Dear Sir or Madam,
We would like to inform you that for the visa type Visiting a relative who is an E.U citizen or E.U. citizen's spouse, relatives include: a spouse, direct descendant under 21 years old, financially dependent descendant, and direct ascendants who are financially dependent of a EU citizen. It means,Child (under 21 years old )of Eu citizen or Spouse of EU Citizen. And Ascendant of Eu Citizen (Mother, Father) of EU citizen or Spouse of EU citizen. If your son (direct descendant) is over 21 years old, the visa type should be "Family visit", he is not anymore Descendant of Spouse of Eu citizen.
Best regards,
TLSContact Visas Center
My points with the last paragraph were to point out that according to TLS there was no possibility that anyone over 21 could be covered by the directive, indeed they refused to even look the paperwork say he was a student. The other point was that as we were applying as EU family even if we had the wrong paper work they should have helped us to provide what was necessary ( telling us what was required would have been a great help) rather than just rejecting the application. Of course if they did wrongly assume that all people over 21 were ineligible then they would not need to do this.Indeed and my wife had brought a copy of my Stepson's university card to show he was at university and therefore not working and able to support himself.
If this is not acceptable proof of his dependant status could you please provide me with a list of documents that are ?
My point was that TLS and the list they provided do not appear to accept the possibility that a dependant may, in fact, be over 21. if so, this is clearly in contravention of Directive 2004/38/EC. I would also like to point out that as my family member he has the right to have every facility to obtain the necessary visas.
To which I have replied and not yet received an answeryour step-son only put a letter from you letting us know that you will be responsible for all the expenses during his trip in Europe. A copy of an university card is not enough either. We advise you for the next application to show that his mother send him money every month (since he has turned 21) in order to pay his rent, food, transportation, etc
He lives with his mother, so she does not send him money each month, just gives cash as he needs it - so what do you suggest in this situation, which must be quite common?
This is pretty much what I provided the first time and they rejected !The application of your stepson will be considering as a Family Member of EU Citizen, if he presents in his new file, a letter from you, confirming that
- You are not a student in France
-You are able to assume all expense for all needs for your stepson, including a Social Security cover.
Is all this in the passport or was there an accompanying leaflet perhaps?tebee wrote:Well to continue this minor saga.
Solvit refused to continue to assist, once I said I had submitted another application. They say the will only help with current problems, not past ones.
He now has a multi entry Schengen EU family visa, but only for 15 days and only from 1st March to 1st April, unlike his mother who has 90 days in the next 6 months.
But - on the page opposite the visa there is a warning which states "in addition to a valid passport with visa every foreigner, when entering france should be in a position to produce the following documents :"
The list includes:
Motive of stay in France, in this case - Attestation d'accueil
Means of living
return ticket
None of this should apply to him, and he won't have the first one.
Is this something we should complain to Solvit about ?
