My husband and I have, for many months, been very frustrated. Because I am a European citizen and he is a non-European citizen. And now days, its so difficult to be united when you are apart. Immigration laws in Schengen area are tighter and tighter.
Personally I think its so unfair, that specific individuals can travel around the world. When they feel for it. And some others are sitting like a bird in his cage, waiting to be able to fly out. And sometimes this cage never opens - because there is some circumstance who keeps the door locked.
People, who try to get another life from third world countries, fails like everyone else. Maybe they dont even know they have been failing. Before its too late. Its like a holiday, when you, by the way, have the privilege to hold an EU passport. Maybe you enjoy it so much, and you want to stay a few days or a week more or yeah "you have things to do before you go home". In cases like this, the cage will probably be closed for a long period, maybe forever. If you are a non-EU citizen and have a dream to live in Europe. But the truth is, that you actually only are allowed to fail if you have one of the worlds most powerful passports.
Third world people are registered in SIS II or The National List Of Undesirable Foreigner - if the inner bird feels like to be free a little more. And this stamps - can destroy many plans in the future. Even in the special types on VISA, like Directive 2004/38.
My husband and I have, on our way, searched answers in special Immigration Groups like this one. Sometimes answers like this: "its unlikely that you can grant a visa in circumstances like this" can be very depressing. And answers like this can make you feel down. Maybe some people have been giving up before they even started the proces - because the answers here where negative.
This is not a criticism - but try to be critic when you are searching advises in immigration forums. People here are not immigrations laywers. People here are "only" amateurs.
My husband and I just granted a visa. Despite people here - and other forums - told us it was unlikely.
