Hi So what about if the non eu spouse doesn’t have a residence card or still waiting for it???
I am a polish national working and living with my non EU husband in the UK for two years, he is still waiting for his residence card for 10 months now, well God only knows when that residence card would come!! unbelievable British Home Office. The question now is will my husband able to apply for schengen visa without any valid proof of UK residence in his new passport???? We contacted the Polish Consulate who insisted that he has to wait to get his Residence Card in order to apply for a schengen one…we contacted the German who also answered that he has to got a residence permit in order to apply EVEN for EU spouses…
I personally can NOT believe what is going on…guys someone tell me Were they right??? So my husband can not get a schengen visa as he is still waiting for his RC. Has anybody been in that situation?
