We’ve put together our best suggestions in regards to the Appeal Process in this PDF:
VISA APPEALS :
Make photos copies of everything you turn in, because you just never know what you’ll need to be prepared for (for example, we recently had a staff members paperwork in transit get hijacked).
If you are wanting to ensure the latest information and best assistance for your visa application process, you are always welcome to hire Imcosa to assist you as they are professionals in this area. Pursuing this option is expensive and doesn’t guarantee a visa, but its worth it for many of our missionaries.
