cheeka, how on earth would a letter prove anything? for all they know, she could have written, signed and dated it herself. If you are getting at the point that the border guards can pick on someone, they certainly can, but unless they have reasons to doubt that she still falls under the category o...

My husband was stopped twice by the border staff when we travelled together. We twice had to show our marriage certificate , and the second guard did not know we were travelling together and told my husband that he needed a "letter" to travel with , the schengen visa was not enough on its ...

bottom line, if your wife gets a visa, that's it, don't worry about anything else, speaking from practice, NOONE EVER asks whether the visa was issued and applicant still eligible. No letter etc, visa is enough, don't overcomplicate. A visa is not enough to travel with...... Speaking from previous ...

If you are an EU national but your family members are not, they can accompany or join you in another EU country.

I really have no clue...... They should have only taken it quick to put the visa on it......

Thanks for that information.[/quote]

welcome, keep you marriage certificate with your passport when travelling together, save you digging about in the suitcases for it.

I re read your post and I see a future potential problem. Once you have your Schengen visa , you then need to leave the country together Yes our intention is to travel from Greece together, which will hopefully make things much simpler. Sorry I was not clearer . A Schengen visa is NOT like other vi...

I re read your post and I see a future potential problem. Once you have your Schengen visa , you then need to leave the country together , or you need to get a letter from the local marie in France to prove that you are residing in France , a letter of invitation if you like. Your wife cannot travel...

I applied at the French consulate abroad for a schengen visa . Your main journey is there , you should apply there , they know the law there , seems like the greeks dont know much there . For a schengen visa you need passport and marriage certificate. Ask the British consulate for an attestation tha...

I also wanted to know about EEA Family Permit. Is it good to state in the application that the couple (who will be traveling) will be working to save and finally be retiring outside UK. The EEA family permit requires no proof of income . You do not have to give them financial details. The more info...

Sorry I cannot be of much help with your situation I do not know lots about this but did you apply inside Argentina ? Would it make any difference if you applied from a European country ? I know it should not make any difference but it might, you might get another more sympathetic officer (lol "...

they are legally required to give you an NI number

would love to hear know what my chances are. . You have the right to work , the NI is only a number for paying contributions , if they do not give you one , then you cannot pay the tax contributions. It is just a formality , if you never applied , they would have given you one as soon as you starte...

Do you really expect me to comment on what the Scottish police call themselves ,if you really want an answer , ask them.

I never once asked about his ability to apply for a spouse visa inside the UK . My question was only what would have to happen after the marriage for him to get papers (generic term) , you mentioned spouse visa, not me.

Thank you casa , you made that much clearer , we use the term "the plod" (among others) quite commonly in Scotland , maybe it is a regional difference.

Thank you for all your time and help

I am a reasonable person and I do not agree with you .

You are entitled to your opinion , I asked for advice and I did not expect to come here and get a character assasination.

Thanks for all your time and help

Thank you for your reply . I can assure you I have not missed any point, maybe you have. When I was asking about " papers " , I was talking about residence cards , permits or whatever you want to call them. I am British currently residing in France with a Moroccan husband , who has "p...

Thank you for your reply , I understand that this could happen , and there is an age difference , but as it is a genuine relationship and a genuine marriage I don't expect her to have too many problems in that respect. I am unsure if the onus is on the plod to prove a sham marriage or on her to prov...
