 40Usd.




quote author=davodyguy post=85086840]
But that 30 days can be spread and not necessarily in one stretch within the visa Validity period

davodyguy:
Do you plan on reapplying?

As I do advise a lot of people, immigration officers are like HR Managers who don't know visa applicants and would require as much information they can get.

Australia and NZL visas are some of the most difficult visas to obtain.

In 2017 over 25 of us applied, they gave about 5 of us AU visa.

In June, 2019 About 10 of us applied, 6 were denied on first trial, but I was given with 3 others. 4 out of the initial 6 were also given on second application. We loaded their reapplications with more information

The only reason I can think of was overloading them with information, thanks to Femijck, a Nairalander. The guy is based in Auckland and was just giving advice as and when due.

I loaded the Immigration officer documents so tey, hmm no be small thing.

They just want to be sure you're not going to become liability by choosing not to return

davodyguy:
It's man made mistake.

Do you plan on reapplying?

What was the message given for the refusal?

Was your visa denied?

Some Nigerian banks (due to risk of stolen cards) actually prevent online payment via cards. Zenith Bank does. They require second authorization before they debit for hotels in some countries

davodyguy:
For real?

davodyguy:
If you use the filter as I posited above, you can always find a couple of hotels or apartments that are free of charge even on Airbnb.

Before settling for one hotel in Istanbul a couple of days ago, I reserved 4 different hotels with Pay later option. I only cancelled more than 2 weeks after our choices have been made

See below quote. The hotel practically 'begged' that I cancel 1 out of two



see the terms below


Today being 2/12/2019, I could have waited till 13th December and still cancel for free and no prepayment made or card charged
Same for Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam hotel reservations

hajimuktar:
@Mialate My case is almost similar to yours,I was refused on being single,please did u reapply? and if u did how did u go about convincing d ECO dat u will will return back home?

Solatium:
There is no known format of doing that,just put pen to paper and write anything logical,your creativity and deep thinking can help you a great deal............A Quick look at Human rights and 1950 convention might be of help,you can look that up and let part of it for your basis of argument.here is some part of it which I culled out that can aid you.



Article 14 - discrimination
Article 14 contains a prohibition of discrimination. This prohibition is broad in some ways, and narrow in others. It is broad in that it prohibits discrimination under a potentially unlimited number of grounds. While the article specifically prohibits discrimination based on "sex, race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, association with a national minority, property, birth or other status", the last of these allows the court to extend to Article 14 protection to other grounds not specifically mentioned such as has been done regarding discrimination based on a person's sexual orientation.
At the same time the article's protection is limited in that it only prohibits discrimination with respect to rights under the Convention. Thus, an applicant must prove discrimination in the enjoyment of a specific right that is guaranteed elsewhere in the Convention (e.g. discrimination based on sex - Article 14 - in the enjoyment of the right to freedom of expression - Article 10). It has been said that laws regarding familial sexual relationships (or incest) are in breach of Article 14 when combined with Article 8. [26]
Protocol 12 extends this prohibition to cover discrimination in any legal right, even when that legal right is not protected under the Convention, so long as it is provided for in national law.

@Mailata. I absolutely agree with@Solatium that you should write for a review. Eventough they may not over turn the ECO decision, the review will be kept in your file for future reference in case you apply again.

Solatium:
This is discriminatory,it has never been heard anywhere that you are denied a visa based on your marital status,i'm cork sure if it were based on sexual orientation this would have sparked some outrage......Do not reapply without asking for a review on this

ekpotek:
@Mialate. Sorry to hear about your refusal. It is very painful after one have put in everything to make it work. The reasons for the refusal is petty as I know a lot of single applicants getting visa. It's just hard luck.

ekpotek:
If the TLS information have been updated then go and collect your passport.

mialate:
I got a decision email. Hope for the best. It will end in praise. Like the gurus here always say: You know your faith when you picked your package.

EggPlant:
I got a mail 3hours ago that "unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service targets. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible" Someone once said once you get this mail, its usually denial. Still keeping my hopes up.
