Ozzz: Letters are better addressed to their office in your place of residence/submission. You don’t know for certainty which of their offices will treat your application, it could go to Pretoria, Istanbul or even Dubai as it used to happen just a few years ago. The “Anifowose” address wins it IMO.... 5 Likes |

shithapuns: You disturb that page too much, I think 5 times within 24hrs period, you are blocked a few days. You can’t do sh*t till time is completely served! Not like you will lose your visa fees yet though, you just have to do time.... If there’s an extra or dud profile maybe of a family member without a scheduled appointment or something, you can use it to monitor. If you get what you want, you can then quickly go to your profile and do the needful. 2 Likes |

fkj950ax: True that.... However, this may have clicked if there existed a previous travel history with the young man included as it seems. The travel itinerary part isn’t well covered IMO. These too aren’t the best of times to be headed out in those direction of the US, places like Anaheim, Carlifornia may just have cut this better for all three of them. Just speculating anyways! 1 Like |

wuki: Don't you think this however can be done right at the point leading up to the interview as your profile is pulled up and during the interview? The major check I believe is done after visa approval during interview before the visa sticker itself gets affixed to your passport. I did submit a DS160 form in the early hours of the interview date, it did pull through successfully, I have seen other similar late submissions too. I wonder then at what point this almighty background check was done on the application. I think the background check thing is overrated and maybe "exaggerated" at different levels. VOs here and on other platforms have said the thought in our heads of that "major background check" that happens before interviews is almost as good as BS, there's already in the system some sort of software or whatever that may be called to run a check on you with on the needed areas once your profile is pulled up for interview. The IT geeks and those savvy in this field can help out further, but this is what it is.... Whew! Still doing catchup on my most loved thread on NL, will be done soon. I see all the many roforofo, walahi, "kolo" full this thread "aswearit down"! Page 171 now, 11 more pages to go.... 2 Likes |

ty01: @the bolded is fair enough in my understanding, it most likely isn’t the issue then, and it couldn’t be coming from your other visa usage too as it seems. You didn’t touch on the below quote in blue, no offence intended please, just trying to zero in on what may have gone wrong based on my understanding of your lead post sir. “But then, were these in-laws’ details stated in your application, and how did they get into Canada? There may be a strong perception by the VO of deliberate dissociation of self from them for evasive reasons due to one shortcoming or the other, and even a personal ulterior motive.” Regards! 2 Likes |

josephb: You should have had and used a previous double/multiple entry Schengen Tourists/Visitors Visa as some sort of prerequisite, and must be able to demonstrate that you are or you will be a frequent traveller to the territory, especially with that previous visa, there are exceptions though, your job and its required frequent schengen travels for instance. And that you understand the 90 in 180 days rule of their visa usage. My understanding though. 1 Like |

ty01: Profile comes across as pretty sound, and strong. But then, were these in-laws’ details stated in your application, and how did they get into Canada? There may be a strong perception by the VO of deliberate dissociation of self from them for evasive reasons due to one shortcoming or the other, and even a personal ulterior motive. Have you ever overstayed your visa/approved POE days elsewhere? Payments for son’s birth, how reasonable were the figures paid? Wow!

josephb: Yes, it can be used as such. All travels within the territory is considered as local, as long as you do not go out of the territory within that one visit, you are good and covered. The visa only admits you once into the territory, and you can move within member states freely by the various means of transportation, be careful however not to do a documented visit to other member state that exceeds the number of days done in the particular visa issuing State which is France in your case, such could brew issues for you in the nearest future.

mialate: Thanks jare! Didn’t they give you an option to update your card within 24hrs or so? They normally do though. Cases can be different however. I have had the opportunity to quickly change card (this was during that FOREX crisis period) and have them process whatever they wanted to process. Changed my Fidelity Bank naira card with my GTB USD card, and that worked perfectly. There are times they even just take something small out of the card, maybe less than $5, just to verify your card, and they return it after sometime too. 1 Like |

wiseman77: Wow! Why will they tell you that? Or is it the type of ticket that requires you changing airport in Paris, maybe CDG to ORLY or something? As long as you are not changing airports, no wahala. I think I had a technical stop from DXB at Milan Malpensa enroute JFK earlier in the year sef, all that happened was just one airside check like that and we were back in the plane without ish. But trust me, if the price is right and you are not required to change airport in the schengen zone, you don't need no transit visa, you will be just fine. Go ahead please! 1 Like |

wiseman77: Not correct if you are a Nigeria Passport holder, have a US visa and are headed to the the US on transit via one schengen airport only. You will only have problem if your transit is say in Paris and in Amsterdam also on one of the legs of the trip, that will be transiting two schengen countries, it won’t work to the best of my knowledge. 2 Likes |

davodyguy: Why speak with so much authority? Well, my experience these past few weeks is what I just put up here. It’s not compulsory you believe. Just first make the mistake of submitting an application to these embassies with any of these bookings done with unfunded cards, and then they go on to cancel it, you will then understand what the time says, if you like, use all the filters you can think of, you will understand at some point. Hope you know they mostly have it as part of your booking conditions that they can try to access the money in your card at any point in time, and that this point can be after you have submitted your application? I just got refunded one of my reservation’s money on Friday after it was withheld for over two weeks, the others - some up to three weeks - are still being withheld, including the one I’ve cancelled by myself. I however know that I will be refunded most definitely. And I think I’m much more comfortable with this their approach, instead of them canceling my reservation out midway into my visa application’s submission. LESSON: Dud and unfunded cards as at today will sure get applicants into trouble per their hotel bookings if not extra careful. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Till lately Houston was more of our people’s destination for childbirthing because of mass following/mad rush and all immediately one person drops details, nobody cares to research again.
