Maybe a system similar to what they use in the States would be a go idea. I know its not perfect but might be a step in the right direction.

goog for him. Everybody does know what is happening, but yet nobody wants to anything about it. If you have nothing to hide then you should not have to be worried about being investigated.
Every body cries - my rights, my civil liberties. Come on give me a break, this situation has to be rectified.

On this issue, I whole heartedly support the justice minister on this. Being married to a Latvian national myself, I am deplored that these sham marriages take place whilst attaching a negative stigma to legitimate marriages to citizens from baltic states.

Thanks very much for your reply, jhbmike. Do you mind me asking you if you applied with your new address for the passport shortly afterwards and if that was ok?. I mean there's probably a small gap of time between issuing the certificate with the old address and sending the passport application wit...

Thanks crown. Another question folks, not sure if anyone has been in a similar position. I'm planning to relocate to a new house. Does it make any difference if I change my address while waiting for the certifcate?, i.e, I'll fill in form 7 with my current address but I'm expecting to relocate in t...

Doubt that it would hold any weight however having 2 children with Irish passports would certainly be looked upon fovourably.

Got mine today. Exactly 5 weeks. Great! Congratulations! Hopefully I'll get mine next week then. I really can't wait! Yeah it was exciting, went same day to passport office. Good luck to you.

Hi mono786, In that case, you don't need to waste your time and effort to get an EEA Family Permit from the British Embassy. You can just go to the UK.

I was on the phone to them on Tuesday. Lady said that minister signs it personaly. Maybe thats the reason for delay.
