Hi All,
My wife is on here but she seems to complicate things. She had a meeting today with an immigration lawyer after we applied for the wrong visa and we were unsure which route to take.
We were planning to apply for the EEA Family Permit however the immigration lawyer said to forget about it as it will just delay things as they currently have very long delays and tend to deny people for no reason. My wife is German and has been living and working in the UK for over 10years. We are married and she is coming to Jamaica in June. So the lawyer gave us two options.
1) Book a flight on the same flight as her return flight to the uk and enter here with the EEA dependant ink stamp.
However I am worried they won't even let me on the plane in Jamaica without a Visa no matter what I tell them.
2) Apply for a new Schengen Visa and fly to Germany where my wife will meet me and we enter from there into the UK with the same stamp.
As we are already in europe the lawyer thinks it will be easier to get on the plane as they know the rules however we would need to apply for the visa, i would also need to show a return flight to jamaica if I want the visa and on top she needs to fly in and out of germany and fly me into the UK. This just all sounds very complicated and expensive.
Can someone advise?

As a family member you don’t need a return flight for a Schengen visa application.

Is this the 'wife'??
Both usernames are posting from the UK from the same static IP address and not from one in Jamaica??
