Re: Irish Associations - Denied

All of your answers are answered on INIS's website. https://www.irishimmigration.ie/how-to-become-a-citizen/applications-based-on-irish-descent-or-irish-associations/ The wording on waiving reckonable residence is: An association going back two generations without any other link to the State is gen...

Re: Irish Associations - Denied

I thought of you @shakey! Congratulations btw! What is also interesting to me is: 1) Albeit, I applied after one year, but they held my application up to the 2.5 year mark which would have brought the application closer to the desired 3 year mark imo; then choose to deny it. 2) it seems to violate B...

Irish Associations - Denied

I applied for citizenship through Irish associations relatively prematurely. Normally, the general rule of thumb being you have minimum 3 years reckonable residence. I applied after 1. Therefore, I was not entirely surprised that it was denied. However, what I am now uncertain on is two-fold: 1) in ...

Re: Marrying UK partner resident in Ireland, currently non-EEA stamp 2 permissions

1. If the UK person has been exercising their EU Treaty Rights prior to the start of a de facto relationship , can a partner still get in under EUTR1A? i.e. the UK person exercised their EU Treaty Rights prior to 31 December 2020, but the de facto relationship begins after this time. 2. If not, if ...

Re: Marrying UK partner resident in Ireland, currently non-EEA stamp 2 permissions

I am not sure how they get in under EUTR1A if they were residing in the State on separate permissions prior to 31 December 2020 i.e. OP was in the State on a Stamp 2 and not dependent on their partner (de facto/spouse) prior to 31 December 2020 so therefore was not a "family member" prior...

Re: Marrying UK partner resident in Ireland, currently non-EEA stamp 2 permissions

The 40k requirement is for applicants under domestic laws. You both have been living in Ireland before Brexit, so that does not apply to you. EU Treaty rights apply to you, which do not have a set amount requirement. You just need to apply for it as soon as possible, as it will be increasingly diff...

We’re concerned largely now about the sponsorship aspect. He had very little income this year, and cumulative income from the two years prior to this one would not add up to €40k I don’t think. He only just finished his PhD so we need to both find work. He has a lot of money in savings from a few s...

Re: Marrying UK partner resident in Ireland, currently non-EEA stamp 2 permissions

Thanks for this although it does not really state what I should include in that letter. INIS was also not helpful when I eventually got a reply. They told me I had to be a de facto partner with my partner prior to getting married and then applying for a residence card on the EUTR1A, if that makes s...

Good news - they emailed me back and said they would now issue a new IRP card without having to renew online/pay the €300.00 twice. I would normally have waited, but since I am on a Stamp 2 and will be switching to a Stamp 1G - I could not wait i.e. I cannot apply for a Stamp 1G before the expiratio...

I think that will be an interesting point and potentially a future case, although I am not certain on what grounds. Essentially, it would be put before the court whether the Minister/the Office is attempting to circumvent or create new law by creating a practice not to review applications until year...

I have no idea how I missed this before, but they are saying applications based on Irish Association take an excess of 30 months to process. So I think I am right to say I will hear closer to my 3 year period. https://www.irishimmigration.ie/citizenship/applications-based-on-irish-descent-or-irish-a...
