nicerichard05: Whatt a nice trend. Please I have a qstn to ask so qstns here. 1: how can someone apply for an American visa, without him or her having anybody over there, what are the steps to take? 2: If you have a 2yrs Visa to US, can u still work with it or you have to also process you work permit? Thanks a lot.

As a visa agent you should answer that question. We will not be doing your job for you while you get paid.

Good Morning Good People
I recently applied for Schengen tourist visa for my wife and I through France and we were both denied. The reason was ' Your intention to leave member state before visa expiry could not be ascertained'. I was quite surprised because we submitted all necessary documents. Including introduction letters from our work places and clearly stating the dates of our leave and when we are resuming back at work.
However, i believe the decision for refusal was based on a mistake i made on the hotel bookings. I have written an appeal to this regard, see excerpt below:
However, I believe the decision for Visa refusal must have been based on discrepancies between departure dates on flight reservations and hotel bookings. Departure date from France on flight reservation is 18th of August 2014 while departure date from Hotel reservation is 20th of August 2014. This was a honest mistake on my part as initial travel date was between 10th-20th of August 2014 and this was the time hotel reservations were made. However, flights for these dates were quite expensive and we had to change travel dates to 10th-18th August 2014 at a better price. After flight reservations were confirmed, I forgot to change departure dates on hotel reservation and proceeded to submit Visa applications to the France Consulate-General through the VFS Visa application center.

I believe the French embassy could have easily contacted the applicant in a situation where there is a minor clarification to made on an application rather than blatantly refusing.

Also, while returning our passports, a wrong applicant name (a different surname entirely) was written on the visa refusal form that was returned to me, while the one returned to my wife had her name written correctly.
I have sent an email to the French consulate on Friday but i haven't gotten a response yet. I hope they respond by tomorrow. Depending on their response tomorrow, I will decide whether to continue with the appeal process or send a fresh application.

My major headache is that i have paid for my flight and its non-refundable so i have left the ticket open for now.

Guys, your advice will be deeply appreciated.

Did you communicate in English or French language?
The French people are proud of their native toungue.
If you are writing in English to plead your case it is not surprising that you get no reply or negative outcome.

My email correspondence to them has been in English. But if i'm sending a formal appeal to France, i will write it in French.
Thanks for your quick response.

hello vicjustice,
please, I need your advice...
I'm an ND2 (final year) student in Auchi Polytecthnic, Edo state.
My dad wants to sponsor my trip to the US in next year February for tourist purposes and I'll be spending two weeks there. We do not have anyone in US so I will be booking a hotel. Now, I will be commencing my one year Industrial Training (IT) programme in Ondo state Ministry of Works come next year January. Please, what are my chances of getting the tourist visa even if I present a letter from the ministry?

The reason that you gave here is satisfying enough to convince the immigration officers, just explain same to them with your onward flight ticket evidence and you should be fine.

The two documents that she gave you would be enough if you are lodging in a hotel, but if you intend to stay with him in his residence, that is whe you need these other stuff

He can't accommodate you as he doesn't have enough rooms in his apartment therefore, it is irrelevant to talk about tenancy agreement.

@vicjustice kudos to you sir... I need your help with a uk tourist visa application. My inlaw invited me over for his graduation ceremony coming up early october. I'm self employed, married, I'm using my personal savings account for my application and I already stated on my application that I and my wife are expecting out first child and that I intend to spend a week there in the u.k and also shop for a few baby stuffs. I have a company I registered last year november... can I write a cover letter for myself using my company letter head? Do I need to include a proof that I'm expecting a child soon? Do I need anything else from my wife apart from her letter of consent? Someone advised I put her statement of account becausr she works in a bank but she's not my sponsor.... pls help

Of what relevance is your wife's statement of account to this application if she is neither traveling with you nor is she sponsoring the trip or part of it?
What baby stuff are you going to be shopping for in the UK that you can't get in Nigeria?
Judging from the unsatisfying reasons that you want to travel, it is more than likely that your application would result in a refusal as you don't seem to have a satisfying reason to want to go to spend a whole lot of money on an intercontinental trip to the Uk, why not plan a proper visiting or tourism purpose?
Re: A Comprehensive List Of The Documents Required For Visas by omoba88: 8:50pm On Aug 27, 2014
What document do I need if my inlaw is sending the invitation with my seat confirmation for the ceremony. I intend staying for a week. I registered my company november and I have shipping docs in the name of my company because I'm into auto business. Could you please advise on what to do?

I have all the necessary documents required. Of all my family members(immediate family), i am the only one to have gone to the UK once. all others have gone a minimum of 2 times. My dad goes every 6 months, my mum every year. They have never been denied any visa application. But i am about to aPply for VISA and i do not have an introduction letter as my HOD refused to grant me one due to unknown circumstances. this are the list of documents i have with me supporting my education in school!
1) JAMB admisssion letter stating the duration of course 2010-2015
2) school receipt showing recent school fees payments for this session
3) registration fees for the semester
4) course registration form
5) faculty clearance
6) departmental clearance
7) a letter of introduction written by my HOD to the students affairs division dated 25th august 2014 for the replacement of my lost identity card
cool police report showing the loss of my identity card
i am a 400 level student of the university of ibadan and i intend to visit the UK next month before the start of my 6 months internship at ericcson of which i av been offered an internship position which is due to start by october.
i hope all these documents suffices for my application and more than make up for not producing an introduction letter from school
please kindly get back at me asap as i want to apply before this week runs out. Vicjustice
