We applied on EU1 form, i have a full time job, and all the paperwork. Im a permanent resident here, doees that mean that even without working here, or in general using any of the treaty rights we could apply for the eu4fam card? Will that make the process faster? I got my PR card (as an EU citizen,...

We are actually back to Ireland with my wife, though we had a pretty unpleasant experience with the immigration officer. First question is the purpose of travel, i say we want to live here, than he goes ah-ah that is the wrong visa then, ha cannot let us enter, we have to make a u-turn, we dont have...

Question: is she eligeble to apply for irish citizenship? Thanks she has a chance but it has to be calculated b...

Hello, I am in the process of applying for Italian citizenship- via Jure Sanguinis. On the app. form it says that you need to provide original documents and photocopy ' EACH PAGE OF THE DOCUMENT.' As one of the requested documents is my passport , does that mean they want me to literally copy every...

Actually I got it cuz my wife is Hungarian, but the problem that I am in uk, requesting residence here so if they refused it will be a problem. refused uk and deleted Hungarian, so may they will ask me to return to Egypt to start from the beginning if your wife is still working in UK than you shoul...

For the Schengen visa they are asking for the plane tickets, but u can price reserve them on some websites, many people confirmed that they accepted it, cost is about 10eur. The documents you submitted and the plane ticket should be enough for the visa, there is a chance they think you have a marria...

hi Jul1 You said your wife's waited for 6 months for a visa in Manila, did they tell her the waiting time before and if they process it in Manila? I'm asking because my wife is waiting for a visa in Jakarta. They said they process it there and the waiting time is 2 weeks. Unfortunately she got refu...

I called the local Irish embassy here, they said they wont send the application to Dublin but make the decision here, they promised max 6 weeks, lets see, we will apply this week. And finally, my wife got the visa to Ireland. She waited 6 months in Manila (EUTR visa) what we eventually canceled, th...

This topic and areas of law raises many issue of general importance, which may need to be addressed by the courts at some point in the future. its definitely possible in a case where the eu citizen doesnt leave Ireland but after 3 years of living together they divorce but the eu citizen remains and...

it's possible, living here for 3 consecutive years on eu4fam card than initiate divorce (likely in another country ) than apply for retention,

I didn't know that. When I applied the first time we were married less than 3 months, and I applied under EU directive, and I didn't have to send them payslips. I applied to Irish Embassy in Slovenia, I don't know whether it makes any difference. The delay in processing the 1000's of visa (join spo...

I am not sure why you are complicating. If you are EU citizen working in Ireland and your wife is non-EU citizen, she just needs to apply for Short Stay one entry C visa (she will get in 4 weeks maximum) and she can come to Ireland and then apply for stamp 4. Ohh my, you are absolutely not followin...

Are you still under the misconception that your wife will be able to enter the UK on a Schengen visa :?: I feel a bit confused that you dont get what i meant, she cannot go to UK on a Schengen visa directly , but if we are traveling together under EU freedom of movement rules they should issue a vi...

Just want to inform everyone on the forum of my recent good news, i received the approval letter for my residence card stamp 4EUFAM on friday, I'm very happy and wish everyone still waiting for theirs the very best of luck. will be happy to share my experience with anyone out there who needs info. ...

Ohh..and when INIS EU treaty rights sections says they are overloaded and that is why it takes min. 10 months to issue the article 10 card...i just got my Irish permanent RC as EU citizen (EU2 form), took them 9 days only to accept the application.

Yes the card is a domestic one, not based on EU treaty rights directly, its just a weird situation where my country extended the freedom of movement rights to their own citizens, so the requirements to get this card were the same as for the article 10 card, but legally its just a local one, valid on...

To Obie Thank you.. I personally know 2 people who have applied recently and immigration has accepted the application and issued letters stating that the case would be decided in 9 months. But, again its not very straight forward. Accepting the application and the positive outcome of the applicatio...

they can keep all the bills and addresses the same, so legally they are still living together, after 5 years apply for the permanent RC then citizenship, Until according to the proof of addresses they provide they live together there wont be any questions,that is the easiest way if the eu spouse sti...

update to our story: we canceled the eutr Irish visa after waiting for 6 months, my wife got the Schengen visa very quick, no hassle in 1 week to my county (visa is solely based on freedom of movement, 1 year validity), right away we applied for the resident card in my country based on local rules (...

Sorry, I just realised I confused the residence card and the temp stamp for the same thing. So does the Temporary Stamp 4 get issued the day you arrive to the immigration office and then you can work? I'm so confused. If your spouse is exercising eu treaty rights (work or study or residing with suf...

Hi guys ! I would like to ask you regarding my case. I applied for my citizenship back in june 2016 and got my 1st letter after three weeks. After that i didn't get any letter from them neither they asked me any document. I asked to my lawyer and she just asked me to wait. If there is any one who i...

Therefore if not appealed, other affected parties can use it as a binding or persuasive precedent for other cases. That means if i sue the visa office i can point out this decision, and likely i will win the case, but for that i have to sue the visa office, wait months or over a year, pay the legal...

I said it is my opinion seeing what is going on. Read the court rule, it never mentions that the visa office has to change their practice from now on, they just simply ruled for that specific couple who sued the visa office. There is no rule or law that this ruling HAS to be used for anyone, the cou...
