Re: visa = aparthied

Refused Visa's are often refused because the applications are insufficiently researched and poorly executed. The visa officers have very little time to spend on each application, so unless it is clear, answers and demonstrates the validity of the answers (which is often not easy) - then the answer will be NO, which in your situation Sam can be heart breaking, but it is nothing other than the following of rules to the letter.

It's an expensive business, but get your paper work together with proof to substantiate it and apply again and if necessary again - are you after a visitor visa or a settlement visa - settlement is harder and much more expensive.

Good luck

Re: visa = aparthied

well 4 ur information mr high commission..i have lived with my family for more than 2 years so i can sufficiantly say that ive had the gambian experience.

basically i want out of the gambia as to stay for a short time its a lovely place..but to settle in its a corrupt minefield set to screw any unsuspecting person out of anything they may have.

as for her family..they have done nothing but help..
they r self sufficiant n dont need my money..i stayed at their home for over a month after my wife delivered our son n probably didnt spend more than d500 in the entire month.

i want my family out of there to join me in my country so that they 2 can experience wat its like to like in a country free of corruption and back-handers..where justice is for the rich and the poor r left to die
