I received this email from SOLVIT earlier today: Hello Mr xxxxx I have confirmed with SOLVIT Netherlands that they had contacted the Migration Service and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about your application. A response was received confirming that it did appear that the visa should not have been ...

Hi Omi, It will be a great help if you reply. As you submitted papers stating that you will travel with your wife, does the visa has any remarks like " to accompany - your wife name" ? Reason I am asking, will you be abe to use the visa to travel just by yourself if you want in future? Th...

How long they took for the decision of your application? (your first application not the appeal) Thank you It took them 14 days in total from the day they received the application at the Embassy in Islamabad. The application was submitted at VFS centre on 13th February and the passport was ready fo...

Thanks for that link. I really appreciate. Sounds like a whole lot of hassle. I’m torn at what to do now. All my previous visas have been issued at the consulate which I prefer. Bls is probably a new invention and I just don’t have the time to go back and forth. It does seem like a hassle, however ...

Thank you for your response. Do I need to apply through BLS,. Can I not go directly to the consulate? Cheers You definitely can go to the consulate directly, however BLS is the easier option of the two from what I know. Please check this thread for one of the forum member's experience with regards ...

Hello Mods, Or anybody that can help me. I am married to a BC and have been to Spain a gazillion times on tourist visa. I never understood that I could apply as a spouse maybe because the first time I went I applied as a single person so I have just always applied on my own recognisance. We want to...

Appeal process is really straight forward, we just sent a letter stating that we believe we had provided sufficient evidence and pointed out to the documents we submitted with our original application and also attached copies of the same documents with the appeal letter. I wrote another letter stat...

@Caravel88 Thank you, mate. Appeal process is really straight forward, we just sent a letter stating that we believe we had provided sufficient evidence and pointed out to the documents we submitted with our original application and also attached copies of the same documents with the appeal letter. ...

Good news - We received a call from The Netherlands Embassy in Pakistan earlier today and they have asked us to re-submit the passport, new flight booking, hotel booking and updated Travel Insurance to reflect our new travel dates by Friday (30th March) at the VFS centre in Karachi. They didn't ask ...

No news, as yet. SOLVIT won't reply to my emails and won't answer their phone. Submitted the appeal to IND last week and will probably need to wait for few months to hear back from them. I just read this thread and I am curious. How is everything? What happened? @philip28 Thank you for kind words an...

@philip28 Thank you for kind words and support. With regards to the appeal, I understand it will take long time to even get a response from IND, however, I would just like to cover all my basis. At this moment in time I can only wait patiently for either Solvit or IND to respond. My spouse contacted...

this is insane. have you tried calling / emailing the consulate? and also reporting this to solvit? makes no sense whatsoever. I have reported it to Solvit and only contact I have had with them was to sign a standard information disclosure form and haven't had any reply from them since. I haven't c...

@Compi - Thank you for your reply. I am worried that the rejection from Netherlands might mean we also get an automatic rejection from Sweden. We applied for Netherlands because we really wanted to visit Netherlands for 8 days and not because we thought we will get visa from there easily. It's just ...

We applied from Pakistan and yes, we had return tickets. I am not sure how living circumstances are relevant to this but yes we live together. No previous visa rejection(s) for any countries.

Hi all, I am a British citizen and I applied for a Schengen visa for my non-EU spouse for Netherlands on 13/02/2018. We received a rejection on 26/02/2018. Reason for rejection on the letter: Sufficient justification for the purpose and circumstances of the intended stay was not provided. You stated...
