Unfortunately this particular work permit has been withdrawn by the Dep. Enterprise, Trade and Employment after (what i understand to be) pressure from the Department of justice.cantaro wrote: Some threads discuss the application for a work permit while the EU1 application is pending.
It's not possible, there's nothing you can do but wait for the decision letter... you can try to push them by sending letters/faxes/emails and visiting them every month or so, other then that... you're in the same boat as everybody else. Be glad you're not waiting for a citizenship application, that takes up to 2 years!cantaro wrote:Thank you all for your responses.
Indeed, archigabe, we are not worried about getting the residence for my wife. Due to having resided in Germany for more than one year she fulfils that stupid requirement as well. We are, however, worried about the time it obviously takes until the permit is issued, and would like to cut it as short as possible.
Does anyone have experience about whether it is possible to get a job just by demonstrating that the requirements set forth in Directive 2004/38/EC are met? In that case, waiting for the actual residence card to arrive would not be an issue.

Legally she can work from arrival without any additional formalities, just as you can. The challenge is proving she has this right to an employer who likely is far too busy to really understand EU law.cantaro wrote:Does anyone have experience about whether it is possible to get a job just by demonstrating that the requirements set forth in Directive 2004/38/EC are met?

That is what I am thinking, and I think so because neither the Statutory Instrument SI 656/2006 (see http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/SI656of2 ... of2006.pdf) nor the underlying Directive 2004/38/EC state that a residence card must be issued to the non-EU/EEA national before he/she can work, does it?Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Legally she can work from arrival without any additional formalities, just as you can.

In my opinion all this talk is moot.cantaro wrote:That is what I am thinking, and I think so because neither the Statutory Instrument SI 656/2006 (see http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/SI656of2 ... of2006.pdf) nor the underlying Directive 2004/38/EC state that a residence card must be issued to the non-EU/EEA national before he/she can work, does it?Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Legally she can work from arrival without any additional formalities, just as you can.

I would answer NO. I would attach a note explaining that at 11am on Tuesday Oct 9 you went to the GNIB office at on Burgh Quay and tried to apply to register using form XYZ, but was told by Officer Jones that it was not required.cantaro wrote:this morning my wife went to the Garda/GNIB on Burgh Quay to register her presence in this country, as required by law. The officer that attended her, however, did not take her application and instructed her to complete and send the EU1 form instead. Now the thing is that Section D of the form contains an item "Date of first registration Ireland". What to fill in there? It has a sub-item "If no registration date has been provided please explain why". The officer attending my wife told her in earnest to put her own name there! That does not make sense at all to me.
Is the question asking whether you had a visa when you arrived? Not sure. You could say “otherâ€cantaro wrote:Section D "Status on arrival in the state": What to choose? I would select "Other" but what to provide under "Details"?
