Schengen visa appointment at French Embassy

[Plum70]

Hello guys,

I need some advice from any non EEA spouse who has attended a Schengen visa interview at the French Embassy.

I am a non-EEA visa national married to a Swiss National, my hubby and I plan on spending a few days in Paris over the xmas period. My understanding of the schengen visa application process (based on the french embassy site info and that on the schengen application forms) is that the supporting documents required are:

My and my husband's passport (original and copy)
Our marriage certificate (original and copy)
My passport pics

The embassy also advises applicants not to book trips until the visa is granted. The application forms also exclude non EU/EEA spouses from filling certain fields (like employment details, means of support...)

Has anyone had any experience of a contrary process once at the interview?
