NOTHING to PAY - SCHENGEN VISA (Spouse of an EU Citizen)

[jlags90]

Hi there,

Congratulations to all who have succeeded in getting their visas. I had been following this thread for sometime as it is very informative. We went to try to get our Schengen visa today for France from TLS contact but were not able to because they would not accept our marriage contract because it was not clear. This is how they are in the Philippines. The marriage contract had been notarised by the Philippines Embassy here in London and also notarised by the NSO in the Philippines. This very same marriage contract was used for our spouse visa and Indefinite Leave to Remain.

We went to the Philippines Embassy in London straight after to see what we could do, it seems the only thing we can do is either go back to the NSO in the Philippines and get this fixed or wait for Citizenship next year. Don't want to put a downer on the thread but just highlight there can be problems even if you think everything is straightforward.

Sorry to hear that Steve. I apologise for forgetting to highlight that all visa applications are considered on a case to case basis.

No worries Jlags, you don't have to apologise. Like every visa process it's judged by case by case basis.
