I GOT MY WORK PERMIT TODAY!! Its only for a year but at least I can have a normal life now. They were really fast. They returned my papers once last week and I taught it was gonna take 2 weeks but it only took one! I hope everything goes nice for all of you as well, I know is terribly hard to be sit...

I have heard from the employers that Spousal Work Permit is actually taking up to 2 months to be processed is that true? I mean the girl in DETE told me mine would be fast tracked and will take 2 weeks. Is there any diference between the spousal work permit and that we are asking for? or is it the s...

So I have one question, say that you are granted a work pemrmit because you are waiting for the EU1, once denied can you just continue with the work permit until the situation is sorted? i called the DETE and the girls than answer the phone was worst than thoe DoJ, only yes and no answers...excellen...

So I have one question, say that you are granted a work pemrmit because you are waiting for the EU1, once denied can you just continue with the work permit until the situation is sorted?

But what do they want as residence. For what I can understand new couples have absolutely no way of how to get a residence as we do not have several years of marriage and we didnt lived together(and by this I mean I didnt have a residence card) in any other member state
This is an outrage

After we get the residence denied can we apply for student visa?I mean I have to and need to work while they decide our destiny

Well how about we involve the media now I mean how many families are going to destroy with this stupid law?
Dont you think this situation is worthy of a news paper?

I found in this link http://ec.europa.eu/justice_home/fsj/im ... ily_en.htm
"This Directive does not apply in the United Kingdom, Ireland or Denmark"
mmm...does this means we arer doomed?

EU-Country of worker: Latvia

Non-EEA country of spouse: Mexico

Date of application for residence card for spouse: 11th december

Approved, Denied, or Pending (if approved, supply date of approval): pending

We lived together in Ireland almost 2 years before marriage, but we meet in Latvia

Upsy daisy sorry I answer now...so you have PM.. sorry for the delay

Well Im still waiting for a reply and Im still positive thou I believe I wont get a positive answer. I called the DoJ and they say I can go to Gara and ask for a permision to study but as I am waiting for a EU1 I cant apply for student visa. Maybe as your situation is diferent maybe you can apply fo...

Well it seems we better prepare either to protest or to leave the country or both.
I called the DoJ and they told me I cant apply for a student visa and anyway, student visas laws are changing as we writte

So basically this means that we have no hope and that the case will not be in ur favor?
Well I called the DoJ and ask if I could apply for a student visa and they told me that I cant

Hi runie sorry but I cant seem to remember whether I answer your Pm or not.

Its so unfair!! What then is going to happend to people who falls in love in Ireland!!?? Its the most ridiculous thing in the world. If they only enterview people they would save us this non sense!!!
We dont have why to sue nobody they should pay mor attention to what are they doing.

This means that the court case IS happening on the 15th I mean if thats the information they have it must be truth. Hopefully then very soon we will have an answer, lets all wish its in our favour.

Hello Im a mexican national currently living in Ireland. I ask for a Residence Card(EU1) as I am married to a Latvian national.
