If your visa expired 5 years ago you don’t qualify as a first timer. I have also visited the following countries over 5 years ago, Mexico and Argentina.
I will be going for my USA interview next week because,I will be going to Paris from USA.

Cheers.

The statement of the 2 company accounts which has about 300ml inflow and outflow for 3months hubby's personal account 40ml, insurance, marriage cert, 2letters from from bank as the sole signatory owner if the company,children 's birth cert, personal introductory letter. Then office told him to remove out pictures, school fees and landed docs with cars. Previous visas US UK, China, Dubai, Jordan only hubby holds a she gen visa before. Current visa US and Uk.

The last line gave the reasons as to authenticity of documents submitted. What documents did you submit in your application? Did you have sufficient funds for the trip for all 5 people In your application or insurance for the duration etc.

One would need more information on your application documents submitted to be able to throw some more light

Hi Blessedsteph, thank you so much for this information. Please just for confirmation, is it 28 working days stated or just 28 days?

Blessedsteph:


Hi Dami any luck with your Italian visa? How many days has it been now? Got a call from British embassy yesterday asking me to submit my passport to TLS contact. Exactly a week after biometrics.

dami24:


Hasn’t been returned yet…. I mailed them asking them to return the passport that I need it for something…. They responded asking for details and asked for bank statement…. I mailed them again on Friday asking to please just return the passport. They responded on Monday that they will return it that Monday. I am still waiting. Today is like our 26 or 27th working day to return it to ukvi😭

pufframmy:
wow congratulations what are the documents u submit for the visa

Blessedsteph:

Hello house..great platform here.

For those that went through the conference route, pls how did you go about accommodation? The thing is I had already started the processing through an agent before I came was fortunate to stumble on this thread 3days ago.
My agent said someone will come pick me up after landing but I'm trying to work on a plan B incase his own link fails to work or show.

Ayinke93:


Conference route? Someone coming to pick you up? Are you sure you are not about to get scammed?

tifelola:


That's why I say make I ask o..will give him a call regards that

Ayinke93:


Be careful with agents. Many times they put together fake documents for unsuspecting victims and completely jeopardize any possible chance to get visas in future. If you must engage the help of any agency, contact registered immigration law firms.

directonpc:


Submitted my documents today. Patiently waiting

thelma76:


Goodluck! Belgium takes their precious time to respond. But usually update application status via VOW in 3 weeks approximately

dami24:


Oh UK visit visa will definitely be ready before 8th June. We submitted for UK on a Wednesday and by Thursday the following week, they called for passport return. We really should have just waited but were trying to avoid traveling to Abuja twice for application submissions

realmidas:
Okay, so is this a coincidence or do these officials read these threads? Right after my rant, I Got a notification on Friday 19th, and the passport was delivered today. Visa issued by the Italian Embassy.
Docs submitted:
1 Intro Letter stating the purpose for travel including a summary of my proposed itinerary. I ALSO disclosed the fact that I planned to visit Greece and France after Italy. Visiting multiple Schengen countries as part of your vacation really is inconsequential to their decision-making process in my opinion. Be honest folks.
2 Completed form
3 Bank Statement 4 months
4 Company Letters confirming status
5 Insurance Cert (worldwide cover)
6 Hotel Booking(s)
7 Flight Itinerary
8 Photocopies of previous (as far back as 2013) and current visas

I am a frequent traveler to the US, UK, SA, Seychelles, Mauritius, etc.

I don't see why folks rush the French embassy via VFS. The experience at TLS (for me) was superior with little to no delays at the center. But Italians like to take their time so expect a 1-month wait for their decision. Renewing my 10-year UK visa was also a breeze at TLS.

Teegal215:



How long did it take for UK to return the passport to you after you submitted it?

Blessedsteph:

Mine took a day. Submitted 11am and the next day before 10am I got a collection mail (TLs Abuja)

Teegal215:



How many years uk visa did you have before applying for 10years? how long did it take to get your passport back from uk?
