Univas, that is great news. Can you please advise how you completed your form to obtain a year long Schengen visa, as I have never been given a Schengen visa longer than my intended visit. And which embassy / consulate provided the visa? Thank you.
Directive, we bought an apartment in Spain, the area is beautiful, and the climate is perfect for a little African flower that really needs the sun... Flights are reasonably priced to allow for a quick getaway, especially when the clocks fall back, and one needs a boost of Vitamin D
Oh, Directive, that was a very stressful arrival in Alicante... firstly, we got held up in traffic on the way to Gatwick, and only just caught our flight, so far, so good. Arrival at Alicante Airport, at about 11:30pm, and we were strolling along, towards the only IO, (may have been just a security ...
Thank you, Directive. I am travelling with my EU spouse, but my Zimbabwean marriage certificate has been said to be 'invalid', as it is not European, does not have an Apostille, and as one IO in Spain told me late one evening when we arrived 'no valido, muito veijo', it is very old... I didn't reali...
Hello everyone... Finally got my PR after reconsideration, following a refusal on the basis that I had not provided sufficient evidence of EU spouse exercising treaty rights. This was issued on an A4 sheet of paper 'Immigration Status Document', and does not state anything about being a family membe...
Thanks Jambo, I will let her know that tomorrow, she seemed surprised when I told her I had paid £140, definitely don't want to do that twice, as the Appeals page on UKBA says no refund unless payment was taken in error.
Could this be based on an erroneous decision in the first place? Is it possible that UKBA could be reprimanded by the 'powers that be' in a case like this?
Has anyone else been in the situation where the caseworker has requested withdrawal of an appeal, while reconsidering a refusal?
Hi Everyone An interesting little development on my case, I would appreciate any thoughts. I submitted my appeal following the refusal of my PR, and at the same time, I sent in loads of supporting documents to prove my husband's exercising of treaty rights as self employed. These were bank statement...
Hello everyone. My personal, and recent experience (last week to be exact), is that the airlines will not allow you to board without either a Schengen Visa or a Residence Card. The lovely lady at the Easyjet counter said 'if you can get the embassy to issue a Schengen Visa, then you can travel, othe...
We are booked with Easyjet. It's starting to look worse and worse... Thankfully, I work for a company that understands the regs, but the travel side is not looking great. As the COA has technically been invalidated by the refusal, I'm guessing the much needed holiday (I NEED the sun!) is going to be...
Jambo, thank you for your reply. The fact is that I am a visa national, Zimbabwean, and my RC 'expired' on 1 September 2013. I guess I'm between a rock and a hard place with this one. Reading and dissecting the regulations, and the Home Office Immigration Directorate's Instructions, regarding EEA na...
Hello everyone ... I have been following all the EEA4 discussion (and previously EEA2). I am most grateful to all the contributors for educating and encouraging those applying and waiting. My situation is that I am the non EEA spouse of an EU national, we have been married for 27 years, and I applie...
