Consultant or not, the onus of all information provided is on the applicant, in eyes of Visa Officer. Using licensed/unlicensed/any consultant does not effect visa officer's decision.
Visa officer tries to find the answer to few following question:
- why this person will not over stay his/her visa duration?
- What will compel him/her to come out of Visa Officer's country? Job? How much is the income now? Can he earn more in country X by legal/illegal means?
- How much money this typical holiday costs?
- How is he managing this money? From where he is getting? Is it his own? Parked?
- is it normal in his financial circumstances to spend x amount for money on this holiday? Can he afford this?
- Ho will he be affected (good or bad) in home country if he does not come back? Job loss? Separation from Family? His Living Standards in Home v/s possible living standards in this country?
