As long you know the relevant regulations and provide the necessary documentation and have a bit of patience, your partner will be granted entry. or just not go at...

I don't think the intention is to keep people away. Like other sectors, the main reason for the FCO to outsource the visa process is to cut cost. Also decisions are not taken in the consulate any more but in region centres to be more efficient. You need to appreciate that EEA FP are a small fractio...

It does not seem to matter in which order the signatures are put on to the form. For my wife, when she applied back in 2004, the date order of the signatures was a referee, my wife, then the other referee. No problem, application successful. John, Which form is this?

I'm afraid you will need to wait as long as it takes from the Netherlands. Jambo, so I'm re-thinking this- I'm going back to the UK soon t...
