Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and looking for help.
I'm British born and my husband is a non eu and we've been married since 2012. He was working without any rights to and was caught with a false British passport and sentenced to prison 12month(I understand this shouldn't have been the case but we had really bad legal advice and representative) served half the sentence (6months)and has a criminal record. 4 years later he was asked to leave the uk, we fought and fought and we lost and he was removed late last year. We also have a newborn baby (a British) by birth. It's been a very difficult time these part few months without help... We've decided to relocate to Ireland.
I am now living in Ireland and trying to look for work since obtaining my ppsn 3weeks ago.
My questions are;
Can I apply for my husband to join me now even though I'm not yet working. (Not yet exercising treaty) the 3months visa. Everything I've read on here says I can but I was told by a lawyer that I needed to be working
Do We apply online for him or he applies at the vfs where he is?
We've been advised to disclose all immigration and criminal history... Will this delay the application? And How long roughly will the visa take to be issued.
Thank you.
