It's 2018 and agian, my Chinese fellows... so I am an international student in the US with my Chinese passport.

You all seem to even know about this whole situation but I literally arrived in Russia with no visa (FIFA) and thinking I'd be able to apply here.

Might be by late to ask already but I submitted all my documents with a letter explaining how stupid I am to not considering myself as a "resident" in the US with a student visa therefore having the idea that I can always apply as I go (bad influence from backpackers as well...)

I applied for Frence where I will have my longest stay and I had all the flights in Schengen area booked/submitted, and each Schengen country with a ticket to a music festival (festival need...).

Bro it's like 2k dollars if they count that up but I don't have any hotel booked cuz I'm a couchsurfer. My friend in Paris wrote an invitation letter as well, not even the fancy one from some office though.

I emailed VFS in London to see if I get declined here can I apply there, but I also have a type C for 6 months (I believe we have the same visa, but I'm not studying there or anything... your school should have advised/helped you a better visa). And VFS said no...

I couldn't sleep for a week or enjoy Russia/FIFA now... not too much information up here tbh, but would you all share the results or what did you end up doing with this?
