Following a visa refusal for France, I have decided to appeal to clarify and justify where they lack confidence in my application. But the problem is that I don’t know which procedure I should follow. Should I do as I did during my first submission and include the recent documents that justify the merits of my application, or is there another procedure dedicated to visa appeals? Also, regarding the appeal deadline, I didn’t quite understand. Do I have to wait for 30 days to pass before making my appeal, or can I do it now? And I would also like you to clarify in detail about reason 10 (What causes this reason?).
Regarding the appeal period, you can file your appeal as soon as you have received the notification of refusal. It is not necessary to wait 30 days. However, for a contentious appeal, you must adhere to the deadline set by the embassy to file your appeal, otherwise it will be inadmissible.
In any case, I advise you to make a gracious appeal quickly.
Regarding the appeal, I plan to submit a new application and improve where the file was unclear. For example, the accommodation (I had used a provisional accommodation certificate provided by the university and now I plan to make a rental contract and also make an AVI of €615)
-Here is the text of the reason: The information provided to justify the purpose and conditions of the intended stay is incomplete and/or unreliable.
Normally in Turkey, we don’t really number the reason, we just write a letter indicating the reason. After showing the refusal letter to a friend, he told me it was reason 10. It’s only today that I researched and found out it’s called reason 5. Sorry.
I am applying in Turkey (Ankara) and I want to go to Lorient.
My guarantor wanted to make an AVİ for me and their bank (CIC bank, private) told them that they could do it but as a regular transfer, and I didn’t understand what a regular transfer is?

A « standard transfer » (or « bank transfer ») is a standard method for transferring money from one bank account to another. Unlike an AVI (Attestation de Virement Irrévocable), which is a guarantee that the funds will be transferred on a fixed future date, a standard transfer is simply an ordinary banking operation without any guarantee or future irrevocability aspect. In other words, it’s a standard sponsorship.
This means that the bank does not provide a strict guarantee or formal commitment that the transfers will be made.
I would like to make an AVİ but I am lost on which organisation to entrust my money to. However, I saw online a platform that supports students on this subject. It is https://www.visaetudefrance.com, is there anyone here who has already used it or who can reassure me of the existence of this organisation?
I can confirm that they are indeed reliable, I went through my entire process with them in 2022 and subsequently obtained my visa. As for your AVI, don’t worry, I went through them as well. Good luck with the rest of your process.
I personally know Danielle, the founder of Visa Étude France. So yes, it is indeed an organisation that exists, registered with the Trade and Companies Register of Nanterre under the number 898 291 273.
As I recently opened a topic here about reapplying for a visa after receiving reason 5. Currently, I am about to make an AVI with Cheque Wabo Sas. However, I am encountering some issues regarding the deposit of the guarantee because my aunt, who is in France, wanted to do it since yesterday but her two banks told her that she cannot deposit more than 1500 euros in her bank to finally make the transfer as she does not have the amount in her bank, she only had 1000€, which led her to make an initial deposit of this amount in question. And we decided to make the remaining deposit through several people (3 people including my aunt as well). So I would like to know if making the deposit through several people would be an issue with the embassy?
NB: My money comes partly in cash (4000€) from my biological parents who are in Africa and partly (3748) from my aunt in question.
To the best of our knowledge, the transfer of a sum of money by several people for your irrevocable transfer certificate should not pose a problem at the embassy. The important thing is that the total amount deposited is sufficient to cover the living expenses for the academic year in France.
