Hello, the EDUCAJURIS GROUP has designed this web page on questions and answers in the immigration field with the purpose of presenting common questions elaborated based on the experience of visa users. So keep reading below:

 

CAN SOMEONE WITH A 10 YEAR UK VISA QUALIFY FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE AND STAY?

A ten year UK visa simply means the holder can make short visits as they wish or need at any time over the next ten years. Doesn't mean/doesn't mean the person can stay for ten years. To qualify for permanent residence, such a person must still go through the full immigration process, just like everyone else. That ten-year nonimmigrant visa doesn't give you any advantage.

 

 

I WAS DENIED A VISA LAST YEAR BASED ON PERSONAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL STATUS AND FAMILY TIES IN CANADA AND MY HOME COUNTRY AND I HAVE A SPONSOR. WHAT CAN I DO IF I WANT TO APPLY AGAIN?

• There is no sponsorship for a Canadian visitor visa. This is what Canada wants to see before granting a visitor visa.

• No criminal record and no immigration violations.

• Valid reason for visiting Canada.

• Sufficient funds to cover your visit to Canada and return to your home country.

• Family and community ties (such as employment) in your home country to ensure you will leave Canada before the departure date on your visa.

• If it appears that you are coming to Canada looking for work or appear to be at risk of overstaying, Canada will not grant you a visitor visa.

 

I WAS DENIED A US VISA IN A COUNTER-INTERVIEW. WHEN I WAS ASKED "DO YOU KNOW ANYONE IN THE US?", I honestly answered "no". At the same time he returned my passport to me. What should I answer?

Well, you just need to be honest with the immigration officer. If your answer is really no, then say so. Lying only gets you into more trouble. Also, depending on your visa type and your intentions, it could also be the main reason the officer denied you a visa. I haven't applied for a visa since I was a US citizen, but I know a lot about it since I travel back and forth between Mexico quite often and I know exactly what happens at the border and what the officials are like.

 

I APPLIED FOR A STUDY VISA IN CANADA, I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE FINAL DECISION ON MY APPLICATION, BUT MY ACADEMIC PROGRAM IS TWO YEARS AND MY PASSPORT EXPIRES IN ONE YEAR. THAT I HAVE TO DO?

Since most countries will not renew a passport that is valid for more than 6 months, you can proceed with your current passport. Your visa to travel to Canada and the study permit that will be issued to you upon arrival will be limited to the validity of your passport. At some point, you will need to contact your Embassy in Canada to renew your passport, after which you will be able to extend your study permit. In most cases, nothing can be done about the visa, so if you leave Canada during the course of your studies, you will need to apply for a new visa. That process can be unexpectedly long and can really mess up your travel plans.

 

 

HOW DO LARGE COMPANIES HIRE EMPLOYEES ABROAD?

Large companies typically take one of two routes to recruit globally. Companies that know they will stay in a market for a long time and plan to hire at least 15 employees in that market typically establish an entity. Having an entity allows them to legally hire and pay employees in that country. But establishing an entity is expensive, time-consuming, and not the ideal choice for all employers.

 

Businesses that want to recruit or enter new markets quickly and compliantly without establishing an entity can partner with a global employer of record (EoR). Companies tend to have smaller talent pools (usually fewer than 15 team members) in countries where they partner with a global EoR.

 

In this situation, the global EoR partner becomes the legal employer of the company's talent, handling everything from compliant onboarding to benefits and payroll. They take care of the back-end details while the company maintains direct control over the daily activities of their talent.

 

The global EoR model means that international recruitment is no longer just an option for the largest companies. If you're a start-up or midsize company looking to attract talent from around the world, consider simply finding the right global EoR partner to scale your business.

 

WHY DOES USCIS APPROVE F1 VISAS WHEN ALMOST EVERYONE DISOBEYS THE INTENT TO RETURN TO THEIR HOME COUNTRY AFTER OBTAINING THEIR TITLES?

I think you are misunderstanding the concept of 'immigrant intent' here. In order for an F-1 student to become a legal immigrant, these are the necessary steps:

• Complete your degree (which takes 2-5 years)

• During your degree, gain internship experience using your CPT

• Find a job and work on your OPT

• Try the H-1B visa

• Once you are 2-3 years old with H1-B, ask your employer to apply for an immigrant visa

• Depending on your country of origin, you will receive your green card. For some countries, it can last up to 20 years or even longer.

