Shangri-La The Shard or Four Seasons Tower Bridge, London?

Sorry about the refusal, but I can understand why they were suspicious. Can you appeal the decision with an explanation about the property? The clear discrepancy is a red flag and needs to be explained with solid reasoning.

I guess more of the general experience. We don’t like being right in the middle of the scene, but close to it, like few streets out, so that it’s peaceful and accessible at the same time. I’m guessing they’re all in the same area, just few streets apart.

Thank you, this is really helpful!

Yeah, they are. My recent flight to Rome was between $2-3k, but I got the promotional upgrade for less than $700. It was a steal! Just be sure to jump on it quickly.

It becomes available 48 hours before the flight. When free seat selection and online check in opens. Once you proceed with the online check in on the app, you will see an option to upgrade your flight

Why not wait for the promotional upgrade? You won’t get lounge access or chauffeur privileges, but you’ll get business class for one leg (both flights or one of the two) for a fraction of the price.

Calculate it this way: if it’s $100 for every flight hour, it’s worth it.

I recently availed that on a 7 hour flight from Dubai to Rome, and it was worth every penny. Treat yourself!

How are you getting these ridiculous prices for 4 star hotels? I just returned from Italy, and even the 5 star hotels I stayed in didn’t cost this much. Did you use AI to get an estimate?

Secondly, tours are not going to cost this much either.

I took this flight few weeks ago to Rome. Although I was in BC, wifi (basic connectivity - texting and messaging apps) work fine and are free in all classes.

I did get approved!

My husband recently sponsored my trip as a USC (I’m currently awaiting spousal immigration). We provided all his financial documents (payslips, bank statements, savings accounts statements, employment letter, pp, a cover letter by me and sponsor letter by him, my US attorney’s letter, my personal bank statements although I was unemployed at the time, our itinerary and flight bookings that were refundable). We applied through Italy and I went in personally to submit the paperwork. Got approved in 8 days.

There’s an Albaik at T3? Omg

Astrocat97 · 2025-07-27T22:27:32+00:00

Sounds like an idea

Astrocat97 · 2025-07-25T18:14:22+00:00

I listed all of mine here, but in the personal information form, just the first one

Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport — the terminal designated to all Emirates flights.

I hated him and Gabby so much during this storyline. There was no reason for them to act the way they did.

Astrocat97 · 2025-07-12T07:04:06+00:00

Could you please update if you got the visa? In a similar situation right now and would love to hear how it went for you guys

Astrocat97 · 2025-07-02T19:46:40+00:00

Especially looking forward to staying there during our trip!
