All the folks up here that say you have to visit the country you applied to have no clue how the schengen works. I have been going to Europe for each of the past 6 years and I apply to the country that's the fastest to process my application. Sometimes I go there on my trip, sometimes I don't.

Nope on your first trip using the visa that country has to be your first entry point into EU and technically your longest stay on that trip.

You can absolutely change travel plans. It's no big deal. Don't over think it

Yep. Just did that and finished the trip with no problem.

Well you need to show some proof that you will be in that country. In flight tickets or hotel bookings. I'd suggest make some refundable bookings and then cancel after you get the visa.

like

D1 you still need a stamp from that country on the visa before you can use it for other countries

So we can't get a block visa and then change travel places? For example applied to czeck consulate for czeck and poland. But ended up going to czeck and austria?

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