 

This is legal immigration. This is not what USCIS is opposed to. This is not what consular officers are opposed to. They do not want to discourage immigration to the United States.

 

But consider this: if you show even the slightest hint of immigrant intent, what's to stop you from giving up your title and starting to work illegally? Why would you jump through all the hoops (steps 1-6 above), which require a lot of time, money, and effort on your part?

 

If you have a bad financial situation and insufficient ties to your home country, wouldn't it be easier for you to just start an unskilled job and continue forever? Let's say you have no family or work at home and your aunt runs a business in the United States. How convenient it would be for you to start working for her! With a student visa, you will successfully obtain a driver's license and insurance. You could easily drop your course and use your documents to earn some money.

 

This is what USCIS is opposed to. They are okay with students becoming immigrants one day; but through the correct channels. A person intending to pursue a master's degree in computer science could get a job at Google and then become a green card holder in the future. All they're stopping you from entering on a student visa, getting off the radar and taking part in some work, and not paying taxes.

 

USCIS wants to avoid the use of a nonimmigrant visa for immigration purposes. That's what consular officers are looking for.

 

WILL THE DENIAL OF A STUDENT VISA FOR CANADA AFFECT THE APPLICATION FOR A FUTURE TOURIST VISA? WHY DID YOU GET YOUR STUDY PERMIT?

If, because you did not have strong ties to your home country, you will not be allowed as a visitor either. Canada has a great aversion to people who are not qualified immigrants or who come to study for several years.

 

 

HOW LONG DOES IT CURRENTLY TAKE TO APPLY FOR A GREEN CARD FOR THE SPOUSE OF A US CITIZEN?

We filed in June 2022, was "accepted to work" on November 4, 2022 and has yet to contact us.

 

June ​​de 2022 that would be impossible since it's only today's 1st with only one day in June, so don't you mean June 2021? so wait at least 8 months, maybe even 12 months or longer for the USCIS to process the application if it is done in less than 8 months then all the better for you considering millions of other family members are doing the exact same thing that you. Some visas can be processed faster under what is called Premium processing, I am not sure if the relative petition qualifies for Premium processing, if so, you can choose this option, pay the additional fees and probably process your visa in less than a month. However, if it has already been posted, it would be too late to request faster processing.

 

 

IS THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING AFTER THE K1 VISA INTERVIEW GOOD OR BAD?

“Administrative processing after the k1 visa interview, is it good or bad?”

It is neither good nor bad. It simply means that something has come up in the global database that could be related to the visa approval or not, so the case is on hold until that information can be accessed and evaluated.

 

WHAT ARE THE MAIN BENEFITS YOU GET AFTER BECOMING A PERMANENT RESIDENT OF CANADA?

You have access to everything a Canadian citizen has access to with three exceptions, voting, joining the military, some jobs that require a high level of security clearance. A Canadian permanent resident has security. They do not have to leave Canada on a certain date. All foreign citizens in Canada must depart on a defined date, with the exception of permanent residents. A Canadian permanent resident has access to healthcare, national education fees, all federal and provincial programs and benefits. A Canadian permanent resident is on the path to citizenship. You cannot acquire Canadian citizenship without first becoming a permanent resident and then meeting the residency requirement to live in Canada for 1095 days in 5 years.

 

HELLO, TODAY I HAD AN INTERVIEW FOR NON-IMMIGRANT VISA, AFTER THE INTERVIEW HE TAKEN MY PASSPORT AND SAID HIS VISA WAS APPROVED AND WHEN I ARRIVED HOME AND CHECKED MY VISA STATUS SAYS (ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING) WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

It means more verification and time needed to complete the nonimmigrant visa issuance processing for you. The passport is kept for stamping or denying or issuing a visa.

 

 

 

I WAS ASKED DURING MY F1 VISA INTERVIEW WHY I SPECIALIZED IN BIOLOGY. WHAT SHOULD I SAY

“During my F1 visa interview, I was asked why I majored in biology. What should I say? You must say why you have chosen biology as a specialty.

 

 

IF I VISIT THE US NEXT YEAR ON A TOURIST VISA, WILL I HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OBTAINING A STUDENT VISA A FEW YEARS LATER?

