I mean exercising treaty rights in Ireland. I think you have 6 months but I don’t think this apply to you as you are Irish citizen so I don’t think anyone will want you or your husband to leave the country. However, I think it is still required that you should be working, studying, or self-suffi...
Yes, you should send a letter to them informing, that you don’t want to apply under Zambrano but you must submit documents as a proof that you are exercising treaty right in the state. If not included I doubt they will issue your husband with temporary Stamp 4. They will request for additional doc...
I think it depends on you to know which process you will choose. I remembered when I submitted my application for residence card they mistakenly thought that we had our marriage in an embassy and they suggested that they will be processing my application as a partner not married couple. I sent a let...
Provided she has stamp 4 she is eligible to register with FAS. And she may be entitled to take part in any course but whether she will pay for the course will depends if she is in receipt of any social welfare. Again, I don't think she will get paid because she is doing a course. Her best bet is to ...
What Monife said is correct. You can only apply for RC by registered post as original documents need to be posted. What happened in airport was the normal procedure for anyone coming under EU family permit. It takes about 10 days for you to receive a reply after your application has been received. T...
Since the birth certificate was issued by Nigeria authority in Nigeria, then he can authenticate the document in Nigeria embassy in Dublin; I think it is 25 euro as I see in their website. Or he can get a declaration of age from Nigeria embassy in Dublin at the same price. I don’t think he can do ...
Applying for Medical card will not affect your husband's chance of getting residence card. We applied for Medical card when we moved to ireland and it was granted. Although, my wife is working so I dont know the criteria for those that are not working. But I believe medical card is meant for those w...
If your friend has tried Brophy and again another solicitor and still not quite satisfy then He or she should look into his case and know what is really wrong instead of wasting money jumping from solicitor to solicitor. To my opinion Brophy solicitor that you mention are good and I think they have ...
Of course not passport control, facial profiling. Once they suspect you as non eu citizen they will ask for your passport. I think Danish immigration officer and law enforcement officer are known for this. I heard even taxi driver in Denmark works for the police. Once they suspect you as immigrant w...
Perhaps, I could say for ireland and Uk it may be easy to resolve because they clearly understand the law. But for other EU countries it always proof difficulties to resolve visa problem outside EU countries with execption of Sweden. My friend didnt report his case to SOlvit but I have written to So...
I think your spouse is wasting her time by applying for visa in other EU countries instead of UK. I know a friend who married a Hungarian lady and wanted to apply for visa from Germany embassy and they were asking for a load of documents and legalization of documents. But later they advise him to go...
I don’t think he should be watching his back. If HO believed that the initial application was fraudulent they would have arrested him and the spouse. But I know they will investigate properly his new application. And as I said before they made things not easy for themselves like not informing thei...
Provided all your new application and documents are genuine you don’t have to worry except for the time it will take because as I said previously HO will definitely investigate your application very well.
Directive/2004/38/EC Not sure why you say this? What is the least bit difficult or suspicious in what I suggested? Well, I don’t know what you don’t understand in what I said. HO is retaining a passport which was reported missing and the wife has to go to her country to get a new passport even w...
I think both of you are making things more difficult and suspicious. If your wife’s passport was retained by HO why would she go ahead to do a new passport when she her passport is still with HO. Also, she should have informed her embassy when she found her passport before you lodged your applicat...
I think you should reapply and I think it is not a good idea stating how much long you want to stay in Uk. You may write a letter stating that both you and your wife will be moving to Uk and that your wife will be actively looking for job. You should include evidence of her work history, since the r...
Congrat man! It is a joyful thing to be out of Irish immigration hands for some time. With so much unfair treatment from them. I also got approval after a long battle with them. :D I hope also that those who have been suffering so much on their hands will have a sign of relief someday and live happi...
I think you are going through the long process since your spouse is no visa required national. Plan B that 86ti suggested is the best option to my thinking. And I guess they might refuse the family permit because they know she can visit UK with you without visa for a period of 90days and at that tim...
Update on case: DOJ finally served their opposition papers on us. Seeing as it took so long, we have to wait til next list of fixed dates. Hearing hopefully in April. Department's defence is basically stating that I am an Irish national living in my member state of origin so cannot derive rights fr...
I still cannot understand what is going on in Ireland immigration. Some of those guys working in INIS has background of law. Don't they understand that your spouse is entitled to apply for visa under EU law since you have exercised your eu rights in other country. Why are they pretending like they d...
I will strongly suggest that you may move to other countries. UK or even to sweden. You may study in Sweden which is absolute free. You only need money to finance your living. After 6 months you may then move back to Ireland.
I wish you guys all the best.
I dont think they care abou the law anymore. they are just frustrated about their job and can give any reason while refusing your application. As someone suggested let the person get a lawyer and I hope your lawyer could be good to take the matter to court immediately. Also, I think they look at the...
I will suggest you reapply and submit all your documents back and if they refuse again. then take the minister to court since you know your marriage certificate is genuine. I think some people in GNIB and Eu treaty rights are bunch of lazy people who prefer to lie instead of investigating things in ...
