Hi everyone
My sister in law got a conclude email and unfortunately she was refused a visa today for no satisfying reasons.
No documents were missing and nothing to unsatisfy the officer.
I can post the refusal reasons.
My question is can i write to the PAP as theres nothing to concern the officer for her to return back to the country she resides in since her birth.
Any help plz

Hi , I have received same email for my mother requesting additional documents about my brothers employment and also bank statement after PAP. I have provided my brother employment letter in the original application and I don’t know what else I can provide to show the employment , should I send the employment letter again ( update one) ?

Nothing you just need to fill the PAP form and send it to them.

Hi guys... Getting ‚concluded‘ in your mail doesn‘t always mean the visa has been rejected. I went to TLS Berlin on the 17th, I got a concluded mail on the 18th and I felt bad because normally it takes about two weeks to get a response but I got mine the next day. I googled what it meant and landed on this forum and trust me I felt more worse because I forgot to translate my documents and I just waited for the rejection. Lo and Behold my Passport was sent back via DHL and I got the VISA
I am super super elated, I got my visa in less than a week!!!!!!!

If you had read the whole thread, the concluded/issued email issue is
specific to applications in Abu Dhabi.

Please DO NOT send me a PM for immigration advice. I reserve the right to ignore the PM and not respond.

Hi I have a lawyer so he did it for me but I am sure you can do without lawyer as well , there are many people in this forum that they have done this by them-self.

No I have applied from Iran but our decision is made by Abu Dhabi so we apply in VFS at Tehran and VFS send all the document to Abu Dhabi for decision. From what I understand if they want to give you a visa they will ask for resubmit the passport and if they wanna re-refuse they send concluded email and after that the refusal letter so he might receive another letter explaining the reason for re-refusal.

Hey did you hear back on the decision?
My parents applied for a six months visit visa and got the 'concluded' email today from Abu Dhabi. Looking at the trend so far over last 12 or so months, it seems that Abu Dhabi 'conlcuded' means refusal, whereas issued typically means visa granted.
Do let us know the outcome once you collect your documents. I will post an update as well (and best of luck!).

To confirm the trend, conclude from Abu Dhabi is refusal (at least to visit applications submitted from Pakistan).