No, in fact, it will help you with your student visa, in a positive way. Here's why:

You have demonstrated that you met the tourist visa requirement; you visited the US and returned to your home country. Therefore, when the time comes to obtain your F-1 student visa, the visa officer will consider your case favorably since you have already demonstrated that you are an honest person who adheres to the visa rules. From my own life: I visited the US 3 times as a child/teen before going to study on an F-1 visa as an adult.

 

 

I HAVE A 10 YEAR TOURIST VISA FOR THE UNITED STATES. IF I GET A STUDENT VISA NEXT YEAR, WILL MY 10-YEAR TOURIST VISA AUTOMATICALLY STOP VALID?

To study in the US, you must apply for an F-1 student visa, using the I-20 form that the US English school will provide you when they accept you as a student. You cannot study with your tourist visa. However, your tourist visa will not be canceled and you will still be able to use it again after completing your studies in the US.

 

 

WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE NEEDED FOR A US TOURIST VISA? MY CONCERN IS HOW TO CONVINCE THE EMBASSY OFFICIALS THAT I WILL RETURN TO MY OWN COUNTRY AND DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS TO SAY OR NOT TO SAY IN THE INTERVIEW? I AM FROM INDIA AND HE IS FROM THE UNITED STATES.

You're asking a question about a tourist visa, and suddenly the last sentence is "he's from the United States." Now, who is "he"? Where is “he” in the image? This way of communicating where you are not clear about what you want means a certain rejection in the interview for the US visa. NEVER be vague or hide anything. Be VERY PRECISE.

 

Documents are not required for a US tourist visa. They judge you on the basis of your interview. They want you to CLEARLY communicate the purpose of your visit and ACCURATELY answer any questions asked. Even the slightest hint that you are being vague or unclear means a rejection under section 214(b).

 

Under the law, the default outcome of every tourist visa application is a denial on the presumption that the applicant desires to immigrate to the US. The onus for overcoming the presumption rests with the applicant. But in real life, you won't have much on your hands except answering the questions you're asked. If the visa officer considers your application to be genuine and you do not intend to immigrate to the US, they will grant you a visa.

 

Remember, even a slight doubt would mean rejection. So don't contradict yourself at all. Have confidence. Have CLEAR and ACCURATE answers to the question. I absolutely do NOT like the way you have framed your question. If this is how you normally communicate, it will be very difficult for you to obtain a US visa.

 

Also keep in mind that until the covid restrictions are lifted, you will not get a visa for a non-essential reason.

 

 

DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL INTERVIEW FOR A US TOURIST VISA? I HAVE 2 NEGATIVES, BUT I NEVER WANTED TO IMMIGRATE TO THE UNITED STATES. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CONVINCE AN OFFICER TO BELIEVE ME.

If you really are a tourist (and not an immigrant in disguise), why are you so determined to go to the US? The world is a big place with many other countries that are much more interesting and possibly diverse and will definitely give you a pleasant tourist experience such as Great Britain, European Union countries, Mexico, Brazil. Why waste your time/money in a country that doesn't want you?

 

In terms of “convincing” the immigration officer, you may get lucky and find a more understanding officer, but all you can do is show really strong ties to your home country (and maybe a non-refundable return ticket). You can also go to the US with a tour group where they will hold your passport (and make sure to leave the country once you are done being a tourist).

 

 

 

MY MOTHER WAS DENIED A B1/B2 VISA, BUT DON'T KNOW WHY. THEY ONLY ASKED TWO QUESTIONS. THEY ASKED HIM ABOUT THE PROFESSION OF THE PERSON HE WAS GOING TO VISIT, BUT HE DID NOT KNOW HOW TO GIVE AN ANSWER. WHY?

Originally Answered: My mother was rejected from the B1/B2 visa, but I don't know why. They only asked him two questions, they asked him about the profession of the person he was going to visit and he could not answer that. Why?

 

The B1/B2 visa is a nonimmigrant visa and the person applying for this visa must demonstrate nonimmigrant intent in order to visit the U.S. How is nonimmigrant intent demonstrated by demonstrating strong ties to home, home ownership, secure job, a signed rental agreement, family ties, proof of other international travel where you returned home quickly?

