Official info from German Embassy is that they look for where the topic of your 
journey is, not where u cross the border... i don't think that u have to anull 
previous visa....

My family is planning a trip to France. Two of us have US passports but my
wife and her mother have Russian. They have previously received Shengen
visas (one year) three years ago from Italy. The French website says that we
should get previous Shengen visas annulled at the prior consulate(s) -
there's also a German Shengen visa in my wife's passport.

I am unclear if because we got the visas from the Italian consulate before
if we are to apply there again, or if we should get from French consulate
(since that is where we will go now.

Can anyone clarify this situation.
Thanks in advance for advice.

CH: Usually you should get the visa from the consulate of the Schengen
country you are travelling to. What counts is, where she enters the Schengen
area, but also where she will spend most of her time within the Schengen
area. Depending on that consulates can send your wife to another consulate.
Its probably best to call the French embassy upfront. Usually you need to
make an appointment before and be aware that during the holiday season they
only give you an appointment 6 to 8 weeks after you called. Its varying from
consulate to consulate, based on their workload. This is just info from my
own experience. I'm not a visa expert.
