Hi bobby1987,

welcome to the forum

In order to be able to help, you´ll have to answer some questions:

• Who is "we"?
• What´s your nationality?
• What´s the 2nd person's nationality?
• Where are you now?
• What´s your status where you are now?
• You got the mentioned appointment where?

Basically, read this first:

1. Me and my british partner, i'm a filipino citizen and a spouse visa cardholder. I've been here in Uk since 2009. We booked an appointment at VFS global. but unfortunately they gave appointment 1 week before we fly off. so it's a hopeless case now really, please what to do now?

I would do the following:

1. If you can´t get the visa it in time, try to >>travel without visa<<

2. Try to get the visa anyway.

3. Why not try via one of the smaller Schengen-Embassies? Austria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg? As the spouse of an EU-citizen you don´t have to provide any papers, just your passports and the marriage-certificate. And this will equally take you into Spain.

I don´t see why you shouldn´t be travelling...

Can i try different embassies to apply for a visa to spain? Is that possible?

[bobby1987]

I managed to get an appointment on Tuesday(23th Aug) for my spanish tourist visa.exactly 2 weeks before our holiday. Is there any possible chance to get my visa in time of our holiday or earlier?(due to fly on 13th of september)

Im a filipino citizen, married to a british citizen. Got spouse visa
Anyone?

I guess it´s possible to get as many appointments as you want, however I would STRONGLY advise to lodge only ONE application.

If you are married to an EU-national the visa is a formality, and 2 weeks should be OK.

Bear with any unpredictable idiots working in the embassies though, who might not properly understand their business...

Usually your order should be: 1. visa - 2. booking

[bobby1987]

i submitted all my documents this morning,and i was told 4 weeks is the minimum time to release the visa but there are some earlier than 4 weeks.but hopefully, i can get them back in time of my holiday.i dont want to miss our flight.

Is there anybody here that has same experience?

[bobby1987]

and the lady next to me, advised that if i haven't received my visa in 2 weeks i can go straight to spanish consulate one day before we fly off to collect my visa. is this possible? very risky but it might work. what dya say guys?

[ca.funke]

...what dya say guys?

I´d say stick to >>this<< and next time

...your order should be: 1. visa - 2. booking
