h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My Name is Tanveer Ahmad and I am a pakistani national. I am in a cotton waste export business and currently working in UK and France and in the past shipped thousands of bales of cotton waste to Europe and England. I have been to almost all the big countries of the world i.e, England, United States of America, Spain, Germany, Arab Emirates and France as well. I have applied for French visa from Paksitan in March 2010 and fulfil all the requirments (documentation). My buyer (in France) whose invitation was attached for visa also be interviewed about my status. During my interview I have been told that the visa process time will be four (4) working. I wrote an e-mail followed by a fax to the honourable french embassy visa officer to inquire about the status of my visa but no response from the embassy side. Right after two days I received my passport and i was very surprised that there was no visa sticker on my passport. No rejection reason was given just a slip that the visa fee.

I had to see my buyer in Rouen France but the embassy did not issued me visa. And there was no reason.

At least they should inform me the reason for the rejection.

Hi Tanveer,
I sent a sponsor letter issued by local municipal office to bring my mother-in-law from Karachi. I provided all the necessary documents.
Her visas was refused with out any reason. Trying to join them(visa Dept) on phone, but NO REPLY.
I'd like to know if could get visa or an answer for the refusal.
If YES, how did you manage.
Thanks
