RP RENEWAL -- HELP PLEASE

By bulltongue

I am applying for schengen visa and my RP is still 4 months valid. The immi dept refused to renew it. They said that it has to be at least three months. My problem is I have to apply for the visa next week.

Question:

Will the french embassy approve my application eventhough its not valid until 6 months as per their requirement?
This is my second time. My previous visa expired last July 1.

If I renew my RP on Aug 1 (3 months before expiry) how long will it usually takes to be processed?

I am hoping you that even1 among you guys have experienced the same and will be able to help me.

Thank you in advance.

1.) U should renew ur RP 1st before applying to The Embassy (either French or Germany). The RP validity should be min. 6 months.

2.) RP renewal can be done within 1 day, just filled up the renewal form & pic, submit it to ur PRO for further process.

Kindly clarify him/her that ur RP should be renewed whereas a mandatory requirement of the Embassies to enable u for applying a Schengen visa, that the Applicant's RP has to be valid min. 6 months.

Ur office's PRO should assist u in this concern.

3.) A Schengen visa can be done within 14 working days upon submittion and completing all documents required.

Hope above information will help u & Gud luck.

These Immigration guys are JERKS. My cousin has his RP renewed just a week back,with 5 months remaining to its expiry. His RP was supposed to get expired on 3rd December but as he was travelling to his home country and planning to stay there for six months, he got it renewed before leaving.

Anyways, renewel of RP can be done in one day....infact within three hours depending on the JERK sitting on the counter.
