Travel / 12 Common Reasons Why Schengen Visa Applications Get Rejected by jakesNEWS: 1:55pm On Jun 29, 2017
What makes an Embassy or Consulate reject providing you a Schengen Visa? This is the question many people make anytime they are about to apply for such a visa. The fact is that whenever a Schengen visa or any visa gets rejected, there is something UNSATISFACTORY as regards of that visa application.
Many visa applicants get confused and unable to exactly understand the reason for their visa refusal. That is why the article will focus on presenting the common known reasons for such refusal.
A visa application might be considered unsuccessful if the consular officer fails to get from the candidate all the needed information about him/her. Lacking to possess such information, the consular officer will be incapable to decide if the candidate qualifies to be given a visa. On the other hand, sometimes the consular might get information from the applicant that is unacceptable or beyond the fixed procedures. Sometimes the candidate is prone of illegitimate and/or dishonest activities. In all of the aforementioned cases the officer is led to DENY offering a visa to the applicant.
LEARN which are the Most Common Reasons For Failed Schengen Visa Applications, in order to avoid being amongst those who perform them:

1. Past or Current Criminal Actions
The past and current circumstances and actions of the applicant matter a lot in the decision of the consular officer in issuing a Schengen visa. In such cases, the refusal might occur because the applicant is considered a threat to the public policy, internal security or public wealth of Schengen Area (i.e. terrorism, drug abuse, child abuse, addiction, other serious crimes).

2. False Travel Document
There is a common destiny for all the individuals (applicants) who attempt to present false travel documents to the embassy or consulate, trying to misrepresent their identity, using fake identity – and that is an absolute visa denial and other accompanying unfavorable consequences.

3. Insufficient Explanation For The Purpose And Circumstances Of The Planned Stay
Another motive to lead the consular office to deny your Schengen Visa is failing to have the needed justification for your purpose and conditions of the planned travel and stay. Such are the cases of:
• Failing to present an employment and professional qualification that matches with the presented financial situation
• Incapacity to provide documents that support the purpose of travel and stay in the Schengen Area
• Missing to apply for a visa period in conformity with the presented travel itinerary and holiday right or revenue situation
• The inability to offer unchanging declarations about the purpose of travel and stay

4. Damaged Passport
A reason for a visa refusal could be presenting a passport that is not kept in a good condition. Such case can be when passport pages are detaching or missing, when the cover of the passport is damaged and so on.

5. Passport Invalidity
Alternative motive to lead the consular officer denying your visa application is presenting a passport that is not acceptable for the Embassy or Consulate. Such cases are classified the following:
• Presenting a passport that does not have a valid period less than three (3) remaining months after the return from the visit in the Schengen Area
• Presenting a passport that does not possess two different blank visa pages
• Presenting a Travel Document Booklet instead of a valid passport
• Presenting a valid passport that is older than ten (10) years

6. Lack To Proof The Travel Itinerary
An additional reason for Schengen Visa application fail, is lacking to present the proper plan of your travel within the Schengen Area. Such cases include:
• Applying at the wrong Embassy of the Schengen Area (not being able to determine the main destination of your visit in the Schegen Area)
• Not being able to prove having a booked accommodation for each destination and each night to spend in the Schengen Area
• Not being able to provide booked flight ticket for each applicant (when a group of travelers)
• Not being able to provide travel tickets for each destination to be toured in the Schengen Area.

7. Invalid Letter of Reference
Further evidenced reason for a failed Schengen Visa application is providing a formal letter of reference that is not authenticated by the author. Such cases involve:
• Lacking to offer a formal letter that has an original letterhead with the address and contact details of the company or the author issuing it
• Lacking to present a formal letter issued not later than three (3) last months from the application date
• Missing to have the stamp and signature of the author on the formal letter
• Other

8. Insufficient Means Of Subsistence
One of the reasons the embassy or consulate of the Schengen country might refuse to give you a visa, is lacking or insufficient proof of means of existence for the duration of stay in Schengen Area, nor for the return to home country. Such cases might involve:
• Failing to offer financial statements not older than one (1) month from the application date
• Lacking to enjoy a current account statement (presenting credit card statements in its place)
• Missing to possess enough funds in financial statements presented
• Presenting a traveler’s cheque that does not have the candidate’s name

