My wife (Peruvian), married to me (Irish), recently submitted her naturalisation application based on her Irish association (married to an Irish national). We also have two children (both Irish). She has received confirmation of her application and they have requested further documents - bank statem...
Hi, My wife is Peruvian, living in Rep. of Ireland since 2013 with permission to remain. She has all her Irish re-entry visas and permission to remain until mid 2018 in Rep. of Ireland. Next month she will fly to Lima, Peru via London Gatwick with our daughter (Irish). I (Irish) will not fly with he...
Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated. INIS got back to me and have confirmed that I can proceed and have my wife's passport renewed but keep the old cancelled one. She will need to show this at Dublin airport and will need to update her new passport when in Ireland with the relevant stamps to ma...
I am currently on holidays with my peruvian wife in Peru. She has stamp 4 ( married to an Irish national). She renewed her stamp in July 2014. It expires in July 2015. At this point she'll be given a 3 year stamp when she renews. However her passport expires in July 2016. So in accordance with the r...
As long as the marriage is valid, your relationship history shows that the relationship is true (i.e. not a sham) and most importantly that you can support your partner financially without the need of State assistance - then I cannot see a reason why they would refuse the application. There are othe...
No worries, glad I could help. I know how confusing and difficult it can be when you first start off. You are bombarded with information and INIS often will give you conflicting information and their website is not the easiest to read through. Yes Spanish-English speaking children (with some Irish o...
It took around 10 weeks for the visa to be processed and approved. It had to go through Mexico as that's the Embassy that deals with Peru and as it was D visa (long term visa), it then went to Dublin for consideration. So yes I met my wife a few times and spent several weeks with her each time. Whil...
I was married 9 months after my wife and I first met. So needing two years is obviously not true. Nor should you need a year given my circumstances. Most importantly is evidence of face to face relationships. - Stamps on your passport showing entry / exit of Philippines - Flight tickets - Pictures t...
Hi Romantic123 As you will see from my posts, I've been through something similar myself, so I'll give you my experiences and hopefully this will help you. Have a read of this website on the different types of visas too. http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Visa%20Types 1) Student visa option. This ...
Usually FAMILY EU or ACC EU FAMILY wrote down on the visa which issued to husband or wife of irish citizen when they are traveling together, if the visa issued to that person when he/she traveling alone the only extra comment wrote in the visa is a letter C. which means tourist short stay. Thanks D...
also, do they grant vsa's with longer validity, like 1,2 or 5 years? I have read that you can get a 1 year with 90 days. A work colleague from India confirmed this with me. On application for a visa, she would need to pay and demonstrate that she has sufficient funds, insurance, accommodation, etc....
Hi, My wife, non-EU on stamp 4 has gotten a multi-visit Schengen visa to allow her to travel in Schengen countries over the next 3 months. We have one trip planned to go to Italy in the next month which we are looking forward too. Further to this, she has friends in Switzerland and would like to vis...
He took a photo of my wife - I assume this is for immigration purposes...... wasn't expecting this. Is this the norm Yes this is normally for first timers arriving in Ireland. It is necessary for them to take a photo of you if you're arriving from a Non-EU country for the first time. Ah ok. That's ...
Just an update since last I posted here. Sorry about the length but I would like to give as much info so that other people in a situation similar to mine can get a better idea how the process works from my experience. My girlfriend I and decided to move our wedding forward and we got married in Apri...
Sorry have been busy and just getting back on about this. Hope you will be able to provide me with some further information as responses from the visa office have been less than helpful :( In the information I posted from the Spouse of Irish National division which says apply for a D visa and if suc...
An INIS officer and Spouse of Irish National division got back to me. This is what they said: She should apply for a D join spouse visa and if successful then one she arrives in the State both of you should attend your local Immigration office ( if residing in Dublin you attend the Garda National Im...
Thanks for the response. Yes I understand the point that having a relationship less than 2 years before marriage could look suspicious and sham like in their view. We will have just 1 year by the time we get married in July. My understanding from speaking to him on the phone is that our relationship...
Hi, I previously posted about my girlfriends student visa refusal. http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=746767#746767 We decided not to appeal. Instead our relationship has progressed and we are now engaged. I am an Irish citizen and she's Peruvian. So we plan to get married in July 2013...
Yes I am beginning to think this is the fastest way to get her over here. Will go ahead with the appeal of the student visa refusal. Was talking to the Visa Office in Dublin by phone yesterday. To be honest the person I dealt was quite helpful. They went through each of the refusals. Finance issue i...
Hi all, My girlfriend of 5 months is from Peru. She applied for a Student visa and submitted it mid October 2012. Last week we got the bad news it was refused on 3 areas. 1) Finances 2) Obligation to return back to Peru 3) Observe conditions of the visa. I am my girlfriend's sponsor. I am lucky to w...