 

When you say that she doesn't know why, this would not be the case, as all US consulate officers are required by law to stipulate that the purpose behind the refusal is based on US immigration law. They would have given him a piece of paper that clearly stated the reason behind the denial.

 

 

 

WHY ARE SCHENGEN COUNTRIES ISSUING A VISITOR VISA FOR A MAXIMUM OF 90 DAYS WHILE THE US AND CANADA ISSUES ONE FOR 10 YEARS?

The premise of the question is totally wrong. Before asking “why”, first know “if”.

 

1. Schengen countries issue a visitor visa for a maximum of 5 years. The duration of the visa granted depends on many factors, especially your profile and frequency of travel. I have seen cases where a first applicant was granted a 5 year visa. But they usually increase the duration with subsequent applications if the person travels to the Schengen area frequently. The duration of the visa is not the same as the number of days allowed in the Schnegen area.

 

 

 

1. The US issues the visa based on reciprocity with the applicant's country of citizenship and, for most countries, issues a 10-year visa for most countries. Again, the duration of the visa is not the same as the number of days allowed in the US.

 

 

1. Canada issues visa until the validity of the passport up to a maximum of 10 years. If the passport expires in 2 years, the visa will be issued for 2 years. Again, the duration of the visa is not the same as the number of days allowed in Canada.

 

 

Now let's go to "why" they do that, because they are independent countries and they make their own laws and rules. To expect three separate countries (Schengen can effectively be considered a single country when it comes to visitor visas due to harmonization agreements) to have the exact same policies for something as mundane as a visitor visa is pretty bizarre.

 

 Why then only include the US and Canada to compare with Schengen? Why not also include UK, Australia, Nigeria, China? Why does everyone have different visa policies?

 

 

 

 

HOW DOES THE 90/180 DAY SCHENGEN VISA RULE WORK?

 

The day you enter Schengen a clock starts. This watch is exclusive to you and has a duration of 180 days. If your friend is a week late, his clock runs separately from yours. So the 180 days are not tied to the calendar year.

 

 

In the time from your first day of arrival and 180 days thereafter, you can spend 90 days in the Schengen Area. This is based on a "day has started" type of system. You don't have 90 x 24 hours to spend. Even if you are only in a Schengen country for an hour, it counts as a full day. Your day of arrival and departure also count.

 

 

EXAMPLE:

Arrive at 23:55 (late night) to Schengen. This still counts as a full day towards the 90 you have available.

 

 

EXAMPLE:

You arrive at 23:55 in Schengen and immediately take a bus to a non-Schengen country. Leave the Schengen country at 00:30 the next day. This counts as 2 out of 90 days, even if you only spent 35 minutes in Schengen.

 

 

The 180-day rule gives you some flexibility. You don't have to spend your 90 days on a non-stop order. You can leave and come back. Time spent outside of Schengen does not count towards your 90 days.

 

 

The 90 days can be spent in any Schengen country. But you have to consider the Schengen Area as a big country. The time you spend in Austria still counts towards the time you have available in Norway.

 

Example: You stay 40 days in Norway and 40 days in Austria. This adds up to 80 days, which is perfectly fine.

 

Example: You stay 50 days in Norway and 50 days in Austria. This adds up to 100 days and you have overstayed your visa.

 

On day 181 the clock is reset. You now have a fresh new 90 day batch available for the next time you arrive in Schengen. Just like your first arrival, the new 180-day period begins the next day you arrive.

 

I can't stress this enough: don't go overboard on your visa. It's just not worth it. You will be deported and expelled from the entire Schengen Area for X years. This means that even if you are deported by Spain, you will be denied entry to Finland, Italy, France and all other Schengen nations. You will probably never be able to immigrate to any Schengen nation.

 

Another important thing is that the Schengen Visa is a tourist visa. You are not allowed to accept paid employment.

 

 

 

 

WILL A SCHENGEN VISA HELP GET A US VISA?

Yes, having a passport that has traveled extensively, especially to Europe and the UK, will have a positive impact on your application.

 

 

 

 

WHICH COUNTRY IS EASIEST TO ISSUE A SCHENGEN VISA?

None. One must have $$$$$$, strong ties to their countries, good job or income, good moral character to get tourist visas. Those who always ask for the “easier way” are likely to stay longer and work illegally in the EU. GENUINE TOURIST will not seek a visa the “easy way”.

