Hi, any update?

hi lidia
visa is refused after 80 days and the reason given nr.8 of the refusal form. appeal can be written only in French so i think its end of the story and no help from this forum also.

The controlling reference point for all Schengen applications is the Schengen Visa Code.

8. The information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not reliable.

• You have made contradictory statements on the purpose of stay.

That's odd. They apparently gave No 8 as the reason?

yes it is and they couldnt find anything after 3 months so just cross nr.8 and remarks documents presented could not be authentified by dutch authorities.
all of our documents was legalized and authenticated even our marriage was registered by dutch govt.
so its make clear they dont let you exercise the treaty rights.

[quote="lidia_9"]Did you legalised your marriage certificate from NL Embassy?
yes all legalized
what is your last update ????

I guess you applied for the wrong visa.
Normally you should mark other in field 21 of the schengen application form and write family member eu.

I did it exactly what you stated

[mgb]

In such a case the refusal is illegal.
Nr. 8 is not a valid reason to deny a visa for the family memer of a eu citizen.
If you want you can file a complaint to the eu commission. The problem is it can take up to 6 month.

hi mgb please advice after refusal i made a new complaint by solvit and earlier before refusal by eu commission. can i apply again the same visa by french embassy or better to wait of outcome solvit and eu commision. it takes one month to get a appointment by french embassy. kindly your advice

[mgb]

You could plan to fly via a other schengen country and apply there.

[Ahmshea]

this will be refused again coz they will see the earlier refusal

[lidia_9]

Why you made new complaint with solvit? You couldn't update old complaint?

[Ahmshea]

Why you made new complaint with solvit? You couldn't update old complaint?

please dont expect anything from solvit. they send me email stating

The French embassy was asked to send a new request the NL authority to have the confirmation that the document is authentic. As soon as they get it, the visa will be issued.’’

this is there findings and they close the file i ask them not to close because i didnt had any msg from embassy.

two days later french embassy call her to pick up the passport with refusal.
they are just pissing on directives and dont care about anything.

[lidia_9]

But you updated them with the outcome or not?

[Ahmshea]

But you updated them with the outcome or not?

yes the refusal with new complaint but no answer yet.
please update your story if there any progress

[lidia_9]
