I've applied for a visa to go abroad one month ago.Can the embassy still hold my visa without any explanation?

Question

What are embassies limits?

Are they over the law?

Can I ask for expnation about my application?

Can I use the Geneva convention to have more information?

Answer 1

an embassy does not owe you an explanation, it is on their soil that you are wanting to enter, if for a reason they want to refuse you ? it is their rights, same if you wanted to enter a home and the owner did not want to.....

no explanations are due to you .they are not holding your visa, their are refusing you a visa,

you can go try with the Geneva Convention, not sure you correctly  understand the Convention  here?

Answer 2

by my experience..the embassy does what it d**n well pleases.

good luck my friend. i wonder what countries we are talking about.

my fiance tried to get visa for my country about a week ago and was instantly rejected. they say he will stay illegally. i would never do that. imagine and Arab in usa who over stayed his visa!! they would take him someplace quiet and "talk" to him about it, I'm sure.

Answer 3

They might be overwhelmed with work at the moment...if its the Spanish.....remember everything is manyana with them!!! I would certainly ask them but I dont think it would do you any good being pushy with them in case they react and dont give you a visa at all.  They can all be bb when they want. Try asking them nicely and see if that helps

Have you advised them that you need to travel by a certain date if you have a valid reason for doing so?   Sometimes that helps.    Sickness and death are always given first priority if you have family in that country,

Answer 4

It depends where you are going .

They may be doing a full search on you.

Have you asked the Embassy concerned as to why the delay ?

Yes they have limits but I am sure you cant use Geneva convention,

Answer 5

If they have to investigate your past they are well within their rights. Allow more time next time if you're in a hurry..

Answer 6

You haven't mentioned the nationality of the embassy, so it is impossible to answer in more than generalities, which others already have done:  any country has the right to refuse entry to any individual, period.

The Geneva Conventions are totally irrelevant:  they concern the treatment of combatants and non-combatants in war.  They have nothing to do with visas or international travel.
