Hi all,

Kudos to you all who are in one way or the other helping to answer questions inorder make life a bit easier for us.

Please i am about to apply for French visa, my sister's husband is going to send an invite.

My question or rather my fear is that i dont know if i will be granted visa based on the following;

1. I applied for American visa last year but was denied due to lack or no enough tie to my country. I am married but when I was filling the American visa application form i filled single for a reason but i am planning to fill married on my French application form. I just want to know if there will be an issue with this. i was told that this western countries have a central system which they have everyones information that has applied to a country bfor.

2. At the moment i am not working i resigned in other to start up my own company and am in the process of setting it up. so i just wanted to quickly visit my sister and her huband bfor the business starts properly. I have my certificate of incorporation already but i havent started yet cause am still processing other certificates particularly for this my line of business.

3. i have a landed property

4. i have a personal bank statement of about 3m

5. i am living in a rented apartment which is in my name

6. i have been to dubai once, thats the only travel history i have.

Please my question is this, based on the above do you think am eligible? And what other things must i add or do to make me eligible.

Please kindly list supporting documents i can submits to help secure thier visa please.

Please all, i eargerly look forward to your responds. thanks and God bless.

My main destination is Germany. I have an invitation letter from a German Company on business related trip, but unfortunately there is no appointment window for Germany visa interview. My question is can I try applying through France, and if yes, what documents will be required?

I submitted my application on the 17th and picked up my visa today. I’m excited.

You are required to apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination for a visa, and thus Germany and only Germany.

French embassy will not ask you anything related to your US application. So you are good to apply with any personal information you want single or married, it’s your call

I don’t really too much about student visa but I think you only need a one-way flight reservation for student visa.

Have you gotten admission already?

This post below should give you a hint on how to proceed. smiley


Nowayo4Real:
Firstly, I got to know about the course from this site www.mastersportal.com. I applied, passed their Skype interview, and was accepted for admission.

I contacted Campus France, who gave me the checklist of documents that I would need to provide for visa consideration.

I gathered all the documents as specified in the checklist, went for campus France interview, after that, I proceeded to VFS for submission. Unfortunately, I couldn't submit it the same day because I went with 6months SOA which I was asked to go back and bring that of 3months.

For insurance, the start date must be the intended date of your travel.
SOA must be 3months. If your working, get your employment letter attested by Chamber of Commerce, and also a recommendation letter from your company.

For flight, book in the morning of your interview or a day before.

Accommodation, (hmmmmmm, sign of relief), although my school made it simple, but what you should know is that, the earlier you start, the better if your school can't assist.

Lastly, your SOA must show a proof of at least €615/month for the whole period of your study.

Above all, Pray Until Something Happen (PUSH).

I think this helps. Should you have further or specific question, please do not hesitate to bring it forward here for the Gurus in the house to assist.

Je nous souhaite tout le meilleur.

Hello Nairalanders,

Thanks to all those that contribute to this platform weather or not they were granted Visa. Your impute is greatly appreciated.
Although I didnt ask questions, just reading personal testimonies and guidelines from many of you gave me all the information I needed. Now let me share mine.

Firstly, my Schengen Visa through france only took 5days. My appointment was 23rd January 2019, I got notification that my application has been transferred to Visa office on 24th Jan, on the 31st Feburary I got a mail to come pick up my passport. Getting the mail to come pick up my passport made me kinda worried, cos decision process was so short. But I refused to be worried. I went to the VFS office today 1st Feb, to pick up my passport and Lo my passport was stamped with 30days short stay visa.

I intend going to Paris and Venice a total of 7days with my boyfriend, sisters and their husbands. I explained this in my cover letter and also mentioned I will be travelling to Paris from London. These are the documents I submitted:

Cover Letter
Already paid Uk flight return ticket
Already paid France flight return ticket
Intl passport
Travel insurance: I used "insure and Go" its a uk based insurance company, my boyfriend did that for me.
France and Venice Hotel booking: from booking.com, I didnt pay, I just uploaded my credit card details
6months Payslips from my office: I earn 130k a month
Proof of Pension
Contract letter from my office
Promotion letter from my office
Leave approval
3months bank statement from sponsor
Sponsor payslips
Letter of introduction/sponsorship from sponsor
ID of sponsor
My own work ID
I did not submit my own bank statement I wont be sponsoring the trip.

I took all these alongside my application form on wednesday last week and thursday this week my visa was approved.

I hope this helps someone
