OluwaT2026:
Good morning everyone,

I'm back to tell you I got my visa on my third attempt. To everyone who reached out and replied to my message.
I sincerely thank you all. I'm truly grateful.
God bless you

OluwaT2026:
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this. I really appreciate your advice and the detailed information you’ve shared.

It’s already been a very frustrating process. I honestly didn’t know that I could send a written request to the French Consulate in Lagos asking which document was considered unreliable. I’ll do that right away and hope they respond with some clarification.

For my marriage certificate, we got married at the Ikoyi Marriage Registry, and I later had the certificate legalized by the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja before my second application. During my first application, the consulate requested the original marriage certificate, and I submitted it as requested, but my application was still refused. After that first refusal, we had the marriage certificate legalized before reapplying, but the second application was still refused with the same reason.

At this point, we’re honestly just confused because we’ve tried to address every issue we could identify, yet we keep receiving the same generic refusal without knowing exactly what the problem is.

Thank you once again for your kindness and guidance. I truly appreciate it.

ijennyjane:
I think that’s why it is taking time except it’s the usual short stay visitor visa