 

 

 

 

WHICH SCHENGEN COUNTRY SHOULD I APPLY FOR THE VISA?

The application for the Schengen visa depends on the following conditions:

• your port of entry

• Number of nights you plan to stay in a country

• You must apply for a Schengen visa for the country where you plan to spend the maximum number of nights (you must show this on your itinerary, which is a requirement for the application). If in case you plan to spend the same number of nights in two or more countries, then you must apply for a visa for the country of port of entry (for example, if you plan to enter from France, apply at the French embassy/consulate/ application center).

 

 

 

 

CAN I CONVERT MY TOURIST VISA TO A STUDENT VISA IN CANADA?

No. In fact you have to leave Canada to try it. You do not have to return to your home country, but you must do so at one of Canada's consulates or foreign missions. However, if you leave, there is no guarantee that you will be able to get back in.

 

 

CAN YOU GET A SCHENGEN VISA IN 10 DAYS?

Hello everyone,

 

yes, you can get a Schengen visa within 10 days if your travel history is good and you have previously visited the Schengen union country. The travel history gives the councilman confidence that, in the past, when he obtained the visa, he did not abuse it. Typically, your Schengen visa should be completed within 2 weeks, although it can sometimes take a bit longer. To ensure a smooth process for your visa, make sure you know how long you have been visiting the Schengen territories and if you will need to leave the Schengen area and return.

 

FOLLOW THE PROCESS STEP BY STEP

 

Create your documents.

 

Make your appointment with VFS/BLS OR at a Consulate or Embassy.

 

Go to the appointment date, get your biometrics and submit the fee, and all the documents like your flight and hotel reservation, bank statement mention all the documents in the cover letter, along with your passport.

 

Wait for the embassy's decision and pick up your passport

 

The application must be finalized within 15 calendar days from the date of submission of the visa application to the relevant Embassy/Consulate in India.

 

 

 

HOW DOES IMMIGRATION KNOW THAT YOU STAYED 'LONGER' IN THE COUNTRY OF THE SCHENGEN VISA APPLICATION IF YOU ENTERED THROUGH A DIFFERENT COUNTRY?

It depends on who you mean by "immigration".

 

 

First of all, there are border immigration officers, and then there are in-country officers who deal with immigration matters. Under normal circumstances, you only meet the first group, at border control.

 

 

The sole purpose of the requirements to apply at the correct embassy, and to indicate the travel itinerary, is first to share the workload of visa processing between the Schengen States and, to that end, to let the work do it. the country that is "most affected", and secondly, to establish whether the stay will fulfill the purpose that it has been declared to serve - mainly, to make sure that you leave again within the allowed time, that you do not work illegally and that you do not run without money

 

 

What may, but need not, be required of you when entering for that purpose is a travel itinerary, travel and accommodation reservations, etc. Online, all border guards in any Schengen country can retrieve the travel itinerary data you provided in the course of your visa application via the VIS database. If you are unable to provide accommodation or any other supporting documentation that matches what you stated when applying for a visa, further questions may be asked at a second line inspection. If you changed your travel plans for a good reason (and possibly provide documentation of this), you may be admitted. In case you cannot establish that your visit is for the purpose you stated in the application, or if any doubt arises as to whether you meet the entry criteria, the visa may, in an extreme case, be annulled and you may be denied your visa. entry.

 

 

At the exit, what you have done is not usually valued. You're going to leave, and that's fine, if your visa hadn't expired at that time. The case would be different if it is assumed that you have represented a threat for what I mentioned, for example, if you are suspected of having worked illegally.

 

 

Within the Schengen area, there are normally no border controls. Spot checks only. Airline and hotel ID checks within the Schengen area have nothing to do with immigration enforcement. Airlines and hotels do not have access to the VIS database.

 

 

If a tourist staying based on a visa is suspected of committing a criminal offence, a background check may be conducted on the person, including visa status.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHEN APPLYING FOR A SCHENGEN VISA, HOW DO YOU PROVE THAT YOU WILL RETURN TO YOUR COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE? THIS HAPPENS FOR MANY APPLICANTS.

 

There is a set of documents that can demonstrate your intention to stay, financial stability and employment status.

