As others have already mentioned, you, as an EU national, have the right to move to Ireland and to seek and to take up employment. These rights are immediately transferred to your husband provided that you are resident in Ireland with him. That said, the legal rights to live and work in Ireland are ...
You should be OK--don't lose sleep over this. I'm assuming that your partner's name appears on your child's birth cert, so I really don't foresee major difficulties. First thing to do is to familiarize yourself with this FAQ: http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/WP07000024 As you're American, you do...
I agree with Immigration Lawyer. The fact that the child has an Irish Birth Cert is not relevant in this instance. You will, of course, be required to submit it with the application, but the child is benefiting from a speedy naturalization following the naturalization of a parent. Clearly the purpos...
Just to clarify: Currently one of the child's parents has become a naturalized Irish citizen? If yes, just fill in this form: http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Form%209%20(Ver%203.0%20Jun%202011).pdf/Files/Form%209%20(Ver%203.0%20Jun%202011).pdf and include all the requested documents. I did it for my ...
Perhaps he was referring to the green card lottery? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity_Immigrant_Visa In effect, British citizens are not eligible to participate (unless from Northern Ireland), but Irish citizens are. I guess the guy you were talking to claimed Irish nationality through his pare...
Back before I became naturalized, I only got 1-year stamp 4 renewals as well. I never really considered kicking up a fuss about it (even though my spouse is an EU national) since my local garda station is very quiet, making the renewal process quick and easy. I would be willing to wager that in the ...
Could you be any more vague? What do you mean by 'missing some paperwork'? What kind of 'paperwork' would you be missing? What passport are you travelling with? How long are you planning on staying? How much money do you have with you? What is the purpose of your visit? Where and with whom are you s...
Sorry to say this, but I'd rate your chances of getting your boyfriend over to Ireland between nil and slim. Even if you guys got married, it is important to realize that marriage to an Irish citizen (I'm assuming you're Irish) does not automatically confer residency rights to the non-EEA spouse. Ev...
They generally request 3 months of bank statements, pay slips and a P21 from the tax office. If you've got the above documents to hand, sure post them to INIS. The worst that'll happen is that they'll just accumulate dust until such time as a case worker clears the cobwebs from your application file...
But are you planning on working or studying in Ireland? It seems like your plan consists of arriving in Ireland, applying for a permit for your partner and then immediately heading over to the UK. Your timeframe seems to be a matter of days or weeks and not months. It is also important to bear in mi...
Are you French? If so, this is what you need to read: http://vosdroits.service-public.fr/F2673.xhtml In short, (bearing in mind nothing is really 'short and simple' with French administration) 1. You must be French at the time of marriage. 2. If you are residing abroad, then you and your spouse must...
Effectively, 'Community Preference' applies for all non-Green Card level jobs. This means that before an employer can hire a non-EU national for any position, they'll have to demonstrate they've been unable to hire a suitably qualified Irish or European candidate for the job. And how is this demonst...
I just saw this on the Irish Times site: http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2010/0911/1224278636072.html AN IMMIGRANT doctor who had worked for eight years in the Irish health service was denied naturalisation because she had broken a red traffic light on her bicycle, a conference in UCC wa...
I'm so sorry to hear about your MiL's poor health. It must be quite a shock. I do hope she is on the mend. I'm not very knowledgeable about the entitlement to medical cards but citizensinformation.ie does seem to have a fairly comprehensive breakdown about it. See here: http://www.citizensinformatio...
Hey guys, I just received my son's naturalisation approval. Even bearing in mind that his was an application of a minor, this approval was rather quick. I sent off the application on the 10th March and just received the letter this morning.
BTW, why haven't you applied for British nationality seeing as you've been living in the UK for the last 8 years? It seems like the most logical thing to do.
First things first: You need to move to Ireland. Ireland removed the option of post-nuptial naturalization a few years ago. So if you want to become Irish, you'll have to move to Ireland--this includes Northern Ireland. After that, these are the requirements: Naturalisation of spouses of Irish citiz...
I'd normally say to ring them to find out what's going on with your application, but it seems they're no longer taking calls. And according to reports on this forum, it seems they don't even bother to reply to emails at the moment. The only possible solution is to send them a registered letter enqui...
it took you 3 weeks to get naturalization cert and you were getting worried?? i applied for it after 4 years of marriage with an irish citizen three years ago (i am still married to her) and i am still waiting for the reply. do you think its normal ?? or i should write to them i sent my papers sign...
Work holiday visa? http://www.dfa.ie/home/index.aspx?id=80991 At least this would cover her beyond the initial 90 days and grant her re-entry to Ireland, but I recall hearing that any subsequent change in visa status would require returning to the US. That said, once she's married to you, she's cove...
I can only wonder who is this Irish national who was able to speed through his/her spouse's approval in only 4 months. Nepotism and special privileges, alive and thriving.
