esdajo:
We would have loved to apply but the available dates on VFS appointment booking platform are not going to work with our schedule. I even wrote the embassy to see if they could prevail on VFS to provide us an earlier date to reapply but they did not reply the emails and courier sent to them in this regard. Moving forward, from my research online, if we don't appeal, chances are that we would keep getting rejection each time we apply in the future either for a French visa or the visa of any other Member State of the Schengen Agreement. The wife of a friend was refused a German student visa 2 years ago and recently she was also refused a Polish student visa, this is how it works for the most part from my observation. The appeal is just to clear the air and also to minimise the possibility of future refusals from any Schengen Member State since they would have it on file and any embassy considering our future applications would at least see that we appealed.

VanuatuWycombe:


Was your application for study, work, reunion, visiting etc?

You can go and withdraw it or they would be forced to cancel (reject) it. Just ask them to know what you can do next to proceed with the application once there’s no more lockdown.

All the best bro.

Good morning all, just to show my appreciation and return all glory to God.

I applied for a France visa and did my biometric on the 1st of Dec and on the 7th of Dec my passport was sent to me.

I submitted my three months payslips from my two jobs
My business profile (Just a personal business I render services to)
Medical insurance
flight reservation
Hotel reservation for 4 days
Staff ID cards
Employment letters from the 2 jobs and a letter of introduction my place of work wrote.
Cover letter
3 months Statment of account of four banks, including $ and pounds a/c
photocopies of my UK visa stickers, the VSF guy removed the photocopies of my entries stamps, they said they only need the visa stickers and it is only countries like UK, USA, Canada they take, but countries like SA, Dubia, they remove the photocopies of the visa .

I was given a three months multiple visa.

Many thanks for the knowledge gotten in this forum, I appreciate you all. Thank you

my advice to people applying and future applicants make sure you book your appointment first before filling the form, the form is very easy to fill and no many questions like the UK .

The booking fees is 19,700 I paid and the visa fee is 37,700 I think, can't remember, but Is from 19,000 and 37,000, then the DHL is included in the fees. ( Just write the place you want it to be DHL to u and your phone number.

The VSF is very disorganized, just get an early appointment and go through the process, so that u get home on time. There is shortage of staff.

Anybody hat need assistance can chat me. All the best to all

Congratulations brother

I need some info from you pls
Although I have been to Germany and France before but it’s been a while.

I will like to know the balance on your four different accounts ?

I have booked an appointment for late December before the discovery of Omicron and this makes me feel reluctant to go for submission, what’s your advise please?

Congratulations sir. It appears as though they are only approving visa applications from frequent travelers lately. I haven’t seen newbies with virgin passports testifying here in a while. Congratulations once again sir!

Hello,
Please can someone advise me on the best way to arrange documents before submitting. Should all originals be in one pack and the copies in another or should the original be on top and copies under? Also how many copies should one make?

Lizzer:

Please I didn’t see appointment date for Lagos for tourism First timer , but appointment is available for Abuja Dec 06th please can someone help me bcs Abuja is far away

mialate:

Hello, i was refused in 2019. I wrote my appeal letter and used google translator to translate . It wasn't perfect but then they will understand it ..LOL.

After translating i sent to my friend in Paris as an email attachment , she printed and assisted me to mail to Nantes.

I did so because i wasnt expecting an overturn in the decision but for a better assessment in my next application.

I tried after some months and i was granted .

Thanks to @Beverlyhills for advising me to appeal the decision.








quote author=esdajo post=108220027]I already got the part where the appeal is to be in french. However, as for the second part, you can't completely rule out the efficacy of the appeal process. It might have played a role in you getting the visas subsequently after the initial refusal. My guess is that at least subsequent appeals would be treated on their merits and not against the backdrop of the previous refusal.

Kikistar:
Hello, please was it only the appeal letter you sent or alongside all the documents you used in applying initially? OR the appeal letter and additional documents (those not included in the initial application) to plead or support your points in the appeal letter?

Hello

Schengen countries have a set standard documents required so the vfs staff may decline to accept documents such as invoices and receipts but you need to add your company introduction letter attesting your leave. Meanwhile it’s better to have done your health insurance to avoid last minute rush and mistakes, I can recommend you a staff of mutual assurance who does it for me. She will send the soft copy to your mail and print it out, her number 0162003130. Aramide

esdajo:
Additional documents not submitted in the initial application like property ownership documents and some other documents as well that were not initially submitted at the application stage. The only document that was resubmitted was my corporate bank account statement to prove financial viability because there had been more positive inflows since the last time we applied.
