i met my albanian husband in 2003(im british) and was with him a year before he was deported(his asylum was refused) we then married in tirana in 2005.
i have now been living with him in greece for a year which makes it very hard for me to be his sole sponsor! but my mum is quite willing to be his sponsor IF ITS POSSIBLE.................. we have been together now for 4 and half yrs
me and my husband went to british embassy in athens(as my husband has residency permit for greece) 26th novermber for an interview type thing which we booked online,after 4 hours of waiting they said we needed our marriage cert certified by albanian embassy,ok we did that but by the time we got back to british embassy THEY WERE CLOSED
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
so we were informed the next day that he should book another appointment for 29th november,which he did.he also attended this appoinment for 29th alone as i have had to come back to england for medical reasons which i have no control over.
so................ he went up to the visa section and was called up.
next thing the woman was telling him that the eco doesnt need to see anything like photos,my mums bank statements etc,um hello she is going to be accomodating us for a while until we find something of our own.
my husband has now been told he must wait for a phonecall so he can be interviewed properly at a later date,maybe days,weeks or months???
ALSO THEY HAVE TAKEN HIS PASSPORT and said once hes had the new interview he will recieve his passport.
if anybody has any info for me i would be very grateful,im goin absolutely mad here and I AM NOT EVEN GONNA TRY CALLING THE EMBASSY YET AGAIN!
is there any similar situations? i would like to hear from anyone who can help.
also if anybody has any ideas on the waiting times for interviews and visas after that?
