Frequent Travelers are applicants who have at least 1 previous visa from the schengen , US , UK and Canada.

SO she didnt explained to u also about people who have been to schengen area before?? cause on france booking website that is what i saw there oo

monchat:
I tried their number and got them and the lady explained everything to me. I will advice that we call first to get information from them to clarify ourselves. They frequent traveler are pple that have traveled to Canada, UK, USA.

Well already book appointment i used my previous schengen visa in 2019

HRprof:
If you have travel to schengen countries then you are frequent traveller so what you need to do is to make copies of your schengen visas and submit with your application. Even when you didn't use it, it still count

what of someone that have been to Other Schengan Country can the person book for frequent traveler

HRprof:
For first time tourist visa applicant ! Don't book appointment using frequent travel option because there is no appointment for France first time travel for now on tourist visa. Someone was sent back today at VFS France visa application because of that.

Laishat29:
Yes this is different. You will make the payment for about 25k for VFS processing fee.

hello bro do you mean Someone dont need to give a breakdown of your expenses.? how sure is that pls i need a Guide

Sanmigbola:
Ok, now I understand.

How long is your vacation?

Your budget of £1200 is very ok for your trip, without your dad sponsoring you.

Work docs, documents showing your ties back home like properties, marriage cert, children's birth cert......

Just make use of cheap hotel reservation that will be within your budget and list tourist attraction center you will like to visit.

You don't need to give a breakdown of your expenses.

if am rebooking i will not choose Abuja again o will kuku stay in lagos jeje

Ruggedly:
Mine too was August 11th in Abuja and it was cancelled. Initially it was June 18th and 17th i flew from Lagos to Abuja and payed for hotel and all only to get a mail at 7:30pm that Biden declared Juneteenth and that’s how my interview was rescheduled to August 11 so I had to fly back to Lagos super upset not even knowing the August 11 was gonna be cancelled too ��. Don’t understand what’s going on but I’m not bothered.

cretin:

Tiimmy:
I have been following quite a number of threads in preparation for my F1 visa interview, and I feel it’s only fair I share my experience so as to help someone else.

My visa interview took place in Lagos on the 22nd of July 2021 10:30am.

Visa Transcript -

VO - Good morning, can I have your documents
Me - I greeted him back and proceeded to hand him my i20 and intl passport.

VO - Why are you going to the US
me - I’m going for my Masters of Business Administration & Management at bla bla bla business school in Boston Massachusetts.

VO - Why did you choose this school.
Me - I chose this school because of its central focus on entrepreneurship as well as an exciting elective titled “Business Strategy in emerging Markets”. For some reason the VO guy nodded.

VO - Have you travelled out of Nigeria before?
Me - Yes

VO - Where have you travelled to?
Me - Australia

VO - I see you have a $30k scholarship, how do you intend to cover the rest of your tuition and living expenses?
Me - I have been awarded a student loan by a private company affiliated with the school (I proceeded to hand him a letter from the loan company (prodigy finance) + a sheet with the breakdown of the loan amount, interest rate and loan repayment terms)

VO - How long will it take to pay this money back?
Me - The maximum repayment term is 20years, however because the company uses an APR system, I intend to pay back much sooner to reduce the overall amount I’ll eventually have to pay back. (VO nodded for the second time)

VO - How do you plan to pay this money back?
Me - I have been offered a managerial position in my company (I proceeded to hand over my post-study employment letter from my employer)

VO - (flips through the letter to the salary breakdown section) This amount is your annual salary right?
Me - Yes it is

VO - Are you married?
Me - Yes I am

VO - Do you have any children?
Me - Yes I do. I have a one year old daughter

VO - Why aren’t you travelling with your family?
Me - My wife just started working at a new company less than 6months ago, and she isn’t entitled to an annual leave yet. My daughter is also very young and we have all the help we need in raising our daughter here in Nigeria, in the US we will have no such help. (VO nodded for the third time).

VO - (types fast and said nothing for what felt like 2 long minutes). I’ll be approving your visa, (handed me a white sheet of paper) you can pick your passport up at bla bla bla.

The whole process took less than 5minutes.

My advice to those going for their interview soon -

1. Read through as many visa transcripts on nairaland as you can find. I wasn’t asked any question that I wasn’t prepared for thanks to reading through a lot of transcripts.

2. F1 visa is classified as “non immigrant visa”. You need to show sufficient proof that you have no plans to immigrate permanently to the US. Saying it to the VO is not enough. There were alot of people who said the same “I will be returning to Nigeria after my studies” who got rejected. You need to show proof of ties to Nigeria.

3. Get your financial documents intact. For some reasons most people who had extended family members sponsoring them were denied (eg uncles, aunts, god father etc). You are better off being sponsored by parents or siblings. And they are so much more interested in the careers of your sponsors than just looking through their statement of account details. I didn’t notice anyone being asked for SOA, I certainly wasn’t asked as well (I think they have figured that some people come along with fake SOA).

4. Remain calm. Don’t be ruffled by other peoples interview, no two interviews are exactly the same. I personally tried my hardest not to focus on other people’s interview although for the most part it’s difficult not to hear what’s going on.

Wish you the best. Cheers.

nice one thanks for sharing ur experience

feelgoodstuffs:
I wonder why people are killing themselves to go to Turkey , some are hiding under “student” a country I stayed for 5 months and I regret, nothing dey for Turkey, there are many African countries better, your number one problem is the language barrier, go and see how our people are working as slaves. This is to tell you how hard Nigerian economy is. Everybody just want to japa. I can’t advice anyone to go there with the intention to “hustle” except you be Yahoo!

so we are many that have cancelled and i Pick Abuja for easy access oo
