Sorry, wrote the last post in a temper lol. I meant how can we get money for flights to travel back and forth to Spain for the kids to see there father, (also my partner). I cannot work at the moment due to complications in pregnancy and our first child is only 9months old. Just received the letter ...

Well after seven months of waiting we got a refusal. Basically because my partner holds residency in Spain and this means our daughter doesn't have to leave the Union. I'm hoping to take this to court as where do they expect we get the money and how will my daughter be able to see her father?? Also ...

I'll ignore you because every time "sane people" argue with foolish sages, they beat them with their foolish experience all of the time!
Nuff said!

Shocked

Hi Everyone,

Asking for a friend who is currently in Ireland. He holds LTR in Spain (being there more than 10 years) How long can he be outside of Spain without losing his residency. He is from Mauritania.

Thanks

We are still waiting six months later although we do receive acknowledgement letters.

Has anybody here received approval? Especially without having to go to court?

He had a spanish residency card but he is not an eu citizen so it wouldnt make much difference. I know three egyptians in my local area and I live in the countryside. I wouldn't rule out the chance just write up the best application you can and pester them until you get it

Yes, in my letter I stated that he could stay with me in my house and that I would feed him and that he had a european health card from living in spain that would cover any medical expenses. He got a multiple trip C class tourist visa

My partner is from Mauritania. I am social welfare payments and he had no income so income is not an issue. Would he not stay with you rather than a hotel? I wrote a two page letter detailing all relationship history, I was pregnant so included records of that. Photos of us throughout our relationsh...

A tourist visa is not impossible, we got one for my partner and we also got a multiple trip on the first attempt too. Is he living in Egypt? Well first can you show your flights, accom in Egypt? Like pp said can you show chat, calls history of stuff like that. He can come here and marry you. That in...

DOC44 that surely can't be correct as the reply I was issued with was to go get a visa and enter the state. Once your hear and apply they can't make you leave. Thats the advice I got from every solicitor!

[/quote] How can one say that the child is genuinely deprived of their genuine enjoyment of the substance of their rights is they have never resided in Ireland or country of birth for an appreciable amount of time? It's not a general right. The right was even diluted abit as seen in McCarthy [2011] ...

For anyone who has made an app under Zambrano. Have you or did you receive an application number?
In my own case my partners visa expires end of this month and would like something to say here is the app number

Thanks Patty, I got a chance to read this yesterday and tried getting a bill pay phone. I was lucky I got a really decent guy who said he'd do it but as soon as the bill came through that I needed to open a bank acc and give him a bank statement because they too need proof of address. I think he don...

I'm Irish. But yes, did live in Spain on and off for a while. He has entered France, Germany, Portugal before on Residency card long before baby was born.
I dunno I'm starting to think that maybe they thought he had the right type of card and didn't want to argue further!

Single_Mum as part of the Zambrano ruling you must show the role your playing in the childs life. Just thought I'd mention as you said you had never been to Ireland.

Dodo have you heard anything back yet?
For any other non residents, how are you getting around this utility bill demand? My partners here on a c class (tourist) visa and were being asked for utility bill. Obv. can't provide one so be interesting to here if any non residents have succeeded yet?

Ah thank you!

There was me thinking it all sounded to easy!

I'll keep looking for info on it but don't think I'll chance asking if he has to enter again :P His visa was still valid when he entered but they were trying there hardest not to let him enter until they thought to ask for the residency card. When they asked what type it was he said permanent. Readi...

His card says:
residencia larga duracion - long term residence

No he has no other Eu family members

I'm Irish

He has permanent Spanish Residency

I live in Ireland and he is here too because we've put in a residency app.

He's not my husband btw, but we do have an Irish born daughter together.

My partner is from Mauritania but has lived in Spain for over ten years. He says its permanent residence he holds. (How do you check this?) The immigration officer at local garda station says he can enter without a visa when he likes. Rang INIS they say no. Last time he entered he was made wait, tol...

For our baby whose three months we got a letter from GP (also local TD) to confirm that the baby was indeed living in the state and also stating that the father plays vital role by taking her for appointments, etc.,
Hope that helps

Going to be speaking to a solicitor on Tuesday through the immigration council. Will hold off sending them anything until then.

Thanks leonex and PIKKA Here goes the letter: Dear ......... I am directed by the Minister of Justice and equality to acknowledge receipt of your correspondence dated 22nd June 2011 in relation to permission to remain in the state on the basis that the Zambrano Judgement applies to you. The position...

Hey all, It's been a while since I was here. Thanks everyone for helping with my last query. Anyway I've been following the Zambrano case and whats become of it since. I'm Irish, my 3month old babys Irish and my partner and father of the baby is Mauritanian. He is currently here on a Multiple Trip C...
