When my partner and myself were going through the fiance visa process we tried not to leave anything to chance. We showed mobile bills which showed a breakdown of how much we called each other, how many texts I sent her. A list of dates and times from bbm during the 2 previous months (the most that...
Great to know it's pretty bomb-proof for the foreseeable future. It's quite worrying how European law seems to increasingly be the last bastions of freedom for the British public these days. The ECHR (which they naturally want to undermine and even try to replace) and judgements like this. No doubt ...
[quote="xdaniix89"]But then I read somebody who seemed quite clued up mention Surinder Singh was affected and thought this can't be baseless. But it seems it was then...if I could find that thread I'd ask them]
The requirement is that you have met. However, you also have to show that the relationship is genuine and subsisting (which is harder when you have only met once). Read the guidance notes that the UKBA use when assessing whether the relationship is genuine. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecon...
Is this kind of documentation needed for a fiancee visa, or just spouse visa that didn't lead on directly from a fiancee visa? If it's needed what sort of things is the sponsor/applicant typically asked to provide? Also...is there any chance of our visa being turned down if we've only met once (albe...
I read someone else on this board (family section) post that this route will not exist after October 16th 2012, they appeared to know what they were talking about but at the same time are literally the only person I've heard say this....it would surely have caused bigger ripples if this was the case...
The information I've been given seems to be basically that in theory your spouse should have the right to work, but she may not be given the right stamp and you might have to go and harass the GNIB about it a bit.
What i meant to ask is to be a economic migrant worker what is included in exercising treaty rights in a member eu state If you're asking in respect of Surinder Singh, then I've heard that only employment counts for this - not studying or self-sufficiency and I *think* not self-employment either. I...
Yes that's fine. For the first three months following your entry to Ireland, your right of residence is unconditional. Your spouse is entitled to join you. All that needs to be submitted by your spouse in order to receive the EUTR visa to which he is entitled, is his passport, your passport (or cop...
So now is the time to complain to the European Commission. It takes them time to get involved. You can explain that Ireland used to be doing the right thing, but they have changed and now are not letting spouses of EU citizens work easily on their arrival. I'm not clear from that website though, ex...
I called DJEI last year about this. Specifically I called about the fact that family members now did not have to pay the fee, but had to satisfy the other requirements of the work permit. They seemed a bit sheepish on the phone. Like they did not know what to say. I suspect you will have to push th...
You can get a temporary permit: http://www.djei.ie/labour/workpermits/marriedtoeu.htm I am not sure exactly what they mean by "The current policy in relation to new first time employment permits will apply, however the fee will be waived in these cases. If the non-EEA national is resident in t...
The requirements of EU law apply to all EU member states. Resources for the EU citizen can come from anywhere, including work and savings of their partner. Focus on getting a job as soon as possible in Ireland. This is absolutely my intention, but looking at the Irish economy (not that anywhere in ...

your wife will have to fill in an application form EU1. check it from now and see how you would fill it up in relation to your exercise of EU treaty rights. As a self sufficient, you will need to provide comprehensive medical insurance certificate (that's around 1000 euros per a year for 2 adults)....
I guess my next question is if the EU citizen is there as a job seeker, can I, his non-EU spouse, look for and be eligible for jobs as well? Or will the conditions of my stay make me a complete dependent of his? From the moment you both enter the host member state, in theory both of you can work. T...
Is €5,000 shown in a current account enough to apply for an 4EUFam for your spouse while not having employment, in respect of this whole self-sufficiency thing? It could be for a period of time, but you would need to replenish at some point. If your outgoings were €1000 per month, then it would las...
Thanks for the replies. With reference to how it's done over the pond, the UKBA website it says A qualified person is an EEA national who is in the UK and exercising a Treaty right as any of the following: Job-seeker - The EEA national must be able to show evidence that they are seeking employment a...
Yes, you can apply for 4EUFam (a Residence Card ) if the EU citizen is: working self employed self sufficient student Thanks a lot, a couple of quick-fire follow up questions here if I may :) 1. Technically can't anybody just register as self-employed even if they don't have an obvious trade or any...
Read MRAX carefully! And remember that it is very important that the EU citizen find work within 90 days. McDonalds is fine, even part time. But it has the be paid work, and it should leave a paper trail of evidence (wuch as a letter from your employer confirming employment, or pay slips or a contr...
Just to add to this.. I am a UK citizen and my husband is Tanzanian. I too am hoping Ireland will be a good alternative to avoid UK immigration. I am currently in the UK, he is in Tanzania, and next week I am going to Dublin. We will then apply for the 'Spouse/Child - Qualifying Family Members who ...
Thanks a lot for that, article 38 in particular there makes things clearer. So no registration is required whatsoever for 90 days, but from what I can gather after that time you need to either have a job or show that you can support yourself without becoming a burden on social services - how much sa...
well, without a visa, his spouse won't be able to leave Ethiopia, would she? Yes is what I imagined would be the case. I obviously can't just say...''yeah, I'm gonna exercise my treaty rights in Ireland and she's coming with me'' and have that be it, as we're motioned onto the plane with a smile. S...
if you are already in ireland and are exercising your EU treaty rights in ireland, then your spouse can apply for a join EU spouse visa (or something like that). But your spouse will definately need a visa to come to ireland. I was hoping, rather than me being there exercising treaty rights already...