 

• A good cover letter that explains the trip-stay-why you travel.

• Airline tickets / full itinerary (some country consulates will not recommend confirmed airline tickets as there is a high probability of rejection) - preferably to take the same country for entry and exit, even if you are traveling through the Schengen area.

• Your current bank statement (you must have enough balance to support your entire trip)

• Your current letter of employment / license letter from the company.

• Hotel reservation confirmation letter.

• If you are applying for a tourist visa, try to get an embassy reference from friends/relatives (their security number, passport details and bank statement) who are staying in the visiting country.

• Income statement for the last 3 years.

All the best for the visa application. :)

 

 

 

 

WILL A SCHENGEN VISIT VISA FOR SPAIN REFUSED THREE TIMES AFFECT MY STUDY VISA FOR THE US OR CANADA?

Echoing another answer, it will depend on the circumstance of the previous refusals. So will it affect applying for a Canadian or US study permit? Yes, he will do it. To what extent will depend on the circumstances.

 

 

Regardless of the circumstances, the worst thing you could do is lie (either expressly or by omission) about your visa refusals. Any misrepresentation or deception on your part will surely lead to the denial of the visa application.

 

Good luck!

 

 

 

WHEN APPLYING FOR A SCHENGEN VISA, SHOULD YOU APPLY FOR THE COUNTRY YOU ENTER FIRST OR THE COUNTRY YOU WILL STAY LONGER?

 

When applying for a Schengen visa, it is important to note that there is NO such thing as applying at the embassy/consulate/visa application center of the member states of your choice. The embassy/consulate/application center where you should apply will depend on where you actually plan to go, how much time you plan to spend in each of the states, and what the main purpose of your trip is.

 

 

If you only intend to visit one country, you must go to the designated application center for that particular country. Do not visit the Netherlands visa application center if you will only be visiting Iceland; go to the visa application center that serves Iceland, even if you enter and transit through NL (depending on your flights).

 

If you intend to visit more than one country, then you must identify the state that is your primary destination. A primary destination is defined as the destination where you will spend the most time if the purpose of your trip is the same for each of the countries you will visit, or where the main purpose of your trip will take place if it has more than one purpose. Your main purpose will also depend on the visa you ultimately apply for.

 

For example, if your itinerary is such that you will spend 2 days in Germany, 4 days in Estonia, 3 days in Latvia and 1 day in Poland, all for vacation, you should apply for a visa at the Estonian embassy/consulate.

 

If you are going to spend 6 days in Switzerland for vacation, but will be doing so after attending a 2-day conference in Austria, you should go to the Austrian embassy.

 

If there is no clear main destination and the purpose of your trip is the same everywhere, i.e. you will spend almost exactly the same amount of time in each member state, then you should apply to the application center of the member state where you wants to get there first.

 

For example, you'll enter via France and spend three days there, then three days in Denmark and Norway, all for vacation; You must go to the French consulate/embassy to obtain the visa.

 

I hope this helps. Good luck!

 

 

 

CAN I APPLY FOR A SCHENGEN VISA WHILE UNEMPLOYED?

Anyone can apply for a Schengen visa, whether employed or unemployed.

 

You can apply for the Schengen visa as a tourist visiting any Schengen country, or want to meet a relative or friend residing there or studying in any Schengen country. If the purpose of your trip is clearly defined, you are financially sound, your return plane tickets are with you, your hotel reservations are in place, it doesn't matter if you are employed or unemployed. There has to be a strong intention to return to your country of origin. Whatever the Embassy's questions, answers must be honest, clearly stated with evidence to back up your answers.

 

If all the inquiries from the Embassy are satisfied, you will surely get the Visa.

 

 

 

 

 

I HAVE A SCHENGEN VISA (MULTIPLE ENTRY OF 1 YEAR). HOW DOES THE DURATION OF THE VALIDITY OF THE VISA AND THE MAXIMUM STAY OF 90 DAYS IN THE SCHENGEN AREA WORK?

It depends. If it says 'Circulation Visa', it means 90 days in every 180-day period. So with a 1 year visa you get up to 2 180 day periods. If you stay continuously for 90 days, you will need to stay out for another 90 days before returning. If they issue you for a shorter period, then you should follow that period.

