They didn't ask us for any other documents, even though we didn't send the payslips, tax cert or letters from the prtb (which we have now btw). No idea why our application was accepted so quickly but I'm not planning on asking! :) They might take until Feb to process your application then, but if yo...
Nothing whatsoever, the first letter was very vague. It just stated the date they received our application, what docs they were returning and that the onus was on us to advise of any change in our circumstances. Closing line was "This office will be in contact with you in due course regarding y...
This is the covering letter I sent together with my husband's application for a Residence Card: EU Treaty Rights Section Irish Naturalisation & Immigration Service 13-14 Burgh Quay Dublin 2 7th August 2013 To whom it may concern RE: Mr X - Application for Residence Card I am writing to you in co...
Hi everyone I've posted a few times and was really appreciative of the great advice we received. So I wanted to let you know that my husband received his Stamp 4 EUFam Residence Card yesterday, for the full five years, only five weeks after we sent the application to the INIS! So in the interests of...
For info I just received this email from INIS: Your husband can complete Form EU1 and submit it with whatever documentation you have. Explain the circumstances about wage slips and send them when they are available as it takes 6 months to process. You may get a temporary Stamp 4 if this office is sa...
Thanks jeupsy and yes at least once INIS reply I can wave the email in their faces - only if provoked of course... - and say that I tried to do everything by the book!
Thanks for your replies jinkazama_11 - you've been really helpful. 1) The reply from Garda that you received clarified things a bit - I emailed INIS earlier today with some questions and expect I'll get a similar response. So my understanding is that applying for his residence card is the first thin...
Hi Just a bit of background info, my Guatemalan husband and I moved to Dublin on 1 July 13 - I am starting a full time job on 6 August 13 and we now both have a permanent address, our PPS numbers and a joint bank account. 1) I am confused about whether we need to register my husband's presence at th...
We called the Irish embassy in Guatemala and asked what we needed to do to have our marriage certificate translated in a way that the Irish government would accept, and were told how. The Guatemalan way was a bit convoluted - had to get it signed and stamped by the Ministry of Exterior Relations, th...
Hello again! Just to let you know, my husband and I are now in Dublin and we passed through immigration without any problems. We first went to the EU section but were told to go to the Non-EU section and that I could go with my husband. The immigration officer was quite a young guy and the conversat...

Thank you EUsmileWEallsmile and wiggsy for your replies. Hopefully it will be straight forward but I like to be prepared. Wiggsy it was interesting to read the case re Ms Raducan. Although I can understand how it would be more complicated in her case as she is Moldovan and requires an entry Visa, wh...
Hello all, My Guatemalan husband and I (I'm British) are moving to Dublin on the 1st of July. We are arriving on the same plane, but I am trying to get my head around what to say to the immigration officer on arrival at Dublin airport. i.e. they say "What is the purpose of your visit to Ireland...
Thank you EUsmileWEallsmile for your comment and for correcting me there, I read that in some guidance notes... Another question, as we are planning on being in Ireland for more than three months are we not required to apply for a long-stay visa for my husband? I read somewhere that for stays of up ...
Hello, I'm new to the forum and hope you can help me. I'm a UK citizen living in Guatemala with my Guatemalan husband and we are having the same trouble as another member (srt - http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=134072) regarding having too low an income to be able to apply for the UK...
