Hi,
My father's facilitation visa got rejected, but we appealed to it and received a positive decision from the IND with instructions to contact the embassy and submit some new documents to collect the visa (90 day visa they said).
Although the initial visa application was submitted directly at the embassy, contrary to the IND instructions, the embassy has referred my father to contact an external service provider and has additionally asked for an MVV application.
Is this normal? Or is the embassy sending us on a wild goose chase?
Regardless of that, in the MVV form, where the purpose of travel should be chosen, the closest option that I find is Family life under art. 8 ECHR. Would this be the correct purpose? Because to my knowledge, facilitation visa is based on 2004/38/EC directive.
As of now this so called "facilitation" visa was anything, but "facilitating"...