 

 

 

IF YOU STAYED LONGER IN A SCHENGEN COUNTRY, CAN YOU APPLY LATER FOR A VISA FROM ANOTHER SCHENGEN COUNTRY?

Well, it depends on the duration of your stay, if it's a couple of days or a week, that's fine, but it's months and years, then surely it's a big problem, all Schengen countries share the same data, so it doesn't matter if you Apply from another country, intact today, they keep a record of all your travel history, thanks to highly sophisticated technology and softwares, they keep a record of your entry and exit and the next time you apply it will be rejected , but it all depends if you can prove the overstay was due to some unavailable reasons then ok but as I said above what is the duration of the overstay?

 

 

 

CAN I ENTER AND/OR LEAVE THE SCHENGEN AREA THROUGH A COUNTRY DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE I HAVE A VISA?

ORIGINALLY ANSWERED: IS IT MANDATORY TO ENTER THE SCHENGEN AREA THROUGH THE COUNTRY WHICH GAVE ME A SCHENGEN VISA?

No, it is not always necessary to enter the Schengen area through the country that issued the visa. The standing rule is that the application center where you will apply for a visa ultimately depends on your primary destination. A main destination is where the main purpose of your trip will take place if you have many purposes; or the country in which you will spend more time if you have the same purpose at all times.

 

For example:

 

If you plan to go to a conference in France, but decide to spend a day or two in Germany for a day trip, then you need to obtain a visa from the French embassy. This is because their main reason for coming to the Schengen area is to attend their conference in France.

 

 

However, if you are going on vacation and decide to spend three days in France and four days in Germany, then you should go to the German embassy. You can use the number of nights you will sleep in each country in case there is any ambiguity because some days are used to travel between two countries.

 

If the main destination cannot be clearly determined (for example, you are going on vacation to France and Germany for three nights each), you must apply in the country where you want to enter the Schengen area.

 

 

Now let me take this opportunity to clarify one thing regarding the Schengen agreement. It is intended primarily for EU/EEA/Swiss citizens to facilitate the principle of free movement to which they are entitled, not for foreigners. So you see random checks, other passport holders are referred to their 'main destination' country, etc.

 

That principle probably has implications for what I'm going to say next. Although you don't always have to enter through the Schengen country that issued the visa, you may need to "register" with the immigration authorities once you enter their country. This is already achieved if you enter the Schengen area through the airports of the requesting country or if you stay in a hotel, in which case the hotel staff will take your passport data for you. Otherwise, you will have to visit the nearest immigration office on your own.

 

 

 

WHICH ARE THE SCHENGEN COUNTRIES THAT OFFER A 5 YEAR VISA?

Most could offer a visa for up to 10 years. But for tourism this does not mean that one can spend more than 90 of the 180 days in the Schengen area. These visas are usually multiple use. It means that one will not have to go and get a new visa every time they go to Schengen. Other visas, such as the study visa, may have a condition on how long you can stay. Or it could also be a specific work visa for a limited contract, although most work visas tend to be open. Typically, a first-time Schengen visitor will only get a single-use visa, and if they go more often in the future, they may be able to get a longer-term multiple-use visa, once they've established that they left on time and did not violate the visa. conditions say working illegally.

 

 

 

 

WHICH IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS FROM THE SCHENGEN COUNTRIES ARE EASY TO DEAL WITH?

There is no particular country that grants easy visas. Schengen visas are very document specific and all counties follow the same process for issuing visas. If you provide all the required documents, you will get a visa. You are supposed to apply for a visa from the country where you are going to stay the longest number of days during your trip.

 

In immigration forums, some people will say that X country gave them a visa easily, that doesn't mean that country is giving easy visas to everyone. Some will say that, Y refused your visa, that also does not mean that Y declined all visas.

 

Schengen countries grant visas on a case-by-case basis. Each new request is a new case with new documents. If the documents are ok, the visa is issued.

 

 

 

 

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET A SCHENGEN VISA IF YOU HAVE A US VISA?

Having a US visa does not influence the processing time to obtain a Schengen visa, which takes approximately 2 weeks.

 

 

 

 

WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED TIME FOR PROCESSING A SCHENGEN VISA APPLICATION IN THE US?

For non-US citizens, proof of US resident status (green card, valid US visa and copy of valid I-20 or valid I-AP66, visas…) is a basic requirement to be able to apply for a visa Schengen.

