How medical geneticist got French visa
According to Mkpouto, who is currently abroad, her fellowship sent her name and those of others to the Embassy of France in Dublin.
Next, the embassy sent her an email requesting that she bring her passport and documents to them. Mkpouto said she submitted her complete documents, and after two days, they returned her passport with a long-term French visa.
An excited Mkpouto admitted that it is the sweetest visa she has ever received, noting that it is another benefit of schooling, which she said increases mobility around the world.
She threw shade at those who ridicule the education. Her Facebook post read:
"I just came home to find I have been granted a French visa
"I didn’t even apply for this visa. Not in the way that I always apply for every other visa in my life.
"My fellowship just sent our names to the embassy of France in Dublin.
"The embassy sent me an email asking me to bring my passport and documents to them.
"I gave them my complete documents on Monday.
"Today they sent my passport back with a long term French visa in it.
"Just 2 working days to process!
"And I did not pay €1 for it.
"That is by far the sweetest visa I have ever been granted.
"Yet another benefit of going to school. Increased mobility around the world.
"But you say school na scam.
"Okay na.
"Anyways, we’re off to France baby!!"

Visa denial: Man takes France to court
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man had taken France to court and won N2.1 million after he was denied a visa.
Jean Mboulè had applied for two Schengen visas, one for himself and the other for his wife. His wife's visa application was granted, but his own was denied, leaving him confused as to why he received a negative response. Mboulè had applied for the Schengen visas through the French embassy in South Africa, where he lives with his wife.
Mboulè is from Cameroon, but he was born in France, while his wife is from South Africa. He decided not to allow the denial to slide because he used the same documents and financial statements with his wife, whose visa application was granted, while his was denied.
