Be careful with this question! People around here are quite sensitised recently to such questions.craftynick wrote:If so what would happen if (not being pessimistic just realistic) we separated before he got Irish citizenship - would his right to stay in Ireland be removed and if so would he be able to get his Spanish residency again or he would he be left to start from scratch again - hope this makes sense, thanks
i am not trying to be an idiot. to be honest, if you really love each other. why would you worry about the 3 years? the question you asked here really made people in the forum think abit, u know!craftynick wrote:We would be returning under EU law as i have been living & working here for 2 years & he has been working here legally for 3 years. Our marriage is 100% legit (he already has his papers so doesnt need me for that & weve been together for 2 years) but my job is finishing next week & I just want to return home to start our married life.
Obviously we hope to be together a lot more than 3 years but we want to make sure of all the legal issues first just in case. It just seems wrong that if we did separate then he could end up worse off.
Thanks anyway for your advice
I think what you're getting at is a fundamental difference in routes to settlement: work vs family. Your husband was independent in Spain through work. Now he's coming to Ireland dependent on you through marriage. I'm simplifying, but I think that's what you mean...?craftynick wrote:ok let me rephrase my question.
My husband has gained absolutely nothing from marrying me. He has held the right to live & work legally in Spain since before we even met.
If we did separate would he be left with nothing or would they at least send him back to Spain & return him to his previous status before marrying me (which was 3 years LEGAL residency).
Before we married, with his status here in Spain he was free to work, to travel around Europe and also back home to Nigeria (where i have just spent the last 2 weeks)- he is more than happy to stay here & still be able to do these things, it is me who wants to move back home & bring my husband
I apolgise if this question annoys anyone or they think that this is just another sacm, i can assure you its not
Sorry Just trying to be a realist
