Hello everyone,

I am about to start drafting the letter of appeal regarding our French visitors’ visas refusal. I want to know if it must be in French because I don’t understand French or is it okay in English language as well? Gurus should please help a brother. Thanks in anticipation.

HRprof:


The appeal should be in French language and must be submitted in France �� check your refusal letter to know where to summit your appeal the address is written on the letter

Thanks. The address is written on the refusal letter but how do they expect an English-speaking person from an English-speaking nation like Nigeria to appeal in french language? I have appealed in the past against a visa refusal at the German consulate and it was entirely in English language. Is this a deliberate attempt to frustrate the whole process or what? Has anyone here appealed against a French visa refusal and what the language of the appeal?

N.B: This is a question about Austria Schengen visa.
I and my wife applied for Austrian Tourist visa since 22nd of October.... and till now we're yet to get any response...
Reason of visit is for Christmas Holiday.
We're first time visitor to Europe.
Just wondering if anyone have an idea of what's going on.
I've sent several email with no response to their embassy.
N.B: I'm asking on this thread because there's none for Austrian Tourist and I actually read this thread to for required documents....

Thank you

Hello house

It seems France and schengen countries are not really popular with Nigerians cos I notice this thread is not active at all.

What do you guys think of any propose application this December considering the new COVID 19 variant ravaging Europe and the world at large?

rebless:


Although appeal is acceptable but if it’s all kind of short stay visa apart from business visa I’ll advise you to reapply you can first share the documents submitted and the reason for your refusal so that you can work on your weakness before reapplying because non speaking English don’t give Nigerians some privileges when it comes to dealings in other words they don’t believe you have outright right to get their visa si their appeal is more like a formality that’s why they even expect you to write in French language they know you don’t understand.


Germany �� visa appeal still works well.

You are still asking again!! The appeal language is French. I have been refused visa before and my inviter appealed for me in French language over there we got an acknowledgment letter in French and didn’t hear from them again , that was in 2019 but I reply and got my visa. I have gotten visa twice since. Appeal is a waste of time

esdajo:
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.

mialate:

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.

Hello everyone.

There is nothing to think about. Withdraw your application and retrieve your passport.
