My dominican boyfriend has applied for a Schengen tourist visa in March 2011.
The whole process took 6 weeks. 3 Weeks to get the appointment at the Spanish embassy (since Sweden dont have a Embassy in DR), and after it took 3 weeks to get the answer. He got denied.
Now, I wonder if anyone else has been through the same or similar experience and what you had to do to get approved. I?ve read alot of threads and it seems like it shouldn't be that hard to get a tourist visa for Europe.
They denied it because they think there?s a chance that he wouldnt return to DR. Thats the only reason why they denied it.
We had all the papers in order and he has a reference person here in Sweden as well. It all seems very strange.
Also, the Spanish embassy is very hard to contact. Not answering the phone what so ever.:tired:
We got the appointment for the interview by contacting the lawyer right next to the Spanish embassy in SD. It cost around 2000 pesos for the time.
Now they want him to write a letter to the Spanish embassy so that they can start over with the process, IF they find a reason to go over it again.
What are your suggestions?
