“I was too confident.” That’s the greatest realization that slapped my face when I received my passport without the stamped of Schengen Visa from the German Embassy.
It was my second time to apply for a Schengen Visa in the same Embassy. I thought I was prepared enough and can easily get that visa as smooth as my first application. I was wrong.

Okay, enough with the negativity for a minute. pause for a moment and try to think of yourself here:

Relaxing, isn’t it? Those photos can be one of the reasons to attract positive senses and stay motivated even if a rejection comes. Sometimes, depending on every applicant’s case, to re-apply is not the best, immediate solution once you got rejected. There is a way to skip repeating the steps of making an interview schedule, filing your documents, attending the personal interview, and waiting for your passport to be delivered. The answer for a Refusal of Visa is a “Remonstrance”. This process is definitely legal and free, and I can tell the best one.

REJECTION IS NOT THE end OF YOUR dream EUROPE TRIP!
So, let me boost up your confidence by sharing my experience on how to file a Remonstration (asking for a new decision) of your denied SCHENGEN VISA application in less THAN A MONTH, and finally step in your feet to where ever Schengen countries in you are routing to.

I received the Ablehnungsbescheid (Refusal of Visa Letter/Notification).
“Your application is hereby refused.” I wish that every Schengen Visa applicant will not see this line.
I know it is heartbreaking to see the letters D-E-N-I-E-D on a paper instead of the newly-attached Visa on your passport, but try to stay focus and read my following experience.
There are nine general reasons why your application is denied:
There are 9 general reasons for denial
To make these reasons clearer, the letter provides an outlined “sub-reasons” on why your application was not successful.
The sub-reasons for denial
Whatever marked in your Refusal Letter should be clear enough for you to take the next step. analyze it and if you think that you can OPPOSE THE reason which the embassy noted and therefore DO NOT agree WITH ITS decision in denying your application, start to prepare for the filing of your Remonstration.
IMPORTANT: If you deem that the Embassy’s decision is right and you do not have any acceptable reasons and supporting documents for your remonstrance, stop reading this and start WITH YOUR new APPLICATION!

I crafted my Remonstrance Letter and prepared the necessary documents which support my appeal.
The rejection of my visa application denoted reason Number 8: “The information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not reliable.”
I tried to remember what I have said during my interview and could not recall what’s wrong and what’s lacking with the details I have uttered. The supporting reason answered that: “Your purpose of the stay was not substantiated by the documents presented.”
On my second application in January 2015 for a Visitor’s Visa, I submitted the same documents based on my first application in August 2014 and was too confident (like what I have said in the first paragraph of this article. Apologies for saying it again.) that it would give the same result. but I was stupid enough not to consider the big difference on the span of time I am requesting for. I requested for a 21-day stay on my application last year while my 2015 application was a 90-day (the maximum days you can get within six months) multi-entry Schengen Visa. though I explained that my three-month stay will not only focus on visiting a pal but also academic reasons such as to prepare for the Master’s program I will attend in Hamburg, Germany, by taking a language course, I failed to submit the valid documents on these statements as I focused on the general and basic requirements of a Visa for the purpose of visiting a friend. I opted the Visitor’s Visa as I have a fonullnull
