he checked ur fingerprints cause u prob looked dodgy to him.and.he checked if u exist in their database.

"how do u know my family member is a wife? it could be a civil partnership or i could be an extended family member of my ...

i wonder why u simply did not refuse to.amswer such intrusive questions! u should have asked him what difference would any of my amswers make and what would he do if u didn't answer? obviously, it is a good idea to print out the 5.2-5.3 and shove it in the IOs face without saying a word. should he ...

they give different remarks in different visa like my two hungarian visas have remarks egyeb means miscellaneous and then INSURANCE not REQUIRED and two has tourist french one has something family eu national written etc but i had travelled alone with it so its fine if you have valid visa and you ca...

ps.. i have had german visa saying family member of eu/eea national in german language and i traveled to hungary without my wife. i had no problem with it just ip asked me my return ticket which i showed him.

as long as you have a valid visa and documents needed for a visitor , you will be fine.

no there won't be any problems if you go alone as long as you have a valid schengen visa on your passport. you will only face problem if you arrive in the border without your spouse or without any intention to join her in that country IF YOU SHOW YOUR RC document to the io. But if you have a valid s...

TMost countries have passport scanners relayed to a database. If John Smith, DOB 26/3/1962, POB Rio de Janeiro, is already in the database as a Brazilian, this will automatically be pulled up if the same details later score a hit as a US citizen. . oh ayee its true my wife and I travelled to frence...

I have a British passport but it was issued in Brazil. When someone knows I am British but asks for the country where my British passport was issued, I state Brazil. If, however, someone does not know my nationality and asks for the country of issue of my passport, I say UK. so does this make any d...

The question is asking in which country was the passport issued. You can't answer Birmingham as that is not a country. Therefore you must state the name of country in which Birmingham is located. Why is this so difficult for you? Like I mentioned above that it could be the UK or India as it was iss...

Last time i checked it was in the UK. why? Because, that will be the answer to the question you have asked. no sir, it might not be.. as the area where embassy is standing belongs to it's country. if they would have me the place of issue i would have said birmingham but now its country so it can be...
