Non eu spouce visa under eu directive

[lidia_9]

Hello everyone,
I have applied for french visa for non eu spouce visa and it is two months since i have applied, after contacting them several times just got one answer "its in processing ".
Could someone suggest whats going on? Isnt this a breach of law?

Hi,
Exactly what did you apply for, I am assuming you applied for entry/facilitating visa to come to france, as the residence card application under EU directive is usually applied to the local prefectures in france.

If it is entry visa for france you have the right to get that processed on an accelerated procedure, normally within 15 days. 2 months processing sounds really absurd. did you call the embassy? if I was you would try getting the extension number to the consular officer and ring directly. you have rights don't let them tell you otherwise.

Thanks for your kind reply.
I have been trying to contact them but whenever they answer the call (if they answer) they just say its in processing. This behaviour of embassies is really inhuman. Our travel plan is completely disregarded

Surely, since there is a right to an expedited process, there should be someone to speak to about the delay?

My wife's Dutch visa application under 2004/38/EC was forwarded to the IND in the Netherlands, and it was two months before we had received word that the visa had been refused. We have reapplied and the visa application has been forwarded yet again. What should have taken two weeks is now going to take four months (more if they find more problems with our application).

I am new here didnt knew this btw solvit i am waiting 4 weeks without results and if i call the embassy they say the case is waiting for approval from eu citizen country. as per directive nothing to investigate or an approval from eu citizen country. so they make us stupid and at the end dont want to recognise eu law for our family member in third world country.

Which country your family member applied from? Your travel plan was to travel together or joining eu citizen?

You can contact through the following:

just-citizenship@ec.europa.eu (This is the department which deals with union citizenship and free movement).

Or submit a complaint here: http://ec.europa.eu/atwork/applying-eu- ... int_en.htm

For the visa policy unit I just sent an email directly to the Commissioner Avramopoulos. You will have to search for his details online and find his team contact details so you can cc them. Usually if you cc others they will reply.

I can't really advise you on what to do because I don't know the rules of where you are. But be advised that the European Commission does not respond quickly. You may have to hire a lawyer if you want it to be dealt with as soon as possible.
