Urgent Help

Well I just got an email from the Portuguessr Embassy in Jakarta seeming to say that they dont accept eea applications if the wedding was celebrated in the Phils only if i was married in a member state

I dont believe this is right any more than the rest of the nonsence ive had but im seeing my lawer on monday and what i need is any links to european law on the right to family life and any cases that were tried and where the right was established

It would be good to have cases like Dom where he as a italien got this visa i would also like to make contact with john car on the other site as i believe he did this to spain my lawer isnt an expert but any help i/we can give her would be much appreciated

thanks dom dont grt the one year bit though

Necessary documents for family members

Valid identity card or passport;
A document proving the family relationship or quality as partner, if
this relation or quality is not evident from the valid identity card
or passport;
A certificate of registration of the accompanied person;
Documental proof that he/she is dependant (only in case of direct
descendants over the age of 21 or direct ascendants);
In cases laid down in n. 2 of article 3 of Act 37/2006 of 9 August
(other family members) a document issued by the proper authority
from the country of origin or provenance, certifying that he/she is
dependant of the accompanied person, or proving that there are
serious health reasons requiring imperatively the personal
assistance by the accompanied person.

Family members of third country nationals

Portuguese law recognises that any national who holds a valid residence
permit is entitled to family reunion with family members living abroad,
provided that they have lived with him in another country, or that they
are his dependants, or that they are living with him, whether the bonds
were formed prior to or subsequent to the entry of the resident into
Portugal.

For the purpose of family reunion, the law regards the following as
family members:

Keith, sorry I'm not able to help you. I have no experience at all about immigration outside of UK and I have no contacts to ask.
I'll look through some Euro Law and see if there is anything additional to what has already been posted.

To be honest I was expecting it would be easy.

If you really feel you are hitting a 'brick wall' you might try looking here at SOLVIT

Keith,
I did some further digging for the original documentation and wording on the EU law and I believe this is the EU 'Law' / EU 'Directive' you may be looking for:-

DIRECTIVE 2004/38/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 29 April 2004
on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States....

I hope this will help. If it's not what you want just say. I'll look again.

Happy reading (actually it's not too bad, and it's in an easily understandable format)

Brilliant Peter just what i needed

My consular official has said they will issue a "family tourist visa "(shengan) which means i shall have to purchase refundable singles to show a return date for the airlines and initial arrival point in the shengan area ,as well as travel insurance for the visa validity in addition i dont know yet if they will want visa application fees of around 200 euros so ive told my lawer after they arrive i want compensation for all additional expence including hers from the Portuguesse government they are just incompetent buggers

Below the most recent I have removed the name of the guilty

Dear Mr. KeithAngel

Thanks for the communication and as you already understand, the application visa for your family has been processed, as a normal- tourist visa.
The Consular Section is handling your family application VISA with more priority.

Best regards,

BOM DIA MR- KeithAngel

About the result of the meeting, I prefer to say consultation with the
Consul-Encarregado de Secção Consular, this is the RESULT OF THE
CONSULTATION :
I was told to inform to you that : - THE LEGAL REGIM IS APPLICABLE TO
MARRIAGES INTEGRATED IN THE LEGAL ORDER OF A MEMBER -SATATE OF THE EUROPEAN
UNION.


Translalated from :
" PARA BENEFICIAR DO REGIME LEGAL QUE INVOCA, O CASAMENTO DEVE ESTAR
INTEGRADO NA ORDEM JURÍDICA DE UM ESTADO -MEMBRO DA UNIÃO EUROPEIA, NÃO
BASTANDO UM CASAMENTO CELEBRADO NAS FILIPINAS"

Best regards,
