Currently at Alausa for Capturing DIY.

They have started calling the names of people and have called us DIY people to submit the application form printout. I have done that.
Waiting for the next action….
Today looks like I am gonna wait and be patient enough.

Please if you have gone via the DIY process at ALAUSA please share the procedure so that I will know what I am waiting for next.

Neatly used,
hp gaming laptop,Keyboard Light,
finger print, beats audio(very crystal clear)

available for pick up and negotiable,

But my south africa sticker visa was rejected last time I went for submission last year

HRprof:
All sticker visa is accepted but stamp visa is not accepted like Dubai and all African countries with stamp visa
The challenge he has is overstayed visa which might affect him.

Alright

Good evening Everyone.

Please I have appointment this week for France Tourist Visa, first application. I have a travel history to Turkey on my previous passport with an over stay, which I paid the visa violation fee before returning.
My Question is, should I include the Turkey Travel history to my documents to boost my chances during submission, or would it be like shooting myself on the leg due to the Visa violation?

Please help me my people.

i never said so

CONGRATULATIONS BRO
how many yeat course and
what ur final balance when applying as self sponsor

viclove04:
Good day, Everyone.

I am here to share my testimony so as to encourage others not to give up. I also read the success stories of others and learnt a lot and I am very excited to share mine with you all.

First Application - June 18, 2021
Refusal - Sept 21, 2021
Application for gcms notes - Sept 21,2021
Gcms notes received - Oct 27, 2021


Second Application - April 13, 2022
PPR - June 1, 2022

What did I do differently?
The refusal was based on two grounds - Purpose of my visit and Personal assets and financial status.
From the gcms notes, the rationale for those reasons were pointed out.

The first time, I did it all by myself. The second time, I decided this time around I needed the guidance of an expert to give it my best shot as I re-apply and so I contacted @justmellow of gcmswriters. website :www.gcmswriters.com and IG/Twitter/Telegram: @GCMSWriters handle. He is in deed an expert and can tackle refusal cases. He was my guide all through the process and he also wrote the two powerful write ups I submitted - The LOE and SOP.

For my first reason of Purpose of visit, that was tackled through the wonderful compelling write ups. The VO made an error by concluding that my choice of program and previous study and employment history had no correlation. That was wrong. My program was perfectly in line with my employment history and that was spelt out clearly in the LOE submitted.


For the second reason that has to do with financial status and personal assets, a lot of work had to be done here on this serious issue for about 6 months. That was from October 2021 till April 2022, I tell you, a whole lot of work really had to be done to build my financial status so that a better financial representation can submitted this time around. My bank accounts had to run for 6 months, from October all the way to April to give a better outcome. More assets and investments had to be put into the application. Investments, business and employment documents and so on were put in plus the outstanding letter of re-consideration that was very mind blowing and technical.

This time around, I applied as Self sponsored and did not use "third party sponsor" as I did in the first application.

I tackled every point written by the VO in my gcms notes and left no stone unturned with the help of the exceptional guide who helped me all the way.
When it was time to submit, he went through the final compilation and vetted, certified it good to go and I submitted it myself via my GCkey account.

To cut the long story short, I got the wonderful news on June 1, 2022. I am so excited. I am very happy I didn't give up and decided to re-fire. The truth is - I was very discouraged and almost gave up but I am happy I gave a shot and a better one at that the second time.

I give God the glory for making this a reality. And I want to encourage you all not to give up. Many got theirs on the 2nd and 3rd attempts. Just apply for your gcms notes to get a clearer picture and the exact red flags pointed out and give it another shot. Don't give up, just believe God, put in your best, get all the professional guidance you can get and it will come out successful. Wishing you all the very best.
Glory to God!!!

amen

Point Of Entry Story (POE) – Favour all the way

Lagos- London- Dallas

Airline British Airways 10.55pm flight. No transit Visa required

I did my covid test with Medbury in Lekki phase 1, Dropped my sample by 8am , result received by 2pm same day.

Luggage – 2 of 23kg bags one dedicated for food stuff ( dryfish, egusi, ogbono, Okpei, crayfish, pepper) the other my clothes and food items that doesn’t smell like Maggi crayfish, groundnuts. My bag pack had chin chin and my shoes

Got to the airport, custom guys looked at me from head to toe and asked me to go.

My luggage was 23.47 and 23.8 kg each , this was waved

Immigration cleared after slipping thru my passport so many times, he started asking for something but I ignored

The lady at the scanner after immigration complained ( in a polite way) about the quantity of chin chin in my bag pack- I dropped 1k for her

Met some guys that the table in one corner asking for the money that I am travelling with. I brought it out and showed them ( small cos I had my card with me), they started threatening to search me I asked them to do. The next thing is that they started begging for money. I ignored them

BA was a fully booked flight, we board without hassels- By the side – KLM had to reweight their passengers back pack before boarding. They were mean about it.

Feeding on board BA was ok from Lagos to London . The airline was old thou

We landed By 5.XX am everywhere was so bright.

Moved to departure section of the Airport.

Boarding started by 8am for American Airline to Dallas

The chin chin is my backpack passed control. I had to declare the eye drop and small sanitizer in my hand luggage. No issues because they were in a small pack

Board American airways flight. New airline, breakfast was English breakfast. No other meal, the gave us ice cream like 4 hours later and drinks 40minutes to landing. Stingy for a 9 hours flight

Landed at Dallas DFW by 12noon

CentennialGuy:
I should probably have done this. Waiting for travel date to arrive is boring. Everything around me annoys me now. Lol.

Congrats on your successful landing.

Amen what is the process you use to get it share with others too to gain experience

Uwaiwe:
Yes, I have finally received my Emirates ID. The new format with chips that serves also as residence permit.
It's a two year residence visa and issued from Abu Dhabi Emirates.
There's nothing like embargo on Nigerians residence visa. If took less than 3 weeks to process it.

Nigerians be of good character wherever you are living and we all shall prosper.

QuackZulu:
Na direct

QuackZulu:
Hey bro,

When I applied via VFS Abuja the only option when paying was the Long Stay/Short Stay visa (sort of a catch-all category), however, on the France Visas site I chose the short-stay visa; the plan is study and purpose, student/examination entry

I did not use a cover letter since it was not one of the requirements

congrat in advance ur passport my be in transit to you u can track it with the tracking number on the print out they gave you when submitting

what kind of short study bro mind if u share the school name

QuackZulu:
Hi everyone,

I applied for my short stay study visa last week Tuesday and got an update on Friday that it's with the embassy.

Today, my host University called the embassy and they said my passport was picked up yesterday but I am yet to get any update from vfs abuja (via email or text).

I paid for courier as well and I am to travel to France this Sunday.

Do you think my passport will get to me on time?

For those who have applied in the past, how long did it take to get your visa couriered from Abuja to you in states such as Rivers State?

I will also try calling vfs tomorrow, hopefully they will be willing to courier it on time.

Thank you for your help

hope ur NIN was validated before going for capturing

larade16:
I have always included Eiffel tower as well as Louvre Museum in my itineraries the 3 times i have applied and I haven’t had issues…you can’t get tired of those two places, so I think you should be fine. But if you are in doubt, you can search other places.
