That case is completely irrelevant, since the spouse was a dependent family member. Your spouse is on a work permit, her current permission is completely independent of you, and therefore Surinder Singh does not apply to you.

Dependency is never assumed, exactly the opposite in fact. You have to prove they are dependent on the EU sponsor. Which you won't, because they aren't.

You have to prove the parents are dependent on the EU sponsor. That's the basic requirement. Which, it sounds, they are not.

No. Surinder Singh only applies if your spouse was in the EU country as your dependent family member, ie, her visa and residence permission were based on her status as your qualified family member. As you say she is residing there on a work permit, Surinder Singh route does not apply to her. Also it...

Your wife could have put your name on it if she wanted to. I suspect she must have told the registry that she is not married. If you are married then the registry will insert the name of the man in that marriage as the father, even in his absence. Therefore your absence should not have made a diffe...

So? Thats not the same thing.

No, she cannot get a tourist visa, and she won't get an EUTR visa as a fiancee. You need to wait until you are married and then apply for an EUTR visa as a spouse. You do not need to earn a certain amount, other than you need to properly employed and living full time in Ireland. You need to show tha...

A visa is a permission to present at the border, nothing else.

Join spouse is an out of country application. You can't do it in country, so your plan doesn't work. Whatever about it being inside/outside country application, U.S. Nationals are non-visa required so it doesn't apply in any case. Non visa required for business and tourism only. Visa required in ot...

Don't be so naive.

It means what it says. visit visas are not being processed. If its left, it will be processed eventually and will be refused because dates for the visit are long passed, and then the applicant will have a visa refusal on their record that they will have to declare when they are applying anywhere for...

You won't get approved as an asylum seeker as you had a wife and children in another EU state and therefoe never had any need for asylum in Ireland. You won't get approved as EUFam because the fact that you chose to apply as an asylum seeker shows you are not in a genuine and subsisting relationship...

I moved with my sposor but no stamp is given sice the case has been applied. Do you think all cases on holding lists are in trouble? How did you move with your sponsor though? My guess is without a visa to do so. If you entered illegally and haven't ever had residency permission you have very littl...

Childern are not irish born. Spent 1.5 yrs in uk and moved here with british sponsor. So almost 6.5 year in eu. Is there any facilitation for the child who completed Junior cert(irish state exam) . They even dont know the home country langauage. Any Chance on Humantarian grounds? Completed JC, so w...

Of course its your choice to have your finances as you like, but if you want a residency permission based on being married and you have no documents that suggest you are genuinely married, you're the one suffering when you get turned down! If you want to make it harder for yourself its up to you ent...

Join spouse is an out of country application. You can't do it in country, so your plan doesn't work.

No, you can't. You need a volunteer visa.

You originally applied for the wrong visa. It was nothing to do with it not being recognised as an emergency visa. You can't apply for a visit visa if you are not coming for a visit, fairly obviously. If you've supplied all the right docs its only a couple of weeks, but the embassy might not issue i...

Are you actually married? Having no joint documents is going to look pretty dodgy. Do you have a tenancy agreement for a room each? You wouldn't have one each for sharing a room, that would be too weird. Single bank statements, single tenancy agreements, no RTB, no utilty bills.....you're not going ...

I heard about a guy who is a permanent resident in Canada and he ended up hiring a solicitor who went with him to airport. The people at the check-in desk kept denying him boarding flight after flight until he lawyered up. Many of these employees are clueless when it comes to visas and immigration ...

In a nutshell, your father would have to have been an Irish citizen before your birth in order for you to qualify as one. It can be carried on for ever as long as the preceding generation is properly registered before the next is born. If you break that chain, it's lost.

That's a C visa, not a D.

Thank you so much for your response!! In regards to Q.5, I will probably be studying in Belfast from September onwards and I go by land border no immigration anywhere so will this be an issue for the Irish residence permit application for my nonEEA husband? Yes it will. You won't be living AND work...

The first step of processing any application is to scan everything into a computer system. The system is accessible via a secure VPN from home. So this would affect only new applications, not existing applications. And yes they are still working, based on multiple reply emails posted on this forum....

There is no such thing as citizenship by ‘blood’. Yes there is. Ireland, like many other countries, passes on citizenship via a principle of "jus sanguinis" which literally means "right of blood". If one or both of your parents is an Irish citizen at your birth then you are an I...
