Lithuania became member of the Schengen area on 21 December 2007
you don't need a visa to travel internal within Schengen.

However you never know, if you are stopped and checked for some reason,
e.g. traffic police you will need proof that you are a legal resident of Spain,
and married to EU National.

Your suppose to get the resident card within 6 months(max)
after application, you really need to push it, no card after
2 years waiting is very strange


Schengen states are in dark blue

About the Residence Card, you should immediately contact Solvit. It is a free service run by the EU. You can communicate with them in any of the EU languages. 6 months is the MAXIMUM the Residence Card should take.

Do you want to visit Litunania with your wife, or move there? Either is possible and should be very easy!

The reason why it takes too long is simply because they are suspecting almost every such marriage to be bogus.
i have two options for you. 1 is there any kid for you by your Eu spouse? if yes just take your wife, kids and go to the officina de Extrajero where you submitted your application and ask for their manager then let your wife ask why your application takes so long? they may tell you they are investigating your marriage and your file has been tranfered to the immigration police to do the check, let your wife tell them with confidence that she want to see those police otherwise she is not going anywhere.
2. You can try Lithuanian Embassy for schengen visa that you are moving to Lithuania with your wife, or apply for the lithuanian resident card from the embassy if you can supply some documents they need but if you are very lucky they may give you the visa.
You can ask me anything else you may want to know. Good luck

[Directive/2004/38/EC]

Even if they suspect him of having a marriage of convenience, of being a national security risk, and having bad breath, it is still wrong and ILLEGAL to take more than 6 months. They can reject him or accept him, but they have to do it within 6 months!

You should DEFINITELY involve Solvit. And if that does not work, the contact the European Commission directly.

[El shaddai]

Everybody knows it s illegal for them to do that but they dont care, indirectly they want the OP to proof and convince them the marriage is genuine, hundreds of people are in that situation, he need to take his wife there and make some noise otherwise they will be kept in the darkness for as long as they want.

[Directive/2004/38/EC]

They do not care and will not care unless somebody challenges them.

Complaining to the European Commission is an important step. Solvit can help. Taking the wife there is also a good option, but will not help to correct the more systematic problems.

Kick up enough noise and fuss and they will notice and move their buts!
