I'm working and Irish and my wife of a year is not working and non EU. Would it be better for her chances of becoming a citizen to not claim social welfare or any benefits from the state until she applies for citizenship in 2011? Any advice would be appreciated. tia

Spouse Visa Waiting Times?

My wife is 3 weeks now waiting for her spouse visa to be approved. We are due to go to the USA for a holiday on the 31st of July. I'm worried that she won't get her spouse visa in time in order for her to get back here and for us to go on our holiday. I know they say that it takes from 4 to 6 weeks ...

Hi mickopla30, Honesty is usually the best policy. My husband and I were in the same situation. We wrote honesty that he was applying to return (on a 2nd C-Type visa) for our marriage date in Ireland. His visa was issued without hassle. Fingers crossed it'll be the same for you. That said, it doesn...

My finacee will return home next week and hope to come back here in March and we get married as planned. Would it be best for her to say she is coming for a holiday when she applies for her visa to come back??? Would it be totally a bad idea to mention she will get married here when applying for the...

The D Type of visa is only issued to Permanent Residents (those granted asylum, spouses of Irish citizens, spouses of EU citizens etc.), so cannot be issued to your fiancee. She will only be eligible for the D Visa if she is your spouse. Yes, it is a crazy. Welcome to the Irish immigration system :...

See if you can get an earlier wedding appointment from some other county registrar? The earliest we could get married would be the 4th of March as there is a 3 month wait by law to get married and my girlfriend has to leave on Jan 2nd so getting an earlier date would'nt be an advantage. Unless she ...

Hi mickopla30, I was in the same situation as you over a year ago now. The DoJ would not extend my fiancé's Tourist Visa, despite us having a booking with the Registrar in Dublin to marry. In the end after appealing their decision, he had to leave and we missed our wedding date. We rearranged a ne...
