FRENCH SCHENGHEN VISA REFUSAL

[CheGuevara]

I am a permanent resident of an EU Country based on the directive 2004/38/EC

My French Schenghen visa application was rejected on the basis that "YOUR INTENTION TO LEAVE THE TERRITORY OF THE MEMBER STATE BEFORE THE EXPIRY OF THE VISA COULD NOT BE ASCERTAINED"

I applied from Nigeria were i am currently doing a six month contract.

I submitted the following-

• Hotel Accommodation Reservation For Two Adults
• Travel Insurance.
• My Air Flight Ticket Reservation
• My Wife's Air Flight Ticket Reservation
• Copies of my wife's UK passport
• My original passport
• letter approving my wife's permanent residency based on the Directive 2004/38/EC
• letter approving my permanent residency based on the Directive 2004/38/EC
• My marriage certificate.
• Copy of My permanent residency card.

The Visa Officer refused to follow his/her own Schengen visa guidelines which clearly states that as a family member of EU Citizen that I do not have to answer questions 19, 20, 31, 32, 33 of the Schengen application form..

Any suggestions please

SOLVIT are the best of the best, got the visa decision overturned in less than two months and now they are given me a 3 year schengen visa but does anyone know how I can make a claim against these incompetent idiots at the embassy, they have cost me quite a bit of money.
