“My name is Augustus Cassell, and I am a Liberian currently studying in Rwanda on a scholarship to study in China. I have submitted all the required documents, including a bank statement from my sponsor. However, during my recent visit to the embassy, my visa application was rejected. I was told that the only way they would issue the visa is if my bank statement came from Rwanda, meaning that my father would need to have an account in Rwanda. However, my father is currently in Liberia, which is why he submitted his bank statement from there. Given that I am running out of time, I would like to know the best way forward in this situation.”