9. Unacceptable Birth Or Marriage Certificate
Additional cause for a failed Schengen Visa application is not being able to offer birth or marriage certificates that are accepted (not authenticated) by the embassy or consulate. Such cases include:
• Failing to offer a certificate endorsed by official authorities, i.e. Ministry Interior
• Failing to offer a certificate in non English language translated by the authorized translator
• Lacking to prove a civil certificate (offering a religious document instead)
• Not being able to offer a certificate showing both parents of the child
• Not being able to offer certificate that matches with the names of the parties presented on the submitted passports
• Not being able to offer a document of the legal sole custody order for the child (if a single parent)
• Not being able to offer the legal adoption documents for the adoptive child (for EU Spouse application)

10. Invalid Travel Insurance
The other reason that might lead to a Schengen Visa application fail, is the inability to present the appropriate travel insurance coverage for the duration of stay in the Schengen Area. Such cases might involve:
• Failing to provide a travel insurance cover in the anticipated amount
• Lacking to provide a travel insurance that does not cover the return of the candidate in home country
• The inability to provide a travel insurance whose policy is valid all over the Schengen Area
• The incapacity to show a travel insurance that covers the entire days of the trip in the Schengen Area

11. Lacking to present a Proof of Accommodation
An additional factor that might lead for your visa to be refused is not being able to properly demonstrate you have a place to stay during your travel abroad. Such cases include:
• Not being able to present an evidence of a hotel reservation,
• Lacking to provide the invitation from the host (proof of sponsorship),
• Failing to present an evidence of a pre-paid tour.

12. Unfavorable Schengen Visa Situation
What else could destroy one’s Schengen Visa application is earlier history with the Schengen Visa. Such cases include:
• Failing to previously respect Schengen Visa limitations (i.e. Overstay in the Schengen Area, failing to follow the presented travel itinerary – by skipping to stay mostly in the main country of destination in the Schengen Area, and so on).
• Holding a passport with an active Schengen
Education / Finding The Right Nursing School For You by jakesNEWS: 1:08pm On Jun 23, 2017
Once you have decided that nursing is the career for you, it is time to choose the nursing school that fits your needs the best. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nursing positions are expected to grow by 19 percent over the next decade, with an increase of more than 525,000 jobs. Because of the rapid growth expected in the industry, choosing a nursing career not only benefits others, but allows you the opportunity for advancement in a job designed to help others who are in need. However, in order to obtain a nursing position, you must first choose the nursing school that is right for you. These tips and suggestions will help you identify the school that provides you with the education you need so that you can obtain a position in nursing that provides you with the satisfaction of helping others.

Know Where You Want Your Career to Go
Some schools only offer a registered nurse diploma while other courses of study could result in a Master of Science in Nursing. If you already have a degree in another subject, choose a school that will recognize that degree so that your course load is reduced somewhat. To obtain an entry-level position in nursing, you must obtain at least a diploma from an approved nursing program, which normally take two years to complete. If your goal is to obtain an administrative nursing position, you may need to complete either a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), so knowing your career goals is critical to choosing the right nursing school.

Close to Home or Away to School
If you are young, with no family obligations, going away to nursing school may not be that difficult. However, if you have work, family or social obligations that must be met while you attend school, you may want to choose a nursing school close to home. Check class schedules for required courses to be sure you can work them into your schedule. Some nursing courses may be offered online, allowing you some flexibility. Before choosing a school, see if any of the classes are offered online or have flexible hours that work better for your schedule. All nursing schools require clinical rotations, so keep that in mind when selecting the location for your school. In addition, each state has specific licensing requirements so you may want to review those in order to be sure the school will provide you with the right nursing education for the license requirements in the state where you plan to practice. For instance, if you attend a school in Texas, but you plan to practice in Tennessee, you may want to be sure that the courses you take will meet the requirements of Tennessee before you register at the Texas school.

Accreditation is Critical
One very important factor to consider when choosing a nursing school is whether the school is accredited. For nursing position, schools should be accredited by the National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission (NLNAC) or the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Some schools are accredited by both agencies. Accreditation means that the schools policies, curriculum, financial standing and other factors have been reviewed by an accrediting agency and meet the criteria set by those organizations. Attending a non-credited school could make it difficult for you to find a nursing position or to advance your nursing education.

