Hi Shah2u, The person in question has all the requirements and has got visit visas at the same emabassy many times without any stress. But this fella wants to know if denial (for tourist visa)at another embassy could affect his chances at other western country's embassy.

The reason for the denial was that the documents presented couldn't convince the visa officer that he would be back to country of residence/origin despite having excellent travel history in eastern,middle eastern/ gulf and western countries - has never overstayed in any of the countries visited.

The person in question wants to study for a post graduate degree, hence needs a student visa. He's got more than enough cash to finance his studies but needs advice how to go about it.

Thanks once again for the sensible inputs.
