I have had a visa refusal for reasons 4 and 5, and I would like to know if it will be possible for me to reapply. NB: I had gone through the Campus France procedure (public school) for 7 schools, one had accepted me but it was in Martinique, University of the Antilles in the second year of Economics and Management. After some advice and research, I realised that overseas was not a good option, so I decided to enrol in a private school (INT-EDUCATION) in the first year of a BTS in Accounting and Management. In my country, I am awaiting my thesis defence for the validation of my Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Management.
Here is the composition of my file:
Educational section
Everything that goes with it (with the internship completion certificate, prior agreement, enrolment certificate mentioning the deposit amount: €1000/€4880), explanatory letter of level regression, the transcripts were returned to me by the lady.
Administrative section
Passport, photocopy of the first 4 pages of the passport, two photo cards, copy of birth certificate, visa application form, receipt and 33,000 CFA francs
Accommodation section
Hosted for free by a relative (48.08 m²) Rental contract Proof of residence for the last three months Residence permit expires on 7 March 2024 Distance school-home: 49min by public transport
Financial section
AVI 3,000,000 CFA = €4,573 Financial guarantor: my brother (salary around €2500) Employment contract (3-year fixed-term contract) Last 3 payslips Last 3 bank statements Residence permit expires on 31 January 2024 Flight ticket reservation
Hello @Gloire-Alex, first of all, sorry for the refusal. Tell me regarding reason 4, which qualifications have you already presented? Reason 4 is a complicated one, we need to be sincere. You need to review the qualifications you have presented and the fact of moving from a higher level to a much lower one.
Regarding reason 5: where does your guarantor, who is your father, reside? Are the €2500 net or gross? Have you included his bank statements for the last three months? Also, you should know that he might earn €2500 net per month and also spend a lot, which means he might not be able to support you. If the consulate requests the last three months of bank statements, it is to study the spending trend he has each month. He might earn a million euros a month, but if he spends almost as much, he might not have the capacity to support you. You should also include his latest tax notice. I await your responses to continue analysing.
@Gloire-Alex You’re not very precise in your details, so it’s difficult to look into your case. When you post a topic, always remember that no one here is paid to help you and provide as many details as possible to encourage someone to share their thoughts.
Having said that, I asked you if the salary is net or gross; when you look at his last three bank statements, do you think at the end of each month he can meet your needs according to the AVI amount? We need to see how to calculate the amount he can allocate to you. I think he must earn more than three times the amount he intends to allocate to you, and it’s not just that, we also need to look at his monthly expenses.
For reason 4, if you gave the baccalaureate as a diploma, what were you doing in the other years? How did you justify that?
Mr. Greg, first of all, I would like to thank you for the help you are giving me and also apologise for not being very precise on the subject
Indeed, the salary I mentioned is his net salary. He did not specify the exact amount he could pay me at the end of each month, he just said he would take care of everything (tuition, food, health, etc.) He lives in a different city from his wife, he has no children, and if we consider it, his salary is three times higher than the maximum amount requested (€615).
Regarding the proof of my years of study, I had presented the transcripts for the 5 semesters (L1 to L3) plus the internship completion certificate (a 3-month internship) unfortunately the ladies working at the consulate returned the transcripts to me (which were already in my Pastel account).
Often, the people who receive applicants at the consulate mislead visa candidates. It should have been insisted that she take it since she is not the one who will examine your file afterwards, and the examiner will not know what happened. Another thing, it was a mistake not to mention the amount of financial support; it is from the amount stated on the financial support certificate that the consulate makes its calculations in relation to the guarantor’s salary. You need to resubmit by adding the necessary documents and specify the amount of financial support.
