Unfortunately, the ceremony I attended ( at 2ish) was spoilt by people who did not read or care about the instructions on the letter indicating you could bring only one adult and decided to take toddlers or babies with them. I could barely hear the speech due to crying babies, I hope they do somethi...

Basically, yes and yes. You will need to with your partner and wait for a few hours.

Which line do you usually take, holding a Stamp 4 Eufam?

I go to the "Non-EU" queue, even when travelling with my wife.

Has anyone recently experienced ordeal by immigration officials? I travel to London a lot and overtime I get questions in very judgemental way, more likely interrogation way. Immigration officer crossed all limit today and made me to wait for 2 hours because I did not know my wife number by heart.T...

It will be difficult to get a work visa like that, like the previous poster said, you are competing against all the IT professional in Europe that can work here, so unless you have a very specific skill that is hard to find, this will be very difficult.

How quickly is the residency card issued after the decision? I remember when we received the decision to issue the temporary card. I had to book time off work to go with my wife and then she had to have fingerprint/photographs done after which we were told we had to wait 3 week so the card can be p...

Unless the child is Irish, I don't think that will help.

The EU partner MUST be present for both stamps. That is clearly indicated in the letter.

One can be on your name and the other on his name. That should not be a problem.

Is there any other way to ask for updates other than calling or sending a letter? Do they have an email address?

The form explicitly says "Original Passport or National Identity Card of EU citizen" so sending a copy would most likely end up in them not processing your application until you send the original or in a refusal.

I am trying to renew my EUFAM1 for another 5 years, my wife (EU Citizen) is not working at the moment and is having problems to find a job. We recently applied using EU1 Form as self-sufficient (We have health insurance and never claimed any welfare) but not a lot of money on her bank account. We ar...

In the application i said she stop working last month as the company could give enough hours because January to March is always quite. I am optimistic that she will get a job soon. My concern is if they will give me the Temp stamp 4 for 6 month then before that runs out she will deferentially get a...

I am in a similar situation. My wife has worked for only like 2.5 years of my 5 years here as we had a child and her salary was not good enough to pay for childcare. I have worked during the 5 years and we have never claimed any social welfare. She is now looking for a job, while I applied two weeks...

Hi Gedk66, you won't have much success here, but I am pretty sure there are a couple of facebook groups for Latinos in Ireland.

I haven't met many latinos myself after 5 years living here. Feel free to send me a PM if you have any specific question.

How are you .everybody am no-eu Married to irish citizen i have my stamp 4 me and my wife we planned to spend weekend in uk .my question is can i travel to england or i need to apply for visa to visit ? Well, it really depends on if you require a visa, I am also a non-EU but I don't need a visa to ...

Thanks 'Coketero'.. My wife, children and I will want to travel together. I mean I don't want to be separated from my wife/kids whilst we await a decision on her visa. As for her Visa, I was told she should apply for a D join spouse visa, so if I'm understanding your response correctly, once we arr...

You can move to Ireland with your family anytime, once your wife is here, you can apply using the FORM EU1, since initially you won't have a job you will be asked to provide some evidence that you can support yourself and your family such as health insurance and bank statements and a letter from soc...

Hi everyone I hope everything is going well, its been almost 2 months after our 6 months temporary stamp, Can anyone tell how long we have to wait for 5 years Letter. I thought we should get it by now as few ppl have received it within 2 months time. waiting for ur reply Guys. Thank you I went thro...

Thanks 110. My son is not Irish as he didn't qualify to be Irish, he has the citizenship of his mother (EU)

Thanks Jeupsy. It sounds like we are in trouble then, I doubt she can find employment in such a short period (less than 2 months). My son is EU citizen but I don't see how that could help . I might need to see a solicitor. Thanks.
