They never consider
I have applied for a short business stay there. I have obtained all necessary papers, invitation from a very high-profile studio/marketing agency in Paris, a financial guarantee letter and a bank statement that shows that my income is very high. They asked to have an agreement but this was not the case because I am only a freelancer and I am there working with an Italian company but we will make the recordings of the video-game in the French studio. They said; so we need only the agreement from the Italian company!! I have bought an agreement from another very well know company in Italy, signed from the CEO and we have CC'd the French Studio and they also attached a letter giving all necessary details, ALL, the videogame's title, the duration, the talents name, why they need me there, everything, stamped a signed. They did not get back to us until Philippe the Studio's owner had to call them from France and they said I will be rejected because the contract is with an Italian agency! Dumb officials! you said just have the agreement from the Italian company with all invitations, guarantee letters, from the French company and then they refused in the day of the departure. They did not even give us a chance to find an alternative.

I will find a way not to let this through.

They have really harmed my business not ruined a vacation or any! They ruined my business! really!

refused visa for my wife and children
To: Her Excellency the French consul in Egypt: Mme Marie Masdupuy
Subject: refused visa for my wife and children
My family did apply for a French Visa TO Travel on holiday in mid July 2015
We Went to TLS office on the 23ed of April where we applied for a visa with ID no 4962904 for:
1-My wife: Sally Mohsen Hamdy. Passport No;A03724770
2-My Daughter: Lobna Amr Mohamed Elhaly Ahmed. Aged 15 .Passport No :A10088537.
3-My Son: Yassin Amr Mohamed Elhaly Ahmed. Aged 12.Passport No: A1008840.
We had all the requested documents:
*school papers for the kids
*work papers for my wife
*decent bank statement for the past 6 month that shows easily that we can afford a French Holiday.
*hotel booking for the period they intend to travel
*i even have their confirmed air tickets which is my mistake to book and lose all that money on it now but i thought i have no reason to worry as:
1-My wife and myself did spend our honey moon in France in 1998
2-My wife and myself did get a French Visa in 2006 but due to some home personal issues we could not travel on the assigned visa date
3-As a family we did travel on holiday to Turkey and USA more than once.
I was there with them at the TLS office and did sign on the papers of my children allowing them to travel with their mother but i did not request a visa for myself as i am quite busy with my work this summer.
i am writing to you to ask for a logical reason to deny my children the visa as they are extremely annoyed specially that one of the embassy staff did phone my wife on the 26th asking first why i was not there at TLS office (which is very strange because that means he did not look at the papers) then when my wife said i was there he asked why i did not apply for a visa and then he said the embassy is going to contact us to come in for a personal meeting.
But no more contacting and just refusal.
My children and my wife are really disappointed and i am very annoyed as i did invest a considerable amount of money in all that deal with TLS and air tickets and hotel booking
so even though i do understand the French fear of terror and terrorists which is very justified but i believe that my family could not be considered a threat to the French nation security as well i believe i owe my family a reasonable explanation for why they were refused.
I would really appreciate if you can help me to give them that answer
Thanks for your valuable time
Best regards
