THE FRENCH ****

I App**** to the french embassy via VFS on the 26th of Jan and was 6told it will take 10 working days , after waiting till the 17th of feb i went to the embassy to inquire about the status of my Visiting visa and was told i was denied after waiting 3 hours , with a letter that was date 5th of Feb.I was told to appeal and come back the thursday the following week which i did on the 19th of feburary by providing the neccesary documents they required which also stated i was travelling with my partner from cape town who has already recieved her visa. on going to the office and calling they kept saying the person to handle my case is not on seat or they are not working, i have over 5 friends with similar situations , which means the embassy collects our money and finds an excuse to deny us , becuase i provdied them with all the documents they requested and they keep posting me to call another day , please can you help with this matter. peter ukhurebor
