Note that she should be very clear, in writing, that she is the spouse of an EU citizen who she will be travelling with or joining.

Marhaba!

I guess you would need evidence of his dependency on you, including Financially. Do you have any evidence of this?

Well, according to our caseworker, who was dealing with our application under the Directive 2004/38/EC we do not actually require a insurance for our stay in Europe, though you might not be applying under this ruling. We provided proof of insurance anyway, from Lloyds TSB Bank, with whom I had a Gol...

Your husband will need to have a visa to get on a plane. The question is simply where will you be flying to, and therefore which visa you will want to apply for. What I was thinking was, to fly with Emirates, because they have a stopover transit in Dubai. Getting a visa for my husband to Dubai is a...

Thank you so much for your advise. This is what I am worried about. I dont want to see my husband being detained at the French border, I wouldn't even know who to call or what to do... I think id need to research on French based EU Immigration rights institutions in France before we leave. Yes, I h...

We have tried for a french schengan entry visa since July 2011 and my husband does not want to go through the whole embassy process again... which in Pakistan is time costing, tiring and requires time off work and long distance travel... my husband has been put under a lot of hardship by the French...

OP, do not be dismayed yet, you will eventually get your husband a schengen visa, It wouldn't matter which country understand the directive more once you try to get to the border. personally as hard head as I am I would prefer a country which doesn't understand the directive once i get to their bor...

Thank you Emillie :) Just throwing this one out there, but what do you think of the liklihood that he could be held/detained in France at the border there? I know I am being unrealistic and the chances of this are slim, but I want to be prepared for the worst case scenario - being a Pakistani in tod...

Thank you for the update and the story. Yes, you were documented, and you should not have had an issue anyway Glad it went well for you!

Thanks Emillie, Yes this is what I am worried about - the Boarding of the flight. From Pakistan to Dubai, we shouldnt have an issue, because he will have a visit Visa for the UAE. I spoke to the local Emirates office here in Pakistan and I mentioned to them an EU Regulation, which allows Pakistani p...

Oh thats great! Thanks so much for the link

Thanks so much to both of you :) I have another question. We have the third application in for the French entry visa and its still being processed. If, again, they reject the application, I am thinking of just giving up - ill get my husband to pack his bags and we will travel together from Pakistan ...

Definitely not UKBA. It is not their issue. Keep at them, someone will listen eventually. Have you tried your Euro MP? I got the Euro MP's involved last year. No use. The one that did reply said the same as she is saying at SOLVIT, I have to already have exercised my treaty rights to freedom of mov...

Emillie, Thank you so much for your encouragement, and I must say, thank you so much for your contribution to this forum :) Do you think its worth sending a complaint to the UKBA about her? I don't think she is employed by them or has anything to do with them, so I am not sure its worth it. I think ...

Ive been looking at this document, which discusses the implications of the Metock case on UK rules, in regards to family members and the EEA Spouses. The Document is here: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:M2oqxQtimzgJ:www.parliament.uk/briefing-papers/SN04900.pdf+&hl=en&gl=pk&a...

Oh, ive done that many months ago. This was her response: "Good afternoon [name removed] As I am Head of the UK SOLVIT team, you can make a complaint about me to BIS complaints, http://www.bis.gov.uk/contact/complaints Regards [Name removed] UK SOLVIT Centre There is not a 'team' of UK SOLVIT, ...

Thanks so much, Emillie for the reply :) I have been dealing with the UK SOLVIT 'team' on and off since July 2011, when my husband first attempted to get an entry visa into France. She has been having a laugh since then. One minute she thinks our marriage is not valid, even though the French Embassy...

I would be interested to know what the outcome of this journey was. What happened when you arrived in France without a visa? I am assuming you are a non-EU Citizen. Do you have a UK Visa? You do not mention what your status in the UK is. If you do not have status in the UK, I would assume they would...

Hi All, Some here know about my case, with my Husband in Pakistan attempting to obtain a Schengan entry visa for France, from the French Embassy, Islamabad. His last application was rejected based on Article 32, point 2 of the Visa Code, which does not apply to us. An appeal has been posted to them ...

Have you gone through the french law here http://eumovement.wordpress.com/eu-countries/info-france/ Also, have you looked through the Schengen documents that both EUsmileWEallsmile and I pointed you to? You might find it more useful to quote from those in addition to the Directive itself. Yes, the ...

Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Is that your new cover letter or the one for the recent refusal?

The one I submitted with the application that resulted in a refusal

What exactly was submitted with the first application? A simple Schengen application form with the (*)ed questions not answered? Was there a cover letter, and what did it say? Yes, I wrote a cover letter and husband filled out the visa application form, leaving out the parts with the (*). This is w...

As some know, my husband visa was refused, by the French Embassy in Islamabad which was applied for under the Directive 2004/38/EC. It was refused on the grounds of article 32 (ii) “The purpose and the conditions of the proposed visit have not been justified” (Visa Code, Resolution (EC) No. 810/200...
