Hi all, I am EU citizen and have been living in the UK with my wife and son for more than 10 years. My niece is 16 years old and would like to stay with us for 6 months. She would like to continue her studies during this period. Is this possible? If so, can someone please suggest me how to proceed? ...

We got married in Feb/2005 in Wicklow and my wife was denied.

Platinum,
All the best luck for you!
I and my wife tried exactly the same thing, but it did not work for us. Even so I think if you are prepared for the worst, you should try yourself. Best regards.

Hi, I bought a ticket for my wife to Brazil last Saturday. We are deciding to apply from Brazil, exactly as the British Embassy advised us. This seems to be the most correct way to deal with this situation and we want to be safe in our actions. I want to avoid my wife to run in risk and going to ano...

Hi all, I have contacted both Solvit representatives (Ireland and UK) on last Tuesday. Solvit Ireland said they would be sending a request to the Irish Department of Justice to see if there is anything to be done. But I have not heard any update after that. Solvit UK said that nothing can be done if...

Hi, Just to update you regarding this. I went this morning along with my wife to the British Embassy here in Dublin to apply for the EEAFP. Well, the conclusion is that she is not entitled to apply for a visa from Ireland as she has no valid stamp in her passport. The letter from the Department of J...

Sorry about the confusion Docterror. Here is the letter we received from the Irish Department of Justice after 10 months waiting. Dear Ms...., I am directed by the Minister of Justice, Equality and Law Reform to refer to your application for residence under the provisions of the European Communities...

Ok, so just to confirm... I fill up the EEAFP Application form specifying the days we will stay and also include the address of a hotel in the UK, but we do not need to prove that with tickets or the hotel bookings (is this gonna work?). I also bring letters from my company to prove that we are actu...

Well, I do have a confirmation that my position can be transferred to the UK from July on and that would not be a problem to prove as the company is willing to help me with this. They could also prepare a letter to prove that. Also we could explain her visit to the UK is important as she will help m...

If my wife applied for the EEAFP (and suppose the British Embassy accepted her application from Dublin) to spend a weekend with me in the UK, the visa would be valid for 6 months (the minimun duration visa they issue), right? If so, that means she would be allowed to return to Ireland as she has a v...

Just wondering... my wife has been having English classes since her arrival to Dublin in order to have an activity, but we havent applied for a "student visa". I think if we asked the school, they could help us to get a student visa stamped on her passport. Do you think this would be enoug...

Thanks for all answers. They are helping a lot.
Suppose we decide to try applying for the EEAFP from Dublin. Would you know what documents are required?
Regards.

Hi, thanks for your answers. Just to give you more information, the new contract will be completely new. It will be prepared by another office based in the UK and will contain my details as living in the UK. It will not have anything to do with Ireland. Also after the 5 months I must become a perman...

Hi all, I am a Portuguese citizen who married to a Brazilian citizen two years ago in Ireland. Unfortunately my wife is not able to renew her residence here (Ireland) as she has never lived in another EU member State apart of Ireland before and therefore she got her residence denied after 10 months ...

I have just called the Immigration Council (01 674 0200).
Unfortunately they have not reached a verdict and the case was postponed until 15th of June...

No, they did not send anything... they do not answer phone calls and neither email messages. They do not respect Immigrants... :-( I have just called the Immigration Council (non governament organisation) and they said Ireland is refusing residence visa to spouses of Europeans if the non-European pa...

Hi, I am Portuguese married to a Brazilian. We have been living in Ireland for almost 1 year now and my wife has been waiting for her residence card for almost 9 months. Her temporary visa (join spouse) was valid for only one month and therefore is expired (she has not left the country since then). ...

Hi, I am just coming from the Immigration Office. Unfortunately, my wife is not entitled to work (even having a PPS number) while waiting for the EU1 be processed. As my wife has been very depressed due to this tough situation, they advised us to go to a doctor and send the doctor's letter to the sa...

Hi there, From what I read on the last few posts, it seems that people waiting for the EU1 form to be processed have rights to work in the meantime (if they have a PPS number). My wife is Brazilian and I am Portuguese, we married in Ireland 2 years ago (when the rules were different), but left the c...

In the meantime, while waiting for the EU1 be processed, what are the spouse's rights in Ireland?

Hi Static, I got a different information from the Immigration Office. They advised me not to send the original documents but photocopies along with the EU-1. I was very worried about sending the originals. Suppose you need to leave the country due to an emergency. You might need your passports with ...

Hi Scrudu, Thanks a lot for the answer and your pacience so far. My wife is from Brazil. I think probably my wife has a D-Type Spouse visa, because her passport visa stamp says she is in the coutry to join spouse and is valid for one month (it is expired already). Prior to our marriage (two years ag...
