Thank you for that Jambo.

But has anyone actually experienced getting a UK resident card with evidence of less than 6 months and without a resident card?

Hi LS67 My husband and I have done exactly the same thing. We came to Ireland without a stamp for my husband and we went to GNIB, but I'm not sure what they understood because an officer was called and all he did was give us a big lecture and accused my husband of illegally entering Ireland. In the ...

Congrats!

It would be great if you could tell us when you applied, under what category, how long it took etc

I am aware of the address change. We initially said we are staying with a friend (provided a letter from him - the landlord, his utility bill and deeds) until we find suitable accommodation. We were asked to submit more bankd statements, sales invoices and if renting, utility bills, bank statements ...

Thank you for replying. My husband has already got a stamp 4 so will he need to get a new one on the new address?
So once we are there, we can go to the local garda? And if we are in Dublin, we can also go there right?
Just looking for a place to rent and trying to figure out what to do!

I just wanted to ask if it was okay to move to Limerick? I would assume its okay but would we need to travel to Dublin to go to INIS when we get our resident card?
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thank you askmeplz82

I can provide all that. Does it matter if its all transactions are in £s?

Hi again I wanted to check if my business will be sufficient as applying under 'self-employed' once we return to the UK via this surinder route. I registered my business name in Feb and have already registered for tax. I currently sell online, through amazon, ebay and my own website. My amazon payme...

Hi Brigid Thank you for your reply. We have applied for a visit family permit for travel in Nov, which is after 3 months so lets see what happens. I have been working (self employed) since Feb and he has a stamp 4 and a re-entry visa. I will let you know how we get on. I have contacted a lot of peop...

Oh!! I totally get it now. Thank you so much for clarifying that

Jambo, thank you for the reply! I have read people mentioning how to prove self-employment of 5 years for PR? Am I getting it wrong? On the EEA2 form it asks for employment details like accountants letter, HM revenue self assessment, sales invoices etc so all that is for the self employment in Irela...

Hi I just wanted to confirm what I understand. I am a British citizen currently in Ireland exercising my EU treaty rights and living with my non-EU husband. We have applied for an Ireland resident card (decision due Feb). My husband would like to visit the UK for a month so we are applying for a fam...

Also I just realised that the renting requirements have slashes in between like so; if renting; utility bills/bank statements/correspondence of Eu citizen and applicant.
So does that mean we need to submit all or just any?

Hi there I am no expert but just wanted to point some things out from experience. Of course email them first, they usually reply quite fast. But other then that Irish are pretty lenient. My husband and I came to Ireland mid august and my husband didnt have a visa (long story). Dispite that, we appli...

Thank you Brigid from Ireland We want to be in Dublin, as my husband has friends here and hes hoping to get a job here too. We don't need a house, maybe just a double room ensuite. How long would PRTB take? And drawing up a rental contract etc? Also, if my husband were to go UK, we would go together...

You mentioned that you don't have some of the requirements in your original application, so they didn't mention that in the letter? In our letter is says 'a decision on your application is due by 15/02' so I'm assuming ours will take that long :cry: As they also gave us another letter stating we can...

Well I applied as self-employed. I have an online business and I started it in February. I have posted about the letter here http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=146298 I was under the impression that it took minimum 6 months to be decided. On the 1st letter, did they say when your decis...

Josephine thats really amazing!!!! Congrats! I am really happy for you :D I wish my application would be handled like that! I really need your help - what did you possible do?! lol We submitted ours august 15th and a few days ago (5 weeks after we applied) we received the temp stamp 4 letter and the...

Its really up to you where you want to go. Please can someone answer my questions - I'd really appreciate it. As I said before: Thanks, I'll check with the landlord. I wanted to ask, while all this is happening, is it possible for my husband to visit the UK? He just wants to visit for a max a month ...

Hi there Yes he had a student visa, it expired so he tried to extend it and got refused and then went into appeal. We then applied for spouse, not realising that we can't submit on an appeal so his application was refused and he was asked to leave. He was there for about 4 years, legally. But after ...

Thanks, I'll check with the landlord. I wanted to ask, while all this is happening, is it possible for my husband to visit the UK? He just wants to visit for a max a month and visit my parents but I don't want it to jeopardise the situation. We will be returning after he gets his resident card, but ...

Thank you jeupsy and loverboy2. I already sent my business account bank statements for feb to aug so how many more months would I need to show? Do I need to keep sending them regularly? If I send them in 2 months, then what about all the remaining months? Yes, we are married and we are living togeth...

Also, I wanted to ask if its okay for my husband to go alone to Garda to get his temp stamp 4 or do I need to go with him?

Thanks!

Hellp everyone.. I was on here a while ago. My story so far; im british and my husband is pakistani. We left the UK and now residing in Ireland. I set up my self employed business in Feburary and in August we came to ireland together. After a few hiccups, we finally submitted our application mid aug...

Thank you for that. We didn't actually go through and speak to an official, we asked at the information desk and the man was actually really nice and explained it calmly. I'm guessing he doesn't know what the exact procedure is if its not 'by the book'. But from what he was saying we didn't want to ...
