Very frightened: week overstay travel visa

[ericadawn]

My husband is an Irish Citizen in the Republic of Ireland.
I am an American Citizen.
I brought my husband to America to live and he left everything to try to stay there with me. Because of extraordinary family circumstances we were not able to stay. We had to pack everything and come back to Ireland.
Now I am trying to stay in Ireland with him permanently.
I had to leave America as quickly as possible as he was still not legally able to work and I was not able to stay around my family anymore.
We had nothing left.
We left and I arrived in Ireland asap with him and got a 3 month permission to stay.
Since then we have been under a lot of pressure to get settled and get our paperwork for my immigration. I was unable to get very important papers sent to me on time and now I realize that I am already about a week overstayed over my 3 month visa.
What do I do????????
Am I about to lose my entire life now? Will I have to go home? Who do I go to who would understand. Are they going to take me away from him?
I have an immigration lawyer but in this snowstorm we are unable to reach him.
Please advise if you have any advise at all.
Thank you so much for your time.
Erica and Mark.

You’re married to an Irish Citizen. You’ll be fine. I know a few people who are Irish spouses who waited far longer than you to renew. None of them ever had any issues. Just get the paperwork in as soon as you can. And relax.