 

Your US visa or resident status must remain valid for at least 3 months after the last day of your proposed stay in the Schengen area.

 

Unfortunately, there is no fixed answer for this particular question due to the different deadline policies of the embassies/consulates in the different 26 countries that make up the Schengen country area.

 

While the processing of a visa does not take more than 72 hours in general, there are times when this process takes considerably longer, from 14 to 21 days in some countries for some citizens.

 

However, it is strongly recommended to apply for a Schengen visa around six weeks before departure, so that you can go on your trip as planned.

 

 

 

 

 

IF ONE PERSON'S SCHENGEN VISA APPLICATION HAS BEEN REJECTED, WILL ALL SCHENGEN VISA MEMBER STATES REJECT THEIR FUTURE SCHENGEN VISA APPLICATIONS?

I applied for Schengen tourist visa on November 24, 2017, was rejected on November 27, 2017. I reapplied on November 30, 2017 (after 3 days) and was approved on December 1, 2017.

 

The reason for my rejection was that the information provided for justification of purpose was unreliable. (the most vague reason in the list of reasons). The cover letter must be “printed” and not handwritten. A day-by-day itinerary should also be given in table format. These things I did not give in the first instance.

 

I applied at the French embassy in Santo Domingo on both occasions. So relax, there is no repeat rejection these days.

 

 

 

 

I APPLIED FOR A STUDY VISA IN CANADA, I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE FINAL DECISION ON MY APPLICATION, BUT MY ACADEMIC PROGRAM IS TWO YEARS AND MY PASSPORT EXPIRES IN ONE YEAR. THAT I HAVE TO DO?

 

Since most countries will not renew a passport that is valid for more than 6 months, you can proceed with your current passport. Your visa to travel to Canada and the study permit that will be issued to you upon arrival will be limited to the validity of your passport. At some point, you will need to contact your Embassy in Canada to renew your passport, after which you will be able to extend your study permit. In most cases, nothing can be done about the visa, so if you leave Canada during the course of your studies, you will need to apply for a new visa. That process can be unexpectedly long and can really mess up your travel plans.

 

 

 

 

CAN I GET A CANADA STUDY VISA IF I HAVE A STUDY GAP OF EIGHT TO TEN YEARS?

 

Study gaps are often issued by candidates applying for new study permits in Canada. A long study gap can be a drag on a university thinking about a candidate, but the Canadian education system is lenient enough to think about it for international students.

 

 

For undergraduate applicants, the study gap of up to 2 years is accepted and for postgraduate applicants, the study gap of up to five years is suitable. There are a couple of exceptions to a couple of students who have demonstrated exceptional expertise in their field of study. If the intern has any work experience they should point this out to the university as proof of their study gap, they often take a pay stub or appointment letter along with them.

 

 

The education system in Canada is extremely vocational, they don't want academics to focus only on books and theory; they inspire and educate students in a very different way by giving them knowledge about the important world through hands-on projects. Therefore, a study gap that can bring healthy benefits to the student's life must be meticulously planned. Canada's education system allows new students an adequate study gap so that they feel comfortable with the country's study pattern.

 

 

However, if you want your profile to stand out despite the gap in your studies, you should make an application that is stronger than others. And in order to promote you well and yet convince the visa officers with your profile, you would like to offer them a correct and honest justification of your gap and at the same time impress them too. Many times, visa officers are trying to find genuine candidates, just talented people, as shown on their score sheets. They immediately detect a case where they doubt that a person's intentions are not honest enough, which could extend their stay beyond the stipulated time of the course.

 

 

Well, if you are eager to create such a strong application, then you should consider highly professional and reputable third party writing services that usually do these types of applications for student visas. And from my personal experience, I would highly recommend you take on these professional services, which even I did.

 

 

 

 

 

AFTER AGE 30, WILL CANADA APPROVE A STUDENT VISA?

• There is no such rejection rate.

• There are many reasons for its rejection.

• First and the main reason is your age.

• You fall into the age category of the third age group.

• Which means that your contribution to the Canadian economy will be less than that of applicants in the first and second age groups.

 

 

AGE GROUPS: -

1st age group 18 -29

2nd age group 30–39

3rd age group 40-45
