Hi, I'm married with an Irish National also. Just got married last year. I got my visa last week. Your wife should apply for a D-visa, which means long stay. My husband is currently unemployed and he is here with me in the Philippines. My mother in law also sponsored me. So my mom in law provided a bank statement, certificate of employment, payslips, P-60. Hubby provided his bank statement also. Make sure you meet many times, you have postal letter with each other or cards. I have included those even our wedding receipts, photos together and also photos with relatives and family. Your papers will speak for you at the immigration, make sure to submit a complete one. Now, everything is fine now with me and flying to Ireland on July I heard immigration in London airport is strict, you should try to fly via amsterdam. Anyway as long as your wife got her visa, make sure you bring the original documents you sent to Irish embassy (they will return it to you once got a visa) and you will show that to airport immigration. Goodluck to you and to your wife God bless...Trimax wrote:Hello all! I am marrying my fiancee on the 7th of may in her country, Ukraine.
About me: I'm an Irish national, Living in Dublin at my own address currently unemployed and actively seeking work.
About her: Ukrainian national, Fluent english, recently graduated with specialist degree
soon we will begin the Visa process. I will return home to Ireland first and hope for her to be able to join me soon.
I have been doing allot of research on the law and am a little confused by the whole thing.
Can anyone shed a little light on the process on the following points:
1: Which Visa to apply for?
2: When we arrive together in Dublin airport (I will be flying with her when shes coming, as she has to transit through London, I'll meet her there) I have to walk through EU passport control and she goes through Non EU immigration control, Can I walk through non Eu with her to help answer any questions etc??
3: What to expect upon arrival at passport control?
4: I believe I must go to GNIB after that, what will she be hoping to get? A stamp 4? or an EUfam stamp 4? and whats the difference???
5: Will my unemployment be a factor? I recieve jobseekers, and of course am looking for a job actively, I hope to get one after I return from the wedding in Ukraine asap but if I an unable to do so in the near future will it make things more difficult??
Thanks for reading folks, any input here on any of my questions or anything you want to add that I think I should be aware of would be greatly appreciated. I want nothing more then to start my life with my soon to be wife and live and work normally here in Dublin with her.
Just on this, I was given a 5 year stamp 4, as the garda was saying something about what Irish spouses get being brought into line with what EU spouses get. But, as many of you here know, there are usually different rules for different people. May have been that myself and my now husband were known to the guard (as I had a green card in the past), but you never know.agniukas wrote:

Yes, you must go to GNIB with your wife. Take all the docs with you again. She should be given stamp 4 for a year.
