Hi Obie, Thank you for your response, they did not live with us in Ireland. I have since found out that although both of her children currently have Albanian passports, they can both apply for Greek Passports. One of them was born in Greece and the other one has been attending school there for six y...

Hi, I wonder if anyone would be able to give me some advice, I have a big problem and am very worried, sorry it is a long post. I am a UK citizen that has just returned to the UK from Ireland via the Surinder Singh Route, I had worked there for two years and my husband finally was granted permission...

Yes, we did it with the help of a solicitor, we submitted my actual passport, not a copy and proof we were free to marry (a copy of the banns which were put up in the UK) my affidavit (previously just put a statement in I had done myself, without getting it done by a solicitor) and more phone eviden...

Thank you all, Hi, it was an appeal, which we treated as if it were a reapplication by giving them the documents which were missing from the original and over preparing the case as if it were going to court, we did all this just so that it was ready for any eventuality and we used the accelerated ap...

Hi Everyone, Fantastic news at last!!!!! Just been told we now have a Yes after the appeal, my husband is coming at last, thank you so much to everyone who offered advice and support, we are in shock that this is now all over, once again thank you.

Hi, Yes we are making a fresh application, with legal help this time, we now have all our evidence from the UK too, I chased up the British Embassy in Albania again, when I was there the other week. Previously I had to keep saying the British Embassy has this, that and the other. The marriage certif...

My Refusal letter has finally arrived today, I had to chase them up three times to get them to send it at all. The problem is it is useless it says exactly what it said on the INIS website, there are no explanations for why they think our marriage certificate is not genuine and why they think that o...

Hi, I have already contacted them, I am just waiting for the refusal letter, so that I can show this to Solvit. I have found out some things which Ireland did do incorrectly in our case. They never asked for further documents even though I was in contact with them ever week, they never sent a letter...

Hi, We have been in a relationship for 3 years, lived together in the UK for 7 months, until we both returned to Albania to apply for a Fiance visa, he has then remained there ever since, with me visiting him as often as I can. We have been married since January of this year, so we will have been ma...

Hi, sorry, I was really upset when I typed that.
I am a British citizen, living and working in Ireland for 4 months, my Husband is Albanian and is now residing in Albania. We applied through the Irish Embassy in Athens

Hi,
Thank you for your response, he applied in Greece as Albania does not have a Greek Embassy.
Thank you for the Solicitor details, I submitted a photocopy of my passport, they say this is not enough, I did not realise I needed to get it notarised too.

Please help My Join EU Spouse Visa has been refused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the hell do I do now? Please see my post MY JOIN EU SPOUSE VISA HAS BEEN REFUSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have put all the details in there, I need a very good Solicitor I think now.

Please Help!!!!!!!! My Join EU Spouse Visa has been refused which I have waited 4 months for an answer on, I am distraught, please help, what can I do? They have refused on immigration history, I understood this does not count with EU Treaty Rights, the history is from UK. They have refused because ...

Hi, Sorry I had assumed you were now together, just because your original post was in July, I apologise for assuming. What I was referring to in my earlier post, was that he could travel without a visa/permission, but it does not apply to us, as he is not in another eu country with a right to stay t...

Hi, Thank you highhorse, can I ask you a few questions, when you got your yes, did they contact you, or did you get the answer from the INIS website? How long did it to take to get to Ireland, did they delay returning the passport? How do they send the passport, is it sent to your representative, yo...

Hi highhorse,
It is simply a Join EU Spouse Visa, I don't know why it is taking so long either. He is not banned from the UK, he left of his own choice, although he did overstay.

Hi Fatty Patty, Thank you for your response, Albania is on the list which requires a visa. I do have all the proof and evidence, just worried where to go if by some possibility they do refuse, as I have heard that very few refusals are overturned at appeal. After reading the Official journal of the ...

if you an eu citizen and excercising your treaty right in any eu country, you would not have a problem bringing your non eu spouse to be with you. just come to ireland, get accomodation and a job, then send for him, he has to submit your marriage certificate, your original passports, then his visa ...
