I've tried to find info on this but haven't had any luck. I thought it was just for Australians or something. Any help is appreciated.GreenCardApplicant wrote:Hi all,
Just to let all interested parties know that I have recently applied to the Dept of Justice the permission to remain based on my relationship with an Irish citizen.
I got my approval letter yesterday. I went through an immigration lawyer which I think helped as I got my approval 2 weeks after the application was submitted
My details are: Same-gender relationship with an Irish citizen living together for more than 2 years. I have been on the second year of a green card and I have only a few months to go until I will have enough months to apply for LTR and naturalisation as well.
Good luck to anyone wishing to apply.
Hi,fumo wrote:Hello!
We are preparing documents to apply the de-facto visa now. Just wondering...
1) Will documents you submitted be returned after the decision made?
2) As a part of the proof of relationship, we will the utility bills (ESB/Internet with my bfs name, NTL with my name to the same address). Do all of these bills for 24 months need to be submitted?
We do have all but my boyfriend(Irish) said submitting such huge amount of the same kind of document could make annoyed the officer and pointless...In my opinion we do need them...but he thinks the best idea is showing 3-4 bills per year.
3) We have some pictures and letters which would support the existance of our relationship but they dont have the date on. Is it still good idea to enclose these kind of documents?
If someone know about this, or have opinion please let us know. Thanks.
We did pretty much the same. I haven't collected our documents from our lawyer yet, so I don't know if we got it all back. If you are worried about not getting something back, then make a copy for yourself - just in case.strang3r wrote: Hi,
We got all our documents back - except the registration card (GNIB) as it was expired Re bills: we sent 3 dated 2 years back (ESB, Eircom + bank statement on joint account) and the most recent ones (the same). Re photos: I don't think they are interested in them But why not to send it
We applied 2 years ago, situation could have changed...
Good luck!
Do any of you know if this is only applicable if you are in a relationship with a Irish citizen, or can you apply for this if your partner is a Eu-national aswell.Been together with my partner for 8 years,he is the holder of a Belgiun passport!!!GreenCardApplicant wrote:Hi all,

My partner and I are non-EU and I was on Stamp 4 at the time we applied. The only difference is - departments what handle those application. Looks like for EU the processing time is much quicker than for non-EUHeinrich wrote: Do any of you know if this is only applicable if you are in a relationship with a Irish citizen, or can you apply for this if your partner is a Eu-national aswell.Been together with my partner for 8 years,he is the holder of a Belgiun passport!!!
Hey,GreenCardApplicant wrote:Hi Heinrich,
As far as I understand this: http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/WP07000278 it does not look like you can use this particalur route. There might be other avenues open for partners of EU nationals. If nobody here can give you a definitive answer maybe you should ask a solicitor for sound advice.
Good luck!
Greencard got me in touch with a very good immigration solicitor who is helping me at the moment. A good recommendation for a solicitor in this town is priceless as I've had some pretty bad experience with the lot here in Ireland. I'll pm the contact details if ya want.kabuki wrote:My partner is Dutch, but has been living in Ireland for 12 years. I'm American, and we have been in a relationship for 2 years now. I am currently on a Stamp 1A for trainee accountants, but I hate the job and things aren't going well. My stamp expires at the end of August, and we are afraid I might have to leave.
So, from what I gathered from the posts above, we should be able to apply for permission to remain the basis of our 2 year relationship through the EU route. Has anyone tried this yet? What documents are needed? We've only been on the same lease for about 7 months, but we have emails that date back 2 years and I should have the ticket stubs from my my first 2 trips here, plus spending a summer in the Netherlands while waiting for the Stamp 1A. I also have a good relationship with her parents and have visited her family in the Netherlands as well. Of course, there are photos too.
Any advice would be much appreciated. In regards to seeking help from a lawyer, what do they charge for this kind of work? Could someone recommend a lawyer?
Many thanks.
Thanks. I'd really appreciate that pm. I've been in Ireland working in the Stamp 1A for a year. I was here as a visitor for 3 months in the preceding year, as well as for 1 month. So, I haven't been here very long.sovtek wrote: Greencard got me in touch with a very good immigration solicitor who is helping me at the moment.
