Another question please. I understand that they withheld my bank statement, Hotel reservation, Flight reservation.and gave me all other documents back. If I appeal do I need to provide new ones or i should believe they already have them. Secondly, these are their reason for my refusal Justification for the purpose of in tended stay was not provided 2: The information submitted for the justification of the intended stay was not reliable 3; your intention to leave the territory of the member state could not be ascertained So please what new can I go with in my appeal? As regards these reasons . |
