in those days whatsapp groups use to be very common here, do we still have them for any of these schengen countries. They served as great connecting points

Submitted application at TLS Lagos today. Received email that it's been sent to Consular authority, fingers crossed.
Hoping that France will once again prove themselves for speedy processing than the Italians.

By the way, what qualifies one as a frequent traveller?

Do people really travel much during this season? I'd have thought it's cold and therefore should have less people.

No please. France processes her visa application for only 15 working days excluded of weekends( Saturday and Sunday). In most situations, it takes maximum of 20 working days to get it processed.

I wish you great success. I submitted mine Nov 5 and I keep waiting patiently for a positive response from them!

You probably didn't understand the post before quoting it

Days of the week (7days with weekend)
Working days of the week (5 days excluding weekend)

By saying

France about 15 to 20 days (including weekends) in my post, it means:

15 days including weekend = 10 working days
20 days including weekend = 15 working days

No it doesn't. Select no for both and then move on.

Yeah, but it didn't result into a visa. If you select yes, you'll have to compulsorily provide a visa number, which you do not have since you said you've not gotten their visa before.

The question was not properly framed. Probably because they are not native English speakers.

A simple insertion of 'successful' will reduce the confusion usually faced at this section.

Have your digital fingerprints previously been taken in connection with a previous 'successful' application for a Schengen visa?

Isn't it too early to reapply?

You were refused for a reason. Have you attempted to address that reason between 15th November to today 19th November, 2024?

I don't think is too early. They said there are reasonable doubts I will leave the territory of the member states before the visa expires.

And do you think you will be able to properly address their concerns in a better way than what you did before?

Its always better to give it some time, except if you have an important info to share, which was omitted from your previous application, and is expected to significantly influence the outcome.

Hi Guys ! I've just received an email for my france visa application , requesting for additional document.

Finance : Proof of own resources ... Any document explaining how you finance yourself.

I'm a small scale farmer and also a student . How do I tackle this request ?

I would welcome all suggestions please..

Ideally, one needs a resident permit of a country different from one's country of orign if applying for visa to another country from there.

But some few people seem to get away with this. I personally know someone on visit visa to the UK, who applied for a US visa from there and got it.

Anyone with ideas please ??

You can apply for a US visa from anywhere, as long as you are legally present in the country.

And you want to apply for visa in another country as a foreign passport holder?

Don't waste money

From the below, it'd seem the US will not request for a resident permit like other countries.


You should generally schedule an appointment for your visa interview at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the country where you live. You may schedule your interview at another U.S. Embassy or Consulate where you will be present but aware that in some cases it may be more difficult to demostrate your qualifications for a visa outside of the country where you live.
