Schengen Visa refused: Indian citizen applying for France Help in reapplying
Did a UAE tourist visa through Atlys recently.
This one is supposed to be simple, and it is, but I’ve heard enough stories about random agents messing things up that I didn’t want to risk it.
Process itself is almost too simple:
upload passport → upload photo → pay → wait
I was actually a bit skeptical because it felt like I was missing something. Like… “this is it?”
The only hiccup I hit was with the photo. I uploaded one that I thought was fine, but it got rejected because the background was too dark. They pointed out exactly what was wrong though (background + slight shadow), so I got a new one clicked and reuploaded.
After that, no issues.
One thing I didn’t love , the tracking page. It just said “processing” for most of the time and gave zero detail. Then suddenly one day it just flipped to approved. Would’ve liked at least some intermediate steps.
Got the visa in about 3 days.
Overall: for UAE it’s less about complexity and more about avoiding unnecessary stress. This just made it feel clean and straightforward without dealing with random middlemen.
Onsite translator services in Hyd consulate
Hi everyone,
Recently I applied for B2 visa renewal for my parents via Dropbox. Visa was issued for my father but refused for my mother under 221G asking her to come for an in person interview at Hyderabad. Does anyone know if there are onsite translator services available given my mother is not fluent in English?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
