Hello Members, We had given 2nd attempt this week. Submitted short term visa application for Entry visa at German Embassy Mumbai. next day got call, suggesting to submit application in Long-term Family re-union visa. Well we are really worried now. EU laws looks to be just on paper. I had mentioned ...

Thank you so much Caravel88 for confirming. Have been to VFS-Mumbai, they refused to accept application & suggested to call German consulate nos for taking appointment. It's quite frustrating. We had tried it in past, after picking up call they speak for hardly 5 mins & insist to apply in VF...

Thank you Caravel88 for your reply. By EU Spouse visa you mean visa under EU Free Movement rt? Because somehow local bodies in India were suggesting us to submit National Visa as from application they understood it is for stay > 90 days. Just want to be sure. I am in process of making 2nd Applicatio...

Dear Members, I am caught in a very tricky situation. So looking forward to your advises. I have British citizenship. My wife is an Indian with UK dependent Visa.

Thanks Casa for clarifying it further. Now i understand what do you mean by 100% rejections .. it's really impossible to get it through so it would be better if I plan to leave UK in few years & try to short term visit visa's till that time. Thanks all this forum is really great !!

Thank you so much for your valuable suggestions on all options. Your knowledge is really appreciable.
In this case, I will move their second journey to June-Nov-17, hope that should not be a problem then ..

Just to be clear, my intentions are not to play around UK govt at all.

I am just checking if someone has experienced this particular scenario then how to deal with it.
If no one then would just like to know what are my options.

Dear All, I had obtained ILR in July-15. At that time my wife was here but since we were giving a first attempt for ILR we thought initially to apply for myself (main applicant) & later we can apply for her. She has a valid work visa till end of this year. She is a working lady but she had to re...

Thank you CR001 for your help so far. I will check the requirements for FLR(M) & apply accordingly.

her Visa Start date : 19/10/2014 & end date is 18/10/2015.
Visa Type : Tier 2 ICT (Short Term)

@CR001 : Thanks a ton for your quick help. Just want to highlight that she has never been on my dependent visa. In FLR(M) looks suitable but it mentions 2 routes (i.e. 2 yrs & 5 yrs on dependent). I believe we are not meeting that criteria. So was bit concerned. please suggest further. @Vinny: S...

My wife first came to UK in 2012 on ICT short term for the same company. In that tenure she stayed here for 1 year. Then she left UK for good. In 2014 we got married, thi...
