He didn't get it yet as he already have it but they stated 6 months on the letter.

All right then. Good luck there at the GNIB.

My husband doesn't need a visa to come to Ireland but he does need one to remain though.

Yes, they have sent the receipt and all our file, including passports, bills, contracts and so on! When did u send?

By the way... someone has to be at home to pick it up, otherwise you will have to pick it up at your closest Post Office.

Hi there! Just to let you know... we posted on Wednesday and we received the acknowledgment 10 days after. Now... we plan to move from our flat. Does anyone know how should we proceed to let them know about our new address? Or should we stay at the same apartment until receiving their letter? Cheers!

Thanks Knapps for the answer! I've been away from the forum for a long time. We sent my husband's EU1 Form last Wednesday. I saw on the internet that they received using the Tracking Code issued for Registered Letters. What raise concerns is that they did not send an acknowledgment or a receipt. How...

Hi people! I think it's a stupid question but anyway :oops: Our landlord is taking too long to send our Rental Contract and PRTB Registration (looks like she is avoiding to do it even though it is obligatory). Can we send my husband application without this documents and amend it later to our applic...

I received a quote of 65 Euro. As they stated not notarised but said it would be ok. Does anyone know about it?

Cost is vat inclusive, no not notarized,but we put translations on our
company letterhead paper and this is what is used for official purposes.
Visa applications etc...

Does anyone recommend one? I went after some but they are charging between 90 to 130 for a single certificate with less than 250 words.

What a huge surprise! We came up to the GNIB, we had to wait for about one hour to talk with the officer, which was really really nice (making me wish that all people in government services were like him). Our documents were in French and were not translated but as the officer could speak French he ...

Thanks! Let's see how things will go around there...

What about the initial registration?

Do we have to pay any fees or are we free of charge?

In the EU1 Form they have these questions and we got a bit confused. Date of arrival in the State: day/month/year Place of arrival in the State: Date of first Registration in Ireland: day/month/year If no registration date has been provided please explain why: Status on arrival in the state (please ...

Ca.funke, Just wondering. How long you and your spouse have been together? I just went in the INIS website and found that: If you are the non EEA partner of an EU Citizen in an attested, durable relationship that has existed for at least 2 years... Me and my husband have been together for more than ...

Hold on... could you clarify some things for me?

We apply for the EU4Fam and then after we ask for a Stamp 4 for my husband while waiting for the EU4Fam?

Unbelievable!

Well... your wife could join a full time English course or any other full time course, which would give her a student visa. This visa allows her to remain in Ireland with you for the period of the course and will give her the right to work in a part time basis job.

I'm EU (German/Belgian), my wife (Lebanon) joined me in Ireland on a join-spouse visa after marrying in Cyprus, without prior residence elsewhere in the Union. When she arrived we were told to apply for EU1, and the same day/minute we got stamp 4, and she started a new job 1 week after arriving. Th...

ca.funke,

That's good news, in the same day you got a Stamp 4, that's amazing... did she has residency in another EU Member State? I wish that could happen to us... when did you applied?

Directive/2004/38/EC

We know that already... but we want to do the things in a way that will avoid us problems, we don't want to argue and anything... we just want to show all the papers and say: so what officer?

Hi Benifa, We want to do things right, as long as we have the Carte de Sejour, there's no GNIB's request we are not fulfilling. We are in a hurry because we are living with my parents (and of course that is not it's suppose to be) but besides that we are working and saving some money so it's fine to...

Well, so here we are... married, living in France and waiting for the Carte de Sejour. My husband got a receipt which allows him to work and live in France while we wait for his residency. We still have plans to go back to Ireland, so... is there anything else we could do while here in France? His C...

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. :oops: The EU1 Form is the way to apply for a Residence Card in Ireland. If we go to the Irish Embassy in France and apply for the Residence Card there to come to Ireland, would that be easier? Doing it over there already state that we are living in a EU Member cou...

I've read in another post about asking for EU1 in another country... is this way better than asking it here in Ireland?

Thanks archigabe for all the information. We just came back from France, and if everything goes as planned we will get married in April. :mrgreen: Now, does anyone have any idea of how long is it taking for the Immigration to issue the Stamp 4 or EU1? If it takes too long, we are considering going t...

Thanks for your quick reply! Couldn't sleep before checking the board. I read about this proof of residence in another EU member state here in the board. I always had the doubt of how long should we live in another EU member state before requesting a Residence Card here in Ireland. As the website yo...

I couldn't find any situation close to mine so I decided to open a new topic. I found loads of useful information in this website. Thanks to you I do not sleep at night anymore :shock: but anyway was good to see how the way isn't smooth as we though. :( - I'm a French citizen living in Ireland for m...
