Schengen Visa for the Filipina wife

[ginapeterb]

I also wanted to add that, Gina did not come out of the Embassy with her Schengen visa, the process inside, was like this,

The 60 or so applicants on the group booking sit and wait in line downstairs to be called, she sat for 1.5 hours, waiting, then was called, and her marriage cert and passport and my passport were scanned and photocopied, she was .......ed for not having photo copies of everything including the passports, and application form and marriage cert, so i suggest anyone who goes, needs to do this.

Although they .......ed her for this, the guy did photocopy them, grumpy french git !, after that, she was told the application will be checked with French Security and Interpol, once enquiries were completed, she would be sent a letter asking her to come back and collect her visa, she was issued with a hat check ticket, and told to leave it in her passport, until she comes back, it should be in 4 weeks.

Hope this helps, suggest also, on the 2nd visit, that the hubby doesnt bother going, its a waste of time, and no where for him to go.

What a bummer, just like Brit EMbassy Manila.

Nope. I&#39;ve done my share of grovelling, worrying and kow towing (sp?) to embassy prima donnas. If my wife or I need a visa for somewhere, we&#39;ll just go somewhere else in future. I don&#39;t see why we should be treated like small children, scolded and penalised for not understanding the petty and pitiful small print on visa applications and massively overcomplex and contradictory embassy websites.

My wife has Brit nationality now, so does our daughter, so we&#39;ll just go to places that accept the master race with no visa required