Cost of Education
Another important factor when choosing a nursing school is the cost to attend. Most nursing schools use a credit hour tuition rate which can be rather significant, depending on the school you choose. However, the accredited nursing schools also offer financial aid in the form of grants, scholarships and loans that can help you. Keep in mind that although grants and scholarships do not have to be repaid, student loans will have to be paid back after graduation. You can also ask about credit for experience if you have already worked in the healthcare profession. Some employers offer tuition reimbursement, so if you are currently working in the healthcare industry, talk to your employer about the possibility of tuition assistance in order to further your career. You should also ask the nursing school if any tuition will be refunded should you be required to withdraw from the program.

Admission Tests
Some nursing schools require applicants to take an admission test before they can enroll. The most common admission test is administered by the National League of Nursing (NLN), but schools may require other tests as well. The admissions office of the school can provide you with information on the admissions tests and may even be able to provide you with study guides to help you prepare.

Clinical Rotations
All nursing schools require a clinical rotation in order for a student to graduate. Clinical rotations are an important part of any nursing education as it provides hands-on experience in the nursing field. However, some schools offer rotations a specific facilities and if the facility they use is not in the field you wish to work in, you may want to consider a different school or ask whether you can do your rotation at another location.

NCLEX Examination
Once you have completed your nursing education, you will be required to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) in the state where you plan to obtain your nursing license. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing can provide information on the NCLEX examination for your state as well as additional licensure requirements necessary in that state to become a registered nurse. In addition, nurses may become certified in specific areas, such as pediatrics, gerontology and others.
If you have always wanted a career where you could help others, especially when they are injured, sick or suffering emotional difficulties, a nursing career may be the perfect job for you. By using these tips and suggestions, you should be able to choose the nursing school that is right for you and will help you not only achieve the professional goals you set, but provide you with the best nursing education available.

The most important document to provide for admission in Master’s Degree in Germany is a suitable Bachelor’s Degree. It does not have to be a German Bachelor’s Degree, but it still needs to be recognized by German universities.
How to get your diploma recognized in Germany?
Universities may also investigate your qualifications into more detail to ensure their relevance. It may involve the checking of the content of your undergraduate course and confirming you have earned a sufficient number of credits in relevant areas.
You also need to provide a high-school graduate certificate, known as Abitur in Germany, in case you may be required to present it.
In case your certificate or diploma is not recognized, you should get it verified for comparison to a German diploma in order to gain access to higher education in Germany. Depending on the country you obtained your Bachelor’s diploma, you will find out if it is acceptable in Germany or not. The German International Office (Akademisches Auslandsamt) is responsible to determine if your diploma is recognized /qualified or not!
Further examinations are required for non-recognized certificates. You must take the PROPAEDEUTIC COURSE. This preparation gets you equipped with German universities’ requirements (like: language and study requirements and completing additional courses to get qualified) before the Master’s courses begin.
Courses are available for:
• Foreign students already admitted for study courses in Germany
• Foreign students that have not yet been admitted, but meet the requirements
• Foreign students not meeting requirements yet
Exceptions are valid for talented candidates who apply for admission in artistic fields/subjects. You can get admitted by only passing a few required tests or providing samples of your work, therefore check out on this regard beforehand!
The fee for the issuing of the assessment document is 200€.
Other admission requirements
Additional entry requirements may include:
• Certificate and transcript of your undergraduate studies.
• Details of your secondary education –some very competitive application processes may wish to know further details of an international’s education history.
• Interviewing – German universities may discuss your application and your experience in an arranged interview with you. The interview may be formal, especially in highly-competitive universities with limited places, or it can also be done over conferencing platforms, like Skype to make it easier on international students.
• Additional entry tests –this more often occurs in competitive universities, where you may be asked to complete an additional entry exam or take a standardized postgraduate admission test as part of your application. This can also be required in law, medicine, and other similar regulated professions in order to ensure the compatibility of your previous trainings. Also, business schools and MBA programs may require a particular score from recognized tests, like GMAT or GRE.
