Unfortunately, based on the information others have posted, the Irish will likely refuse your residence application as you have not lived in another EU state. Unless they change policy, or the courts change the law etc.CamB wrote:Well after reading most of this forum I'm not very confident but i'll continue in hope anyway.
We're both from Australia but my wife holds a U.K passport. I hold an Australian one only.
We researched various avenues and were told by the Irish consulate/embassy in Canberra, Australia (after explaining our situation) that to move here all we would have to do was that I would have to register with the GNIB when I got here and I would have all the rights of my EU spouse / wife.
My wife is currently working and we have a place in the south of Dublin that we're renting a room in.
We thought we'd fulfilled all the requirements for my application to be processed so we posted it to the Department of justice on Friday.
I received in the post today all our documents back from them and a letter requesting further documents. These were for proof of my wife's employment status (easy - no problem) and proof of residence in another EU state. This we don't have.
We have 10 to submit these doc's to them or our application will be processed on the document's we have already submitted. I didn't think much of that until i did some research and found this forum.
Now I'm concerned. We sold up everything we had back in Australia to move here and we were under the impression that there wouldn't be any issue with what we were doing.

In theory this should take care of the requirement for proof of residence in another EU state (the UK) as there is no specific timeframe given for how long you should have resided in the other EU state.
