Hello, Please could this post be merged if its duplicate? I did not see a similar post. I recently applied for DLR. The home office had my passport with them from a previous application. They just randomly returned my passport to me with no communication and I am wondering what this may mean. Can so...

Congrats adedayoh. Glad u sorted it out.

Sorry have not been on this blog for a bit.

Hi happy, He applied for a short stay (c) join eea spouse visa. We will appeal the decision because I believe the visa officer is totally ignorant and doesn't understand the directives. I refused to give them the satisfaction when I know they have incompetent untrained staff members. I am a qualifi...

Adedayoh : did they even check it? This one they got back to u in abt a week. I just checked the dates again.

hi happy, am so upset right, so the stupid ignorant visa officers in Nigeria refused my husbands visa on the fact that he didn't include enough proof that he is joining me. in the visa application i provided an airline ticket to show that i will be travelling to Dublin from London before him. we in...

Hey happy, We finally got it sorted, it took calling the embassy for the ignorant vfs staffs to accept the join eea application. Fingers crossed the embassy won't take forever to get bk to us. Will update you when he gets it. When r u n ur daughter travelling to Ireland. @adedayoh, That's good. Tho...

Thanks, adedayoh. So how did it go with your husband? On my visa , duration of stay is xx, not 90 days as with tourist visa. Cos I can apply for family permit. Pls don't let them sell him short. Let me know. Sorry haven't been online all day. Hi happy, I am so happy for you, my husband went to submi...

U are very correct according to the Inis website. The c visa should actually be issued within a month at the maximum. But a D visa which will be required in the case of an irish national May take up to six months to be issued. The difference Is the EU perspective. Cheers. Xx quote="heregreg&quo...

The Join or accompany spouse is a short stay c visa. Pls do not mislead people. It is clearly written on Inis website. It states to get a C visit visa and extend when in the state. This is to ałlow the quick facilitation under the eu laws. When u get in, u then go and extend so far It's an acc/join ...

Thanks all. Got the visa exactly four weeks to the date I received the parcel. Cheers. Directive,Obie and all the gurus in the house, If the embassy is taking more than 4 weeks to issue the short stay c visa, what would you advise? Pls I need a response dear moderators or anyone that can help

Hi adedayoh, Came back here to feed u back. I got the response today which is exactly 4 weeks from the day I submitted. I got the visa, my daughter and I.

Irajaforyou, I'll say you should, just take it one step at a time. U can apply for a join spouse visa if you will be there ahead of her even if it is a few days before Or an accompany spouse visa if you will be traveling together. U do not need to go first to ireland then go back to get her and back...

Irajaforyou, just a few paragraphs up, u get your answer. Your passport data page copy, your spouse's passport and your marriage certificate is all you have to produce in the first three months. The visa should be issued to you free of charge and on the basis of an accelerated procedure, usually wit...

Ok. There is that option available in Nigeria. But like I have said just don't know how long it takes. Fingers crossed that it won't take forever.

All the best.

*just to err on the side of caution *

The first thing your spouse will do is to apply for an Irish join spouse visa from Nigeria. This should be given free if charge (you pay vfs fee) and on the basis of an accelerated procedure. I'm not yet sure how long that is translated to in Nigeria but it should not exceed 4 weeks. Also the requir...

Lol. U can hold ur breath oh. I would include all evidence of relationship sef. Though it's not usually required :D Letters, pictures taken over the years, call history everything. Let's see how they wiggle out of this one. I will put everything putable. Don't wanna take chances. I wish you good luc...

Thanks, dalebutt. I'm in Lagos. Would be applying from here. My husband is in london. Na wa oh. I hope they would ve soft pedaled plus I intend to put even more than they require for the application. I also intend to subtly quote the processing time slated by the EU. I'll put in the application by n...

My husband is a British citizen. We got married in June 2012 and have twice applied for and been refused spouse visa. First time financial requirement and they didn't think our marriage was subsisting. Second time financial requirement They claimed not to have seen his tax records. Which we called H...
