Eu Treaty files waiting time - EU1 or EU1A

[Angel99]

my marriage certificate is about 1 month so they are going to ask for proof of relationship ?

There is no rule how long the marriage should be before applying for the visa but best if the marriage is atleast some months old to rule out marriage of convenience.

They can ask for proof of cohabiting during the visa process or when applying for the residence card or both. They mostly ask for that when you apply for the residence card.

in the website they wrote this
Proof of identity – for example, valid passports for the applicant family member and the EU citizen
Am I supposed to send the original passports of my wife or just my passport and a copy of her passport.
also is 2 pay slips are enough to prove she is there, because they said they need that eu citizen is exercising free movement rights in Ireland .

Hi,

Proof of identity- color photocopy of your spouse passport or ID card (data page and last page of passport or front and back of I.D card)
Same goes to your passport.
** Use paper clips to separate yours to your spouse's.

Proof of exercising treaty rights - copy of your spouse work contract (if the contract has alot of papers, just send the page where it states employment type, salary and signatures). And 2 recent payslips.

They might issue you temporary stamp a week later or within 2 months. Nowadays they can decide to approve your Stamp 4EUFAM in couple of months instead of temporary stamp.

Hi guys,

With my partner we applied for EU1A and have had a positive outcome until now. Just wanted to share our timeline for reference as I used this thread to seek for information on this topic.

Date of Application: Feb 12 2024
Date of Acknowledgement letter sent: Jun 05 2024 -- asking for more documents. New documents sent Jun 10 2024
Date of Stamp 4 received: Jun 18 2024 -- Valid until Mar 2025.
Date of final approval or refusal: Pending

With my partner we have a civil partnership established in France (PACS), even if it's not recognized by Ireland I believe it played in our favor. Between Feb and Jun, we did send one email asking for acknowledgement for our application because we were traveling after the first 90 day permission given at the airport to my partner. She does not require a visa to visit the state.

Good luck to anyone in this process.

Final update today.

Date of final approval: Jul 12 2024.

My original passport.
2 pictures in the passport size.
A copy of my passport ( all the passport including empty pages)
A copy of my wife's passport ( information page and the last page which has the logo of republic of latvia)

And the evidence of treaty rights :
A letter of employment
Bank statements ( receiving the payment from the company she is working for)
And 3 phone bills which gives her(my wife) Ireland address.

the woman in the consulate told me she can send the documents i gave her.

Your travel duration
(Leaving the ‘To’ answer blank will also apply where the application is being made under the ‘Free Movement Directive’ (Reason for Travel” – “Family member of EU/EEA/Swiss cit….”)

Thank you sir for the information.
one last question :
is the flight reservation crucial and it may cause my visa to be refused?
if so how i can reserve a plane ticket without paying ?
thank you again

[Angel99]

@silentghost13
It won't cause a problem for your visa application. If they need further documents they will contact you.

You contact a legit flight booking agency and just tell them you need a dummy ticket for visa purposes. Some airlines also allow you to reserve a ticket for a little price, valid for several weeks.

Hi just need advice how to go about this as things just taking bad turns as my Wife is the only one working and can’t pull on her own . I assumed I will get Temp stamp 4 with acknowledgment letter in time but have got any response as I received the acknowledgment letter and I send the required documents. We are 3 months in my process and have got anything. How can I withdraw my application so I can go back and work because I have been literally doing nothing here .

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You just sent them what they requested for couple of weeks ago. I will advise you to be patient and do not withdraw your application unless you really need to. You're even fortunate to receive acknowledgement letter that quick. Nowadays they don't even reply some applicants or acknowledge their application until final decision (7 months later).

You can send them a letter/email with your person I.d and application number, asking for temporary stamp to travel.

You are in Ireland, don't expect some schengen country immigration process.

[Terry68]

Thank u I will try email them again as they have been responding to my emails . You would expect this type of administration in 3rd world countries .

[Terry68]

Finally received my reply but it was a refusal on the grounds that I did not Submit my passport that I do not have ways of getting and I cannot get . Instead I had submitted my Travel document which I used to Travel. Therefore they told me I can ask for a review by submitting the EUTR4 application. So I guess it’s the end of the road for me . Thank u for the I formation Angel .

Your travel document(Geneva passport) is your proof of identification. If they allowed you entry into the country, then it's sufficient to proof your identity. I believe whoever handled your case didn't have much knowledge or just intentionally denied you.

**Ireland has even suspended visa free travel to Ireland for convention travel document holders . Other EU countries have also reciprocated*

Can you try to get a passport from your country of origin or proof you have tried and wasn't successful?

Review can take awhile. If your spouse has nothing to loose you both can move to more favourable EU country. I don't see a reason why you should force your self here except the language, honestly.

[Terry68]

I thought as much we had moved because my wife found a job here and they have moved with the Kids . I am a French Resident. Getting passport from my country of origins will go against the reason why I was granted Residency in France as I am not allowed to contact authorities from my country as I will lose my residency for I am under the protection of the French authorities.

Since you are a family member of an EU citizen you no longer need the refugee protection from France to live in EU. You have unlimited stay derived from your wife and kids. If there is a way to get passport from your country of origin, get it and apply for the EU-residence card with it.

*Your international protection counts as legal stay in EU.

*It's common to giveup the refugee status when you have more solid grounds to stay* (Having a family with a citizen of that country nd so).

If someday you decide to move back to France or the Schengen zone with your family, you will be eligible for the free EU family member visa and rights to residence in any EU country whether you were illegal or not.

Hi,

I have applied for stamp 4EU on 28th May 2024, after one month received an acknowledgement letter and a request of additional documentation (proof of relationships with photos/travel) and to fill a survey on marrying abroad.

We have been together last 9 years but since we are quite independent we never shared lease, insurance etc.but plenty of travel , visits , texts etc. I was working abroad mostly, so didn't live in Ireland..

My question is on what next, after submitting additional documentation (which we have in lengths) they would issue stamp 4 to the passport to bridge the gap till residency. What will be the process like ? We would receive a letter ? Or do we need to go to Garda ?

Thank you

Thanks, it leads to the next previous page.

I looked through it now, but I don't see an answer in terms of how do you exactly get the temporary stamp. Maybe I am missing something...
