Ok so here is the link to my previous post explaining the situation:

Quick summary:
UK citizen husband working in France self-employed
Albanian citizen wife living together in France.
Applying under Surinder Singh route.
My wife and I picked up her refusal today and the reason was given that they believe her passport has been tampered with. They say a chemical was used to try to remove her Schengen visa for reasons unknown and so based on this they sent her passport back to Albania. I was there when we received the Schengen visa from the Greek embassy in Albania last summer and I know for a fact that neither of us ever tampered with it. What do we do?!!?!
I have no idea why they think we would want to remove a Schengen visa which proved entry but that is what they said.
Now what do we do? An appeal takes too long right? And since she is without a passport now the appeal probably would not help?
