Hi
We are going through the same process.
As far as I have been able to understand, according to European Law the ONLY thing they need to see and are legally entitled to see are:
- your ID card/passport, to prove you are a EU citizen;
- your job contract /payslip (if you are applying as a worker - I think contract should be enough, they just need to see you are actually working) OR proof of funds (if you are applying as self-sufficient) OR your school registration/letter of acceptance/letter confirming you are attending your lessons (if you are applying as a student), to prove you are exercising your treaty rights - I think a CV and a couple of job adverts to whom you could qualify might actually prove you are a job seeker? not sure here;
- your wedding certificate, to prove you are legally married;
- your wife's passport, to (prove her identity and) put the stamp on it.
All the rest they ask you is superfluous, and according to EU law ILLEGAL for them to ask you. This (should be) according to the letter of the law.
Then in real life they expect to see something more, at least to make sure you can support yourself somehow and won't ask for benefits, but if you can work and have some sort of job, even part time, over your student status, they can't ask you more, there is no minimum amount of money you need to earn. But you won't find a clear cut list, because it is actually illegal for them to ask more than that listed above... But IMO they shouldn't refuse you if these things are there. (Might help a couple of photos of the two of you together for the marriage of convenience thing, or in your case, something baby-related... Congratulations!)
Someone please correct me if I am wrong!
