You seem to have provided all the necessary documents and then some... I feel like they refused your application because of previous refusals and your intention to leave the country can't be ascertained because you intended to move to one of the Schengen states in your previous application. It is no...

Can you list all the documents you submitted to the German embassy and which country did you apply from? launched new application to german embassy got same refusal like netherland and poland justification for the purpose and intention to leave the territorry , what BS is going on with us , seriousl...

It's sad that SOLVIT didn't help at all in this matter but please do not give up. Best I can advise is to submit a new application to another Schengen state and hope for the best. My wife and I travelled to Amsterdam and from Amsterdam to Spain for our 8 day holiday. Now we are looking to visit Ger...

Nothing as in he can continue using his EU Family member card to travel to Europe visa free with his EU Spouse after getting an ILR?

Thanks for your reply. Based on his current situation he only qualifies for pre-settled status and the details of that status are still yet to be finalised by HO/Parliament. I am still curious to know what happens to the EU RC when someone on EU Family Member visa acquires ILR through 10 year reside...

Hi all, I am asking this question on behalf of a friend. He will be applying for ILR under the 10 year rule at the end of this year and he currently has an EEA Family member card that's valid for another 4 years. When he applies for ILR and receives it (hopefully), will he need to surrender his EEA ...

Hi MAGDA-PL, I am good, thank you. Hope you are doing well, too. Please see the covering letter from my spouse and the letter of support from myself below, which we submitted when we applied for the Netherlands visa: Letter from Applicant Date: Netherlands Embassy in Islamabad Diplomatic Enclave, Se...

Have you contacted SOLVIT for an update since they forwarded the case to SOLVIT Netherlands? If not, I would recommend emailing and calling them to get an update on the matter. We submitted our complaint on 08-03-2018 then didn't hear anything from SOLVIT UK but we did get a response from the embass...

I stand corrected :) thanks Caravel88 What are your country of citizenships? Which EU embassy in Russia did you contact? VFS Global for Germany in Russia provides the following information: Proof of legal residence in the Russian Federation in line with federal legislation (e.g. residence permit, lo...

Hello everyone, Considering this forum really helpful i have come up with a query. I am on a tourist visa in russia with my non eu spouce who is also on tourist visa and we would like to apply for eu spouce visa for him, but as i have been speaking to some eu embassies over the phone in russia they...

I don't think you have anything to worry about. The hand written form should be accepted and AFAIK these centres only go by the form you submit in person and not what you might have filled online on the form. Generally online forms are there to help the applicants with the application process. Hi al...

Good news - we collected the passport today and a single entry visa has been issued for 45 days with 30 day stay. Best of luck to everyone with their process! congratulations, extremely happy for ya, please pray for me as well, Poland solvit sent the case to solvit Netherlands we are waiting to hea...

@Caravel88 Many thanks for your support. It has been over a month, indeed and I am glad it's finally over now and we can look forward to planning and eventually enjoying our holiday.

This is purely for visit. I have considered settlement but that'll be in Spain, end of this year or early next year.

It was over a month ago but I belive I put tourism and made a note to say honeymoon If you ticked tourism then they can definitely ask for financial documents, I am afraid. It is odd that they asked for proof of work from you instead of your spouse. However, your spouse does qualify for free visa a...

So I really need some advice.. I got married just over a month ago I am a British citizen and I married a egyotian. We wanted to go to Germany for our honey moon so we applied for a shengen visa for my spouse we were due to fly on the 20th and we applied for the visa on the 4th. Now I have just rea...

@MAGDA-PL I wish we had the visa issued and tbh we should have had it issued by now but don't what is going on with our application atm. SOLVIT UK didn't really reply to me until I emailed them telling them that we were contacted by the Netherlands Embassy in Pakistan. From personal experience they ...

Hello Mr Omi, any update ? Not really - We haven't heard anything back from the Netherlands Embassy in Pakistan and when tried to contact them they refused to provide any update. On the other hand, received a letter from IND Netherlands last week in response to our appeal/objection and they basical...

Hi Omi00007! Thank you for your answer. Given your experience I really appreciate hearing from you. So if you are in the UK, how do you do this? Get a photocopy of your Passport then go to a sols office and have it stamped? Then send it to be legalised / notorised or something? Thanks again. In the...

Initially once I lodged the complaint online, I received an email to sign a declaration for my personal details to be shared with EU Commission etc the next day. After that I didn't hear anything, even after sending several emails and calling the UK SOLVIT office twice a week. However, after 3 weeks...

First thing you should definitely contact SOLVIT ASAP, as they can take up to 10 weeks to help. In our case when I lodged a complaint online with SOLVIT, I submitted all the same documents that I submitted with my spouse's application. This will help them understand that you fulfilled all the requir...

In the absence of an ID card and if the EU/EEA citizen is not present in the country where the application is being lodged, I suggest a legally attested (e.g. Solicitor) copy of the EU/EEA citizen's passport should be submitted with a covering letter stating the reason why original ID/Passport wasn'...

Hi all, I've always assumed working days for this situation but it does not actually say. So just seeking to get some clarification on this. Does this mean working days? Or just calendar days? "Processing of a visa application As a general rule, a decision is taken by the Consulate within 15 d...
