By reading all this messages I feel very lucky because my chinese wife's visa application to stay with me in Europe was successful at the first time. I met her 2 years ago on internet with meetic. I flied to her for visiting China and to see her in live. We decided to get married and at my second trip, a few months later, we were wife and husband at the Kunming municipality. After this we directly went to Guangzhou. In the belgian/luxemburger office of the embassy she aplied for a visa for long stay in the Schengen countries. After showing all the documents requested and being interviewed, she get it quikly and without problems. Something was incredible : they asked her the name of my parents, my dogs and some other details about me, she did not know the answers. But they decide to give her the visa !!! She lives now with me in Luxemburg and have a lux. ID card as family member of a lux. citizen. She can fly to China and come back at any time without difficulties, only by showing her chinese passport and her lux. ID card together to the control officers at the airports.
I am very sorry and feel sad for all the people who are fighting a long time against some big administrative and ridiculous problems. I hope they can find a solution and live happy together.
Thank you for reading this post.
