have now been waiting for over 2 years for decision! contacted them many times with a generic reply given everytime.

We received a random email from INIS requesting the full postal address of the EU Spouse for a accompany spouse visa application. Has anyone else had this request?

We had given up on the application due to the 18+months it was outstanding.

So can she start working pretty much as soon as I do? Or does she have to wait after 3 months to apply for a residence card? under the EU rules yes she is entitled to work as soon as you become a "qualified person" as above. However it may be difficult to obtain employment without a resid...

I thought there were no restrictions for myself working as I'm from England. Is there a way I need to prove this or is my passport enough? that is right, you actually have to exercise your treaty rights to be a qualified person - i.e. employed/self employed, studying, self sufficient. once you can ...

alot of applications are still in queue. we applied May 2015 and still no outcome (Pakistan Spouse). Have sent emails a number of times sometimes with a generic reply and other times no reply. Had solvit involved and while back with no difference.likely will now withdraw application

we are now in the process of completing the application to Travel to France in March. On the application form it doesn't state whether it is to 'join spouse' or 'accompany spouse'; do they issue "join Spouse" visas for schengen states as i was planning to travel from UK with our children a...

Hi guys, Just wanted to post an update, the Belgium embassy got back to my questions and I've posted what is need below for anyone in a similar boat. Information required for VISA Apply for a Schengen 90 day short stay visa, family member of EU citizen category; Have valid passports of applicants a...

I am not sure why you are complicating. If you are EU citizen working in Ireland and your wife is non-EU citizen, she just needs to apply for Short Stay one entry C visa (she will get in 4 weeks maximum) and she can come to Ireland and then apply for stamp 4. 4 weeks max isnt realistic. we applied ...

how did this work out for you?

Spain seems funny about marriage certificates, watch out for that. More in forum if you search. ok thanks, i will have a read on the forum regarding the certificates. i assume its the short stay visit visa that is applied for? is it worthwhile completing a letterhead stating applying under the eu d...

Thank you all for the advise.

We have decided to try Spain.

If anyone is able to confirm the correct site to apply for spain that would be most helpful

is anyone able to confirm the correct website to apply for eu spouse visa for France, Germany and Spain- google brings up many links to different sites

a stupid mistake the whole family is paying for. they normally dont conduct cross checks with initial RC applications. i know in the UK they dont do over seas checks until PR is applied for Entry visas are different from EU-related docs; no good character test for EU docs. obviously if asked, every...

However, why was your spouse's ilr revoked? The visa might depend on this. it was revoked because a silly mistake made over 30 years ago to do with smuggling class A, sentenced 6.5years, served 3. From looking at the schengen/join eu spouse visa application it doesn't appear as though they ask deta...

yes but what i was asking is if a EU join/accompany spouse visa is obtained to enter one state, would it be an issue to apply for an art10 RC in a different stated ?

thanks

Hello once again all, surely someone can assist? Just as n update I have now got a place in Belgium and have been over and will be living here for the foreseeable future. As such, when I apply for a Schengen visa, I assume I cn apply under the spouse of an EU citizen given that I no longer live in ...

I applied for Irish EUTR visa for my wife in may2015 no answer up to march 2016. In March I withdraw my application and applied for French visa for her. They issued the visa within 10 working days. How did you withdraw your application? i emailed over 1 month ago with no reply. Did you apply for sc...

I am still waiting, applied end of May 2015.. think there will be little hope; looking at the most recent decision list on INIS website it appears that most EEA applications have been refused, e.g some of the reasons - F:- Finances:- evidence provided is deemed insufficient or incomplete FM: - Famil...
