Oh! Amazing, that's so kind of you. Thank you so so much.
How to send it personally ? I don't see where to send private messages here.

Mind dropping you email address?

Marcgrace:
Congratulations! Please could you note the key points you included in your cover letter?
Thank you.

Thank you.
My cover letter is quite long.
I can send to you personally if you don’t mind

thelma76:
Mega congratulations!! Super happy for you!

Thanks Thelma
I’ve been looking for a way to tag you. You were so helpful.
I appreciate you 💯

Is there any lady traveling to France between April 12 and 26.
Let’s link up please 🙏🏻 I need a travel buddy

pufframmy:
wow happy for you congratulation

Thank you.

Milito:
Good, I like you never giving up spirit.

Asides using same documents, is there anything you did differently?

Thank you. I seriously worded my cover letter 😁😁, then added evidence of pension. That’s all

Queenyetun:
Good evening all. I just got a refusal today with reason “There are reasonable doubts as to your intention to leave the territory before the visa expires”
Do you advise I appeal?

Good evening all. I reapplied for Schengen visa through France after a rejection from them.. as advised by the majority.
The visa was issued 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 Rejection in January, they approved in March with same documents
Thanks all

Hello,
Has anyone recently applied for a visa using this TLS. I don’t know why they changed it from VSF. This is my 4th visa application and it usually comes out in 3-4 days. It’s been over a week and nothing yet. I’m tracking it and it’s saying processing. I don’t get. Did anyone else’s application take this long?

Recent applications that I know about were processed in 3 days.

Good afternoon..
Please advise.
I am re - applying to France after a denial last month.
Should I submit my previous refusal letter or I should just ignore it?

Good morning Thelma. I really need to connect with you so you can put me through please.

thelma76:
No I didn’t and I don’t think it’s necessary. I’ve never submitted more than a one-pager cover letter summarizing my application and profile and hotel/flight bookings.

Also, a colleague of mine applied last week Tuesday, same simple application and she got the visa yesterday… multiple entry 10days.

I think the simpler and more detailed it is, the better

Congratulations Thelma
Did you reserve tours for the purpose of the visa application?

thelma76:
I think UK is even worse lol but Thank you, I got it. They granted a 30day Visa valid for two months but single entry. I can’t complain as it’s better than a rejection. Additionally, the end date is in the last month I can travel with my passport since it expires 6months after…so that could have influenced the validity. The lady ahead of me got a rejection and she mentioned she had reapplied after the first rejection. Reason was something around the justification for the trip or so. She claimed to have submitted a “healthy balance/statement”. It is well. I knew the outcome before she mentioned it because when she opened her envelope, there was an A4 paper in it.

Note: this is my third Schengen visa but I only used one previously as the second one, I had a change in travel plans. I forgot to put the bookings for the Spain leg of the trip (I mentioned I’d be visiting two countries but forgot my hotel booking for Spain although the flight tickets showed the correct plans). Also, I’m single and my closing balance was exactly 2.9m and not more. It could be true that they’re really not granting a lot of visas to first time Schengen region Travellers because there was nothing soooo special about my profile….a mon avis.

nmamatilda:
Please I am also asking regarding the appeal. Do we send to Nantes or Lagos. What are we attaching to the appeal letter ( passport)?

Hi Matilda
Seems we are on the same boat.
Can you text your number to my mail?

CowbellY:
Nah. Its just someone who couldn't be bothered to assess her application that denied her. Probably they met their quota already. An appeal is good to get it off her record.

Thank you. Comments here has been so encouraging.
Can someone please give me a step by step procedure on how to get my appeal to Nantes?
Willl I send or submit the appeal to their embassy in Lagos or I will mail directly to Nantes?

Zazozhe2022:
Probably how the money was lodged in. Because honestly you qualify

The bulk of the money has been sitting there since forever.

I hope my appeal is considered tho

thelma76:
Wow this is scaring me o, I wasn’t worried before and didn’t give my application much thought…I even applied with half of this balance LOL. Anyway, now I guess I’ll just have to wait and see how it plays out. Both my previous Schengen visas were granted with less than 2.5m balance. The first was even 900k as balance but I can attribute that to the fact that it was a business funded trip, the second I applied for was just last July and it was ~2.1m.
Really scary because you appear to have a good traveller profile from the listed documents submitted

See ehn, I was confident I was going to get the visa. I had less than this balance when I got a Uk visa.. don’t know why France is moving mad
I pray you get yours.

Sha222:
Good evening everyone, please I need help ..I wrote an appeal letter and summited to France embassy after my visa was refused..

It’s over 2 weeks no response and I don’t even know how to track it..

Please is there any means of checking to know there decision or is there something like a dashboard

Please I’ll appreciate if I can get a response

Thanks

Good evening. I hope you have gotten a response from them.
Please kindly put me through on the procedure.
Am I sending via courier to Nantes or I’ll take it to their embassy in Lagos?

mercy87:
How dis it go? Were you able to track it? Any response?

hunee:
Appeals are sent via courier to Nantes, France.
That is the commission for visa refusals.
Google it out or check your refusal note.
It is there.

Okay. Thanks I appreciate

NotGej:
Appeal to the embassy first with additional documents and explanations. Quoting the FRA No.

Kindly avail me the embassy address when I am to present the appeal letter and their contact address if applicable. Thanks

NotGej:

Thanks. Was also thinking of it.. Can you or anyone help with a format for letter of appeal
And what additional documents can I add please?

davodyguy:
That's what we're analyzing.

1. Main reason is that you'll likely Japa by their beliefs

So what are the things you need to do for them not to think you'll Japa?

Strong home ties, not bank balance this time around, cos most people that Japa were able to raise ₦10plus millions as well.

Strong job
Strong balance
Getting married
Landed property
Trying another country that can overlook

Thanks for your help.
I appreciate

davodyguy:
Also, are you married with kids?
Reason here is that they think you want to Japa.

Telling you cos of reapplication

I’m single.. I feel that is the reason for refusal
What do you advise I do in my next application to convince them that I’m coming back?

davodyguy:
With what you sent, I think it's lack of landed property that may have caused the rejection/denial

I added my landed property.
I omitted that in the list I mentioned earlier

NotGej:
Appealing takes time. Say one month. Reapply

Thank you.. Do you advise I reapply immediately?

davodyguy:
How was your submission packaged?

davodyguy:
How was your submission packaged?

I submitted the following;
Letter of introduction from my employer
Letter of employment
Pay slips
Statement of accounts with 6.9m closing balance
Travel insurance
Return Flight tickets reservation
Hotel reservation
Itinerary
Cover letter
Previous visas (Uk and some Asian countries)
Entry and exit stamps
Leave letter
Reference letter

I have never stayed beyond 8 days in any of my trips which is always within my visa validity… so I really wonder why they doubt that I will return

Good evening all. I just got a refusal today with reason “There are reasonable doubts as to your intention to leave the territory before the visa expires”
Do you advise I appeal?

Hi everyone..
I got a mail from TLS yesterday that my passport will be dispatched within 24hrs because I opted for delivery.
It’s more than 24hrs and there is no follow up mail or message from either TLS or DHL.
Does it happen like that please?
