Hi all,
my husband (Congolese) and I (German) moved to Cork about 2 month ago.
We submitted his application under for a Residence Card to the EU Treaty Rights Devision around the end of August. We have not heard back from them so far, but they informed us that currently it takes them about 5 weeks to process the first stamp 4.
Everything went smooth so far - I think we did everything right.
Today as I was at work and my husband at home the police showed up. We live in a flat - they did not ring the door bell outside - they were just standing in front of our door - no uniform. My husband says they said they were Police and they showed their badges. They went straight into our place and ask him if he lives alone, if he works in Ireland, if he work in his previous country of residence, they wanted to see my passport, our utility bills and so forth.
They also wanted to see his passport. To verify the passport they took it with them and dropped of later. They did not explain why they check, only said that everything is fine as my husband asked if something is wrong.
My question: Is that part of a usual process when applying for Residence Card? Do I need to worry about something? Is it possible that it wasn't the "real" police, that it was a immigration officer who works for the Garda? Do you thing is has something to do with our current application?
I appreciate any opinion on this because it feels.... weird.
Thanks a lot!
