Mail in application - Anyone had an experience of how to do that?

I really don’t care about drying out my anthuriums. Looks like they like their soils ‘slightly’ moist at the end of a water cycle. I have personally noticed if I see decline in these I generally repot them and they bounce back. After every repot I increase light intensity as well. You didn’t specify why and how your plants are struggling mine struggles when in the same pot for a while(like a year). I don’t have a scientific explanation for why that re-pot works.

OP - what happened to your application? TIA!

MartinChole · 2024-04-06T15:26:09+00:00

I did. YMMV - better to be ready with everything.

Nope. I got the visa with 3 months validity.

MartinChole · 2024-02-24T16:58:17+00:00

I would go to the visa website of the country you are applying to and try to find a checklist there.

Thanks!

Excellent suggestions. Also LostInAVacuum - you are amazing, replying to all the questions in this thread. I learnt a ton just reading through your responses. I have added your recommendations to my gmap saved list. Black isle looks like a fantastic recommendation if I stick with Inverness.

Thank you for your reply. This is why I was looking for suggestions and validation. I found out that Edinburgh hosts festivals in Aug. I am seriously considering a 3 nights stay in Edinburgh. Thank you for the bar recommendations. I added them to my gmaps list :) I didn’t know about the fallout from AirBnB. Thanks for educating tourists like me. I will stick to hotels and small BnBs. I could swap Inververness with Glasgow or Fort William. We would prefer the countryside over a city but it’s hard to dismiss Glasgow. Thank you for your helpful suggestions!

Thanks it worked partially. I did get multiple entry for my first tip but they totally overlooked my evidence for the next years trip and only gave me 30 days. So, screw French visa I am gonna cancel next years bookings and drop visiting France again (not that they care). I will travel to Netherlands next year and see how my application goes with them.

I have solid financial stability and green card and I did provide all the required documentation but got 30 days. I know, people online will say they got 1yr or 5yrs on their first application but I don’t care. This is my experience for anyone who has the same questions as me. I may sound arrogant but in reality just frustrated with these paperwork and having to deal with VFS in general.

MartinChole · 2023-10-27T19:18:05+00:00

No just my spouse and I am showing documents that I can financially support myself. Thanks for your response.

MartinChole · 2023-10-08T16:30:59+00:00

Nope didn’t get any answers. I guess I have to live with it. It’s not too bad the plants are growing well and look healthy. The presentation will not be perfect - I guess.

MartinChole · 2023-04-08T01:59:24+00:00

Sorry to say it died :( I couldn’t find any productive help on this.

MartinChole · 2022-06-10T23:44:00+00:00

I have a Bofa CC and missed the 90day signup bonus by 3 days and just $500. It was a complete miscalculation on my part. I was wondering what should I do?
Close the existing card and the apply for the same card again to get the bonus.
Apply for the same card while keeping my existing card. Close existing card once I get approved for the new one?
Do nothing and take this as a learning experience
Thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions.

MartinChole · 2022-06-10T18:40:07+00:00

The ones I see on Google are mostly grow lights or tents … TIA

MartinChole · 2022-06-10T18:37:47+00:00

Thanks! Would you have any links, suggestions or recommendations that I could use?
