HI all thanks for the replies

The updateis that husband had his appointment this morning, which I obtained after contacting the French embassy in London about the issue. They have taken in his passport and other documents and fingerprints. Now its a case of waiting for the visa, they certainly have no grounds for rejection, so just waiting now

Just goes to show that one shouldn't give up and take no for an answer. Good idea involving the French in the UK - very inventive!

Hope it works out for you.

Thanks, Emilie (I know thats not your name, but thats what I read, when i see your username!) Yes, a friend suggested I contact the French embassy in London and it seems to have worked wonders!

They probably have an internal messaging system, where the french, at the embassy in Pakistan, and not locals, have access to them

Just to let everyone know.... In this case eventually I had traveled to Pakistan and confronted Gerrys myself. I gave them the low down on the Directive, was apologized to and Gerrys 'area manager' made sure my husband got to the embassy. After our case, Gerrys circulated a memo about the Directive 2004/38/ec to all their staff across the country.... So now there *should* be no problem for Brits' Pakistani spouses getting an appointment. Gerrys only listened after I had a heated convo (email convo) with french embassy, who then *disciplined* Gerrys and forced themn to takeur case... And start accepting these types of applications.

Never knew SRAQAI anywhere else but here.

You only need to look back a bit to see why we're both on here.

SRAQAI- I do not have any link to Pakistan
