Personally I would recommend that you attempt to make a profit, sufficient to pay a small amount of prsi/tax. Once you make a profit, it is very difficult to argue that you are not self employed. Making a loss could cause trouble with the visa /migrant worker rights- not sure, and I would hate to ha...

Apply for a visa for her as your spouse to travel with you to Northern Ireland, as you intend to look for work there. Visa for wife of migrant worker is free and fast, and in Northern Ireland you are an EU citizen and therefore a migrant worker looking for a job.

If you wish to try that route I would suggest: 1. Get part time job in Northern Ireland - so that you have payslips from there. 2. Get an address in Northern Ireland. Live at the address at least two/three nights a week, as immigration may visit. 3. Then apply for the visa, using migrant worker righ...

You are exempt as you meet the condition: 'Anyone who has lived lawfully in the UK for the 12 months prior to treatment. An absence of up to 182 days is allowed but you must have had immigration permission to be in the UK for the full 12 months'. The child is exempt because the child is 'The spouse ...

The easy way is to get a student visa, to study English or hotel management and this permits you to work part time also. The problem is that this is expensive, you must show that you can pay the fees and that you have some money to support yourself if you cannot get a job easily. Many non-EU student...

Can you transfer from degree to diploma? You must ask the university you attend, it will be their decision.

This depends on which part of Ireland you live in, obviously.

No point in media exposure - this would damage your case, not help it, as many Irish do not want more immigrants (even short stay visitors). There is possibly an assumption that your EU citizen wife, if she is working here in Ireland, will try to gain permanent residence for your mother under EU law...

The additional information (that you got stamp 4 through marriage) is a help, but if the marriage should end you could lose the stamp because of the initial deception, if it becomes known. On the other hand, if you have a child who derives Irish citizenship from your spouse, then you are pretty safe...

You can apply for a visa for them, if they require a visa. The process is that you need to show that they are dependent on you. Financial dependency is not sufficient, you need to show that they have health problems and require old age care. It would also be good if you could show that they cannot p...

Forget about your undergrad degree - in your position it is impossible for you to use it. The first option is to re-apply for asylum, using your full name.

I do not think that there is much difference. Stamp as the mother of Irish citizen child is renewable until the child is an adult, so this would be my preference. The parent of an Irish child has a very strong right to remain in Ireland. If I were you I would ask the immigration service what is the ...

The case of the grandmother is stronger if she is the parent or grandparent of an EU/Irish citizen. That is why it is recommended that you get Irish or EU citizenship (preferably Irish) for the baby. It gives the grandmother a blood link to an EU citizen.

The child must be here three years to get citizenship, but it does not matter, as the child is young. You still get child benefit, and all other entitlements for the child.

You can travel to Ireland easily, as an EU citizen. If your husband and child are non-EU, check to see if they need a visa (it depends on their citizenship). If they do, then the visa must be issued quickly and free if you state that they need the visa because you (the EU citizen) wish to travel to ...

I think that integration is a good idea.

If you are single/childless/older choosing to do an evening (or daytime) class - a che...
