Hi All, i know the topic is probably already here somwhere but i cannot fins the similar case....
I am an EU Citizen currently still married to a NON- EU and we are living in Ireland since 2012.
My wife is in posses of a valid GNIB 4EU FAM , expiring in 2017, has a full time job and we live in different houses, as we have decided to go separate ways, as far as I know this was communicated by herself to INIS via post.
My first enquiry apply to my intentions to leave Ireland for good by beginning of 2015, and I would like to know if this will somehow affect the status of her current rights to live and work here in ROI ?
Will this situation change her right to stay here in ROI? Can she apply for a different GNIB, or which options are open to her in order not to loose her current status?
To give you wider information about the situation I also would like to add that, we got married in an NON EU country and the marriage was regularly registered in my Original EU -Country of residence.
In second place, which I believe, is a totally different scenario than above, we are also planing to obtain divorce in the same country where we got married, which will take only 30 days and then register the divorce with the required authorities in my EU country, where needed including Ireland , if this will still be the case.
Will she in case of divorce be able to remain in Ireland, and again, can she apply for a different GNIB, which options are open to her in order not to loose her benefits to live and work here.
I want to add that i do not seek for her deportation, i just want back my freedom, and not be longer married to her.
I hope I have given you enough information to answer my questions.
Could you please if possible also refer me to which entity we could seek for advise and help for this kind of cases? which offices can we get assistance on this?
Thank you all for the upcoming responses ,
Meddot
