Congratulations!
What evidence did you post for his application. Hubby is due to apply for ILR in June.

Congrats, know that amazing feeling.

I hope you have a wonderful life together x

don't want to get your hopes up, but sounds exactly the same as when hubby got his spouse visa.
He dropped his passport in the morning and went back in the afternoon and collected his visa and passport. He was then on the 1st flight he could get back to the UK.
Can't wait to hear ur good news.

He only got the visa for one month. We were hoping it would be for longer.

We provided all the holiday booking/flight information and insurance, but the lady rudely said we didn't need to provide all of that!

My hubby got his schengen visa for 1 month to go to Spain. Would we be able to go to France for the day with this visa? I must say the Spanish Embassy was a nightmare and the staff were very rude. They kept him waiting for 2 hours in the corridor to collect the visa!! He felt that they could not fin...

First of all congratulations!

Could you share with us what evidence you provided? Did you have all things in joint names?
Just preparing for husbands ILR in 2009 and any suggestions/experiences are really helpful and positive.

There is currently no time limit on the test.
My husband took it for the 1st time on Monday and passed, he will be applying for ILR in July 2009.

hope that helps

Thanks for everyones input, seems like I have opened a can of worms...

We have booked the holdiay and we are going to be making an appointment at the embassy, asap.

Is there a time limit on when u can get the visa before travelling?

Can we get a schengen from a different embassy than the country we are visiting?

appreciate everyones help

I am not getting very far with the embassy phone line. And at £1 a minute all I am getting is an automated voice!!
It would be so much easier with just the EU dependent requirements, are u sure?

Does any have experience with Spanish embassy and schengen visas for spouses of UK citizens?

Would my husband have to match the documentations requested for a dependent of an EU national and also Tourist visa application. What I am really trying to clarify is do we need to book the holiday before we make the schengen application so we can show proof of dates/location of holiday? I am concer...

Thanks for the link, a real help.

Do these rules/requirements apply to all schengen countries?

Can anyone tell me how to get a schengen visa for my husband who is currently in the UK on a spouse visa for 2 years. He is Albanian. We would really like to go to Spain for a week. I understand you need to make an appointment at the Spaninsh embassy but what documents do we need to provide them,. W...

Can anyone suggest a solictior/legal service that can check my husbands ILR application evidence?
Just planning ahead.

Thanks John that has really help reassure me about bills etc. in joint names.
Do you think reading my first message that I will have enough suitable evidence in 2 years?

The marriage certificate from Albania is in many languages including English.

Thanks for that, some of the bills are already coming addressed to me (Mrs **** and his surname) with his surname so that is good and all the correspondences are addressed to the same address. I also have a support worker - do you think its worth them writing something? Do you know where I could get...

Hello I got married to my Albanian fiance 6 months ago and we are now living happily in UK with him on a 2 year spouse visa. We recently read through the SETM application form and started to create a folder with evidence. I know a while off but thought it was best to start now. Since being in the UK...
