Anonymous participant correct, or just reject the application entirely. I would call getting a METV instead of a complete rejection a bonus….

Lucky the Embassy didn’t just outright reject the application as is the case with many others. Getting a METV is a bonus and shows that some Embassies are customer oriented.

what don’t you understand about the concept of a service fee to apply?

Anonymous participant no I don’t work at an Embassy, but I do have a working brain that employs logic that sees the stupidity in your question. What do you not understand about paying an application fee?
Pete *******
Anonymous participant if you think that visa fees go into the pocket of Embassy staff you truly are mistaken.

It’s an application fee not a success fee. You applied therefore regardless of the result you pay the fee.
