Good afternoon, please can UK know if someone have been previously denied a Schengen visa ?

In my application I wrote no , it's now I noticed and it's already late ,

Honesty and disclosure is one of the things that will allow the case worker to think you're a genuine visitor.

Of course they do share information.

Pray that they don't probe that part

abubakar123olat:


I have an interview with them soon can I just disclose it for them to know I made a mistake cause I had one visa refusal with Czech republic

davodyguy:


Interview as how? were you invited?

davodyguy:


You didn't attach your own personal bank statement aside from pay slip?

abubakar123olat:


Yes , can I just tell them during the interview about the mistake ?

davodyguy:

I still don't understand

Are you talking about going to VAC or the embassy?

Who told you to come for interview?

naivasha:
Congratulations! 'Long and costly' is the perfect description.

Please did anyone have any idea if Schengen Zone shares information with the UK ?

davodyguy:

Wasn't really long considering the timeline, but costly, considering amount paid

@gerrald02 Congratulations.
Just a little correction as someone a few months ago made an error due to information from this thread and applied for the wrong visa type. They lost over 3k pounds in that sitting. They were waiting for the Home office decision and it didn’t come and when it was chased up, home office made them aware and refused the application as the onus is on one to apply for the right visa type.
The visa type you were approved is a UK Dependent visa and not a UK spousal visa as the spousal visa is only for partners of persons with settled status that is British citizens and those with ILR. It is a more tedious and lengthy process requiring lot more evidence and financial criteria to be met. Also way more expensive.

Congratulations once again.

Just wanted to share that I got my visa like 16 working days after application. Received 2 NSF emails during this period.

Adult single female with no dependents

My application was rushed as I only decided to apply on a whim, one week before I made the application.

Back story, 2 prior uk visa, 3 visits, last visit exactly 10 years ago

Lived in 3 EU countries, Had a valid resident permit before I moved back home. I’ve traveled to multiple other countries, no valid visa at the time of application

Work remotely and only used un stamped fintech banks that I downloaded online - Opay, Wise, and grey.co. Opay had 300k or so, grey had $800 and wise had roughly $7k+

Had a couple of deposits from drivewealth (my stock broker) that I forgot to explain, only remembered after the application that I didn’t include the statement for my stocks account

Run a family business (inherited) that I mentioned but at the point of uploading my documents it was too late to go to the family house to the scan documents. However it has a physical address so maybe that helped

Didn’t include visa and stamp photocopies from my previous passports because I thought they were going to take my old passports. Had to pay for assisted service at the center for them to scan and include some

Mistakenly added the wrong monthly expenses in the form. Wrote that I spend 300£ monthly, at the point of printing my statement I realized that I spend closer to $500 or £400

Budget of £1900 for a 4 week trip which is about 1 month disposable income.
Used screenshot of a $700 Airbnb as accommodation

No letter from employer

When I received the NSF emails, I was already expecting a refusal but alas.

Jolene474:
I submitted my application during the week and I received this email some hours ago.


Thank you for your visa/entry clearance application which has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days and settlement applications within 60 working days (unless you have opted for a Priority Visa service).

We are unable to resolve your application within these customer service targets, due to operational restrictions. Please be assured that we will continue to progress your application to enable a decision to be made as soon as possible.

Please do not attend the application centre until you have been contacted by the VAC.

Kind regards
Croydon DMC
