- Visas are active once granted. It has the issued and expiration dates listed clearly, regardless of when you enter (your entry stamp).

Unfortunately, that is the norm with cancelations. Very vague with no details. Which embassy did you apply via and are you in that county now? Someone recently had their application canceled in Vietnam and the paperwork has the visa firm’s email listed. They then reapplied without the firm’s support (information listed) and it was approved. Was the email used in the application the legal firm’s email?

- Did a quick search, the first one I see was from March 27th and it was via the Dubai embassy

@Tore ********

there have been other cases like this

Unfortunately not. They decided to only give you a tourist visa

I have seen people ask about it, but never heard anyone actually

successfully do it

Have not seen anyone cancel DTV yet, so it is surprising that you say you have seen quite a few.

You need to be in the jurisdiction that you are applying via

I think the simpler and straight forward, the better. It seems that when you overcomplicate the paperwork, it leads to issues

If you look at past posts here, you will see that LA has always required 17,000.
