Hi all,
I would be grateful if you guys can help me a bit in this matter.
SITUATION:
I am currently living in UK and applied for my wife's and son's UK visa from Pakistan in May 2013 and in December 2013 wife was granted visa but stepson aged 6 was refused on basis that she did not provide court custody papers to show that she had sole responsibility of child. We have appealed and currently looking at Feb/March 2015 before visa being issued to stepson. Wife travelled to UK for couple of weeks and went back. Now rather than waiting one year I have decided to move to Ireland to use my EU Treaty Rights and apply for their permit.
Under The Directive 2004/38/EC it should be straight forward. But I came across a forum where someone got EEA Permit refused from Irish embassy saying that spouse might have intention to move to UK.

Does anyone have experience in this matter on any advice what to do or write in application to avoid any rejection.
I am planning on applying on 21/03/2014 so any urgent advice is greatly appreciated.
We prepared papers.
My passport copy
sponsor letter from me declaring we moving to ireland
marriage certificate
birth certificate
court custody papers for child
hotel booking in ireland for initial stay till we find apartment
airline reservation for three of us to fly together from pakistan
money receipt to show family depend on me
If you kindly guide me on procedure and advice weather UK visa refusal will affect our further application for Ireland.
Thank You
